Ratings and reviews

The App definitely one of the best weather apps around, right on par with the warnwetter app of DWD for Germany. It is pretty close to perfection - accurate, informative, easy to use and it's free to use with no ads! Taxpayers money invested well and the best example what an app can be if the service and devs put some effort into it. Highly recommended!

The location cannot be changed for the widget on the home screen which is cumbersome when on vacations. Also one cannot zoom in on most parts. Feedback from developers = 0 since the year 2024

Very good app, but with many differences between Android and iOS. In iOS (and browser too) you can zoom the boundary of the animation map. In Android increase zoom will crop incrementally boundary area. Please Fix
