Recent reviews

This app used to be extremely accurate and the only one you needed to look at. The past year or so, it has become almost completely worthless!! It is very generalized and almost never accurate.

1- prior to the update, the radar would constantly update every minute or so, there was not much delay in updates. Now, it’s not a real time update radar. 2- user unable to adjust animation loop of the radar. You have it at a set speed, and you cannot tell when it ends and loops again. The beginning and the end of the loop look like one . The old app was much better. We update the app and we ruin it.
