Ratings and reviews

So, I used to love this app. It worked very well up until the latest OS update. I emailed the developer to advise them of the issue and it is apparently a known issue with no timeline for a fix. The issue, if you try to share a clip it crashes. Also, seem to have layer issues with boxes appearing around the map and effecting the graphic animations. Would love to make it 5 stars...

Tons of information. Highly configurable. I've been using this for 3 years & it's by far the best weather app. CON: A new white bar has appeared across the bottom of the display for some reason which isn't present on an earlier version on a different phone. A shame because it downgrades an otherwise attractive full image.

This is an excellent source for information on weather in selected areas and worldwide. This is my go-to weather app for planning and happening. The flexible data models are great for seeing different views of severe weather forecasting and answering "what's next" or "when will this end." Many great improvements from the original version. I don't have to tweak my settings after applying updates. Love that it's free and without ads. Scrolling feature is my favorite!
