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...

Wonderful... the weather in motion. Incredibly helpful. I'm no weather geek, but I love to stay informed about the weather. The conditions in the atmosphere are constantly changing, so seeing the models in motion is Incredibly helpful. I've paired Flowx with WeatherBug and feel like I have everything at hand that I need. WeatherBug tells me the conditions now, and Flowx tells me what to expect soon. Brilliant. Thank you to the developer. 5 stars and more.

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!
