User Reviews

Many reviewers praise the app’s historical reliability and location-tracking while repeatedly reporting critical flaws after the redesign: app crashes, radar failures, a cluttered, ad-heavy interface, and a perceived regression in usability. The core weather data is valued, but access to it is hindered by technical and design issues across multiple reviews.
Pros
  • Historically reliable weather data for NE Florida (accurate forecasts)
  • Ability to track saved locations to monitor weather
  • Was a go-to weather app used daily and trusted by users
Cons
  • App frequently crashes or won’t open / forces close
  • Radar feature is unreliable or not showing future radar (outdated or unavailable)
  • UI redesign is cluttered and hard to navigate; content is overwhelmed by ads
  • Ads and monetization interruptions (pop-ups, banners) interfere with use
  • Perceived regression in usability after updates (harder to access weather information)

I, just as much as everybody else had to get this out because hurricane four says this is replacing you need to download it. This app is a whole bunch of extra steps to tracker Hurricane and it’s easier to use is horrible when it comes to something like a hurricane simplicity is best I hope sincerely that News for jets will discontinue their plans to merge the two apps
