User Reviews

Reviewers frequently praise accurate forecasts and a visually appealing, easy-to-use interface, but these positives are overwhelmed by repeated issues. The top problems include intrusive ads that obscure data, poor readability due to small text, frequent instability or crashes during storms, radar malfunctions (freezes, past data, missing future tracks), and navigation quirks that send users to the wrong screens. Some users still value the app for warnings and comprehensive coverage, but stability and clarity are the dominant concerns.
Pros
  • Forecasts are accurate
  • Nice looking UI and easy to use
  • Radar feature provides helpful insights
Cons
  • Ads banners cover important content and are highly intrusive
  • Text is too small and readability is poor (especially with busy backgrounds)
  • App reliability issues: frequent crashes/loads during storms and need for reinstall
  • Radar reliability problems: freezes, stuck data, or not showing future tracks
  • Navigation/UI glitches: taps or scrolling send you to unintended screens or pages

It used to be good. What happened to it?

When I open the app it shows me somewhere else entirely where I’m NOT located. I have to keep deleting it and go to my follow me thing to where I’m exactly at on the map. Please fix it.
