## Review summary

Reviewers praise WICS Storm Team Weather for ease of use and local, meteorologist-curated data that can be more accurate than the iPhone’s weather. However, many note significant radar/map reliability problems after updates, feature removals (earthquakes and livestream/news video), loading delays, intrusive/incorrect alerts, and occasional forecast inaccuracies.

### Pros

- Easy to use
- Local forecasts with meteorologist-curated data
- More accurate than iPhone built-in weather

### Cons

- Radar/map reliability is inconsistent after updates (radar often fails to load, data conflicts between 6h/24h views, and warnings can obscure the radar image)
- Removal of features (earthquakes and livestream/news video)
- Loading delays and awkward navigation (long startup/welcome screen, difficulty returning to map view)
- Push notifications about rain are intrusive and sometimes inaccurate
- Occasional forecast inaccuracies (cloudy vs sunny expectations)
