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 have been using this app on the IPhone and IPad for years, possible since it was created. It is my go to weather app that I check everyday if not multiple times a day. With kids and activities, it helps me plan my days. But this version (I don’t know when it was updated) for the iPad is unusable. The spacing is terrible and makes no sense. I will continue using it for the iPhone but will be deleting and looking for a different one for IPad which is a shame. The one thing I don’t like about the iPhone version, how the screen width shrinks as it is opening up, messes with my eyes, but I just blink long til its over and all good. Please put some time into the iPad version and make it good again.

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.
