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

I work in the concrete industry so our job is based off the weather. This app when it comes to rain/thunderstorms is wrong 85% of the time. For instance just about a few hours ago they had a 95% chance of thunderstorms then I check the app a few mins ago it the thunderstorms is completely gone. I can understand being wrong by days because the storm could travel different path ways by then but getting it wrong by hours on the same day is bad. It been days when the app say no rain at all that it pours down and days that they say it will rain the day is dry. The app it self is cool for the features but whoever is predicting these forecasts needs help.

They’re very slow to update anything when you get an alert. It’s already gone by if they’re gonna say you’re gonna get hammered by storms they’ve been done for 20 minutes you read into this what you want they need to step up the game. There’s better apps out there.
