Ratings and reviews

For the most part this app is the best, and I love it. HOWEVER, the most recent update June-2025 has turned Weather Alert text to a light grey on a bright, light blue background, rendering it *completely unreadable*. This is a serious problem when there is a Severe Storm Watch and I can't tell what area it's for! Please Fix Quickly!

The only unique feature of this app is the video update by local meteorologists. Everything else is available on any of many weather apps like Wunderground. Some of the ads are trackers that also link to malware.

Great app. Keeps me informed about any weather, good radar to view also. please stop putting information in white letters on a white blue screen you can't read it.
