## Review summary

WeatherBug Elite is a trusted, long-standing weather app praised for accuracy, a rich feature set, and strong alerts, especially for lightning and hurricanes. Users note detailed data without ads and easy access to hourly/daily/weekly views with radar and layers. However, many reviews report reliability issues: alerts failing to load, radar not functioning, and login/sync problems across iOS devices; some also report notifications not working. Accessibility is a concern for visually impaired users (VoiceOver). A few question the price/value and say the UI could be more intuitive. Despite issues, it remains a favorite for many.
