Element: Weather Radar App Reviews

Why do I see promos to upgrade to premium? I am already paying for that, right?

I keep getting notifications for fog and frost when it’s over 50 degrees F here. No fog and certainly no frost at that temperature. I double checked my location and it’s correct. UPDATE: First of all, thanks to the developer for responding quickly to my issue! I tried turning off notifications and since I turned them back on the problem seems to have corrected itself. I’m now very happy with the app!

I WANT to love this app. Great interface and nicely customizable. But especially after the last update, it’s soooooo slow loading weather info after opening that it’s basically unusable. Sticking with it in the hopes it’s improved, but at the moment can’t realistically recommend.

Best weather app ever it’s so simple and easy, barely no ads and it’s so cool and go show some love to the Instagram

Refreshing new take on the forecast that feels designed for this era. Radar is great and I love the Lock Screen widgets and use them every day!

this app has a sleek interface but doesn’t work in the way I want. My favorite feature of weather apps is the radar and this one has an unreliable radar that won’t play future activity. Therefore deleting the app.

Decent all at first. Didn’t quite feel like dark sky, but as close as I’ve seen. Recently seems something broke within it. Getting spammed with false advisory warnings (air quality, fog, frost, etc). Multiple coming through for different locations almost back to back giving pages of notifications — even clicking them direct brings you to the app with no sign of where that alert even came from. App seems to be running a bit clunky as well. No real benefit over the stock app outside of daily (morn

I love the look and the potential. Living in Florida I love the tropics feature to see the current activity for hurricanes and depressions. But I also would like accuracy in regards to current conditions and warnings. Most warnings I get delayed but 10 min if not more. The radar seems in accurate. I have two screenshots one from the Apple Weather App and one from Element. It was raining and that was shown in Apple Weather App. Element showed nothing on radar. I hope it gets better but

The moment I opened the app, before I even had a chance to explore the interface or see what it actually offers, I was immediately greeted with a subscription screen. I haven’t even experienced the app yet, but I’m already being pressured to sign up for a paid plan. This constant push toward memberships and subscriptions in every app is getting exhausting.

To compare your self to the greatest weather app of all time is egregious when your features are your shortcomings. The app takes entirely too long to load on start. Slow to open then incredibly slow to fetch data. Weather is a quick look and the sluggishness of the fancy UI is an utter failure. The UI also takes entirely too many clicks to get anywhere of interest. Swiping, dragging and clicking is too much when the native iOS weather app just shows you literally everything this app does upf

I got excited when I saw that it had most of the features of Weather On The Way and Carrot but there isn’t integration of CarPlay. What good is the navigation weather feature if you can’t pull it up while traveling?

I got the app and have been using the free trial for three or four days now. The app is very clean looking and there is plenty of data. However, there are some basic issues that led me to not continue past the free trial. Primarily, the time sliders on the radar screen are nearly impossible to move. Most of the time, I can’t move them at all. I also can’t switch from the precipitation map. Basic issues like this are why the subscription price is not worth it to me.

Don’t bother trying to use half the functionality the app promises. The radar doesn’t load, doesn’t play, and the summaries are clearly AI generated slop. Better off checking your local paper. At least a person wrote that.

Went for the free trial just to check it out and have to say I’m disappointed. I’m not seeing an hourly forecast, and I’m not seeing anything about the wind direction. Only the wind speed and gusts. Maybe I’m missing something? So far the AccuWeather app has been the nicest format for me even though it doesn’t seem to be all that accurate at times.

I really wanted to love this app and I’ll hand it to their marketing team, because I bought what they were selling. Sadly, the app itself doesn’t rise to the occasion. Its map animations stopped working and the entire interface is less than intuitive. Maybe they’ll update it and issues will be fixed but until then, I can’t recommend it.
