User Reviews

Weather Informant is lauded for its rich NWS data access and alert capabilities, especially by storm spotters and emergency managers. However, iOS users repeatedly report broken subscription flows (Apple ID prompts and failed upgrades) and a perceived lack of developer support or updates, with ongoing purchase verification problems diminishing overall usability.

Pros

Push alerts for all National Weather Service products (watches, warnings, advisories) with real-time updates.
Broad access to NWS data and text-based products within the app (AFOS-style viewing).
Highly valued by storm spotters and emergency managers for rapid weather information and easy data access.

Cons

iOS subscription flow is broken: repeated prompts to enter Apple ID password with no completed purchase.
App appears abandoned on iOS with no updates for years and little to no developer support.
Persistent purchase verification/restore issues (unable to verify or restore purchases, hangs or redirects).

Recent reviews

App no longer receives any data from any location. App was last updated 6 years ago, so it appears it has been abandoned.

This has been my go-to weather app for a few years, but suddenly (June 2022) it seems to have gone offline. There is no word in support — either in-app or online — as to why the app is seemingly disconnected from all feeds. A $9.99 yearly subscription is mentioned in the Settings, but the link to Apple also seems to be dead. I suspect the app has been abandoned, at least for iOS. There hasn’t been an updated version for two years.
