## Review summary

Users praise the radar when it works and find the app easy to use, but recurring issues dominate: heavy ads, unreliable radar data, stability problems after updates, and a reorganized UI that obscures essential weather information. Overall, the app is useful for radar and familiarity but frustrating due to performance, accuracy, and ad-driven clutter.

### Pros

- Radar is a core strength and is praised as among the best available when it works.
- Easy-to-use interface with straightforward navigation.
- Historically reliable app that many long-time users have trusted.
- Support staff praised by some users.

### Cons

- Ads and video ads are intrusive, frequent, and disrupt navigation and viewing.
- Radar often fails to update or shows inconsistent precipitation data (flickers, blanks, misreports).
- Stability and OS compatibility issues after updates (e.g., iOS 17 / iPad) causing crashes or failure to open.
- UI overhaul hides essential weather information behind scrolling and cross-promotion, cluttering the experience.
- Inconsistent or inaccurate weather data (e.g., conflicting city forecasts, wrong rain predictions).
