User Reviews and Ratings
★★★★★A very great app to have
this is a great app to have it always alerts me when there is severe weather happening in the area whenever it’s snow or thunderstorms.
★★★☆☆Needs updating
Considering this is an app that I’m paying for, I expect it to function during extreme weather events. We had a tornado warning today, and while I received notifications, the alerts on the app itself did not update to match. Very disappointing.
★★☆☆☆Insufficient radar
Requires money grab to see future radar. During severe and dangerous weather, how is this safe?
★★★☆☆Notifications are Odd
I like the app. But what’s annoying is that it tends to generate weather alert notifications and, when I tap the notification and it launches the app, NO ALERTS are seen. So, I’ll see a “Special Weather Statement” notification, tap it, and the app will open with NO additional information about what the Statement is about. VERY annoying.
★★☆☆☆Quality has plummeted.
I’ve used this app for at least 5+ years & it has become useless & expensive. The forecast showing weather across the day conflicts dramatically with that shown for the week. For example, today the conflicting temp forecasts are off by 20 degrees from each other. Sometimes one shows sun while the other shows storms. The 2 forecasts rarely match or are even close. I am currently looking for a better weather app & anticipate canceling this one. I do not recommend it!
