User Reviews

Users praise Element for its sleek UI and strong radar features with good customization and lock-screen widgets. However, multiple reviews highlight painful monetization (expensive lifetime option, family-sharing costs, onboarding prompts), persistent performance bugs, unreliable radar/alerts, and a clunky UX that feels less smooth than competitors. Some also note intrusive trial ads.

Pros

Beautiful, polished UI/UX design
Strong radar visuals and weather data (live radar)
High customization of layout and data displayed
Lock screen widgets support for quick weather glances

Cons

Pricing and monetization friction (very expensive lifetime option; high family-sharing price; frequent startup/subscription prompts)
Performance and stability issues (freezes on open; slow launches; laggy interactions; battery drain)
Radar accuracy and alert reliability (inaccurate radar; delayed or false warnings; inconsistent notifications)
Clunky/unintuitive UX (too many taps/clicks; maps hard to read; not as fast/smooth as native apps)
Ad/marketing intrusion during trial (full-screen upgrade prompts and persistent ads)

Service appears to have ceased. Nothing available in app

Lots of bugs. Most importantly, information doesn’t dynamically update: woke up this morning and the hourly forecast was still “11pm” next - I have to change location and change back to refresh (and I have all the right app settings). App will regularly freeze and be entirely unresponsive and require a full restart. And because I have the gall to use a mail app other than Apple’s, I can’t submit a bug report. Shame. Have a yearly subscription. Won’t be renewing.
