User Reviews

User feedback is predominantly negative due to the recent update. Key recurring issues include a cluttered, ad-heavy UI; frequent crashes and unresponsiveness; less usable radar/map features with reduced interactivity; difficulty finding weather information; and a trend of users switching to alternative apps. While a minority note some positives like accuracy or ease of navigation, these are not widely echoed. Overall, reliability and usability are the main concerns driving dissatisfaction.

Pros

Cons

Major update makes the UI confusing and cluttered.
Frequent crashes and unresponsiveness (crashes on play, looping spinner, unresponsive taps).
Radar/map changes are less usable: reduced interactivity, harder to view future radar, and a bright white background.
Ads have increased and are hard to distinguish from app content.
Hard to locate information; navigation requires more scrolling and leads to frustration; many users are switching to other weather apps.

It’s more accurate than my previous one but really? No widget?

Most download the app to see the radar and see it in motion to see where and when storms will hit if we’re experiencing them. Every single time you press the play button it crashes and closes on you.
