## Review summary

Overall, users praise the app for its ease of use, detailed data, timely alerts, and trusted Channel 9 coverage. However, repeated concerns about radar accuracy, delayed alerts, and occasional crashes undermine reliability. The daily vs hourly forecast inconsistency and missing features like a widget also appear. Improvements in radar consistency, faster startup, and stable performance would make it more dependable for storm tracking.

### Pros

- Easy to use and user-friendly interface.
- Accurate, location-specific data (humidity, wind speed/direction) and maps.
- Real-time alerts and voice notifications for rain, lightning, watches and warnings.
- Up-to-date radar and maps, plus trusted Channel 9 weather content.
- Timely rain timing indicators (minutes until rain) and location-based alerts.

### Cons

- Radar is often inaccurate or inconsistent and sometimes fails to show future activity.
- Alerts/notifications lag behind the weather by about 15 minutes or arrive after storms.
- App stability issues: crashes, radar disappearing, map hangs, and need to reload.
- Forecasts can disagree between daily and hourly views, causing confusion about accuracy.
- Missing features like a home widget and slower startup may affect usability.
