User Reviews

Users praise Indy Weather Authority for accurate radar and daily usefulness, but repeatedly report major frustrations. The primary pain points are intrusive ads, radar/map glitches and freezing, performance issues that block opening or slow the app, and overlays that obscure essential data. Some data accuracy concerns also surface. Many long-time users want the old, ad-free radar experience restored and the app stabilized. Fixing ads, stabilizing the map, and preserving essential radar features could restore trust and usage.

Pros

Radar data is highly accurate and trusted by users (often called the most accurate among weather apps).
App is used daily and provides essential weather information.
Comprehensive radar features, including past and future views.

Cons

Intrusive ads and pop-ups disrupt the experience (full-screen ads, banners, and blog pop-ups).
Radar/map frequently freezes or glitches (freezes when zooming, only shows future radar, current radar disappears).
App instability and slowness (won't open, crashes, or takes long to load).
UI overlays obscure critical data (dew point and wind speed covering daily forecast; watch/warning boxes blocking the map).
Occasional data inaccuracies (forecast temps and other readings inconsistent with actuals).

Recent reviews

Now that ads pop up every time you change from one part of the forecast to another, it’s virtually unusable. Very disappointing.

I am a very long time user of this weather app. Brian Wilkes has been my go to for any kind of weather updates for years. I’m saddened by the fact that they have decided I need to watch an add before I am able to check the radar, see what’s in store for the day or check the 10 day… if I switch from one area to another or change my location, yep, gotta watch another add!! For this reason and this reason alone I am moving on to another source for my weather information. Very disappointing!!! Do better Fox 59 & CBS 4!!!
