## Review summary

Reviewers praise fast, reliable radar and up-to-date NM weather info, easy navigation across current, hourly, and daily forecasts, and strong iPad performance. However, recurring issues dampen satisfaction: intrusive ad experiences (including long video overlays), startup/crash problems and occasional failure to open, and map inaccuracies or outdated location placement for bases. Some users also report landscape-mode limitations. Overall, the app shines for radar data when it runs smoothly, but stability and ad-related annoyances are the dominant negatives across reviews.

### Pros

- Up-to-date NM weather information with current radar and forecasts.
- Works well on iPad, delivering radar faster than the website with easy navigation between current, hourly, and daily forecasts.
- Easy access to closings and clear, readable forecasts.
- Considered one of the best radar utilities by some users.

### Cons

- Intrusive ads, including long video overlays with no exit, and ad load times that hinder use.
- Frequent crashes or failure to open the app, sometimes on startup or splash screen.
- Inaccurate map locations for sites like Holloman AFB and Fort Bliss; missing or mislocated areas.
- No landscape mode support on some devices.
