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Radar feature is unreliable or not showing future radar (outdated or unavailable)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)

Recent reviews

I loved using the old hurricane tracking app. It was simple and straightforward. This new app does not even show anything and it has to many layers to get to what you are looking for.

This is by far the most inaccurate weather predicting ever. Don’t plan your day around these clowns. The forecast for this app getting the weather wrong is 100%!
