Ratings and reviews

It has a lot of potential! It's brand new and it seems like there needs to be some work done to make it load faster on slower connections. It's also quite the battery hog. There also seems to be a sync issue between the audio and video in the live stream, but it was present on the Roku app as well so I don't think it is specific to this app. I like how the state is divided into regions for easy access, and the multitude of radar options including both national and regional NWS office radars.

love span. app is pretty good. excellent during severe weather. only 1 complaint. 7 day forecast needs to show night time lows without having to open up each day's detailed forecast. Fix that, 5 star for sure.

This is a five star +. Seems very accurate and responsive. Options like base reflectivity and velocity radar come standard where others require subscriptions for these features. Radar image is as up to the minute as any I have tried. Very pleased! Would love to have it available for my watch.
