Ratings and reviews

I switched to this app as an alternative to other weather apps that would pester you with ads when navigating the app. This one has been decent in that regard so far - there are ads in the feed, but never any pop-up ads. I do like how you can customize the feed to show the things that matter the most to you. The radar is only 2 hours in the future - I do wish it was longer - but that's the only real (minor) issue I have with the app so far.

I was using Weatherbug because the app was decent for a free one, it's easier to pull up than the NWS radar, and the temperature feature is always on. However, a recent update has messed with the radar feature and it is no longer accurate. Yesterday there was a storm north of me that the NWS caught and the "Spark" lightning part of their app caught... but not their radar.

Paid for the upgrade so I could have access to the additional map layers. For several days after, the Wind and Future Radar (can't remember the exact name) layers still had a lock icon next to them. Clicking either layer would lead to an endless loop on the Manage Subscription page and they wouldn't not display. Then suddenly those layers are now nowhere to be found at all. Not sure what the subscription actually nets you, feature-wise, at this point.
