Ratings and reviews

This app started off great. Over the years it has gradually become less and less so. It is often laggy and much slower to update than alternatives. The past week or two have been particularly bad, especially with derived products. Hopefully it eventually returns to its former glory but for now I unfortunately have to drop my former 5 star rating.

it has a lot of great features for storm spotting, but there is one major flaw: it won't keep my location circle on the map. it disappears after a few secs, so I am constantly having to hit the location button to get it back. this is especially frustrating when I want to look at the storm with a different radar than the one that's closest to my current location, so I have to switch the radar back every time I turn my location back on. location permissions enabled & I do not have battery saver on

This is a good app to have on your phone, tablet, or laptop computer. I recommend having it always. However it is charging me $14.99 a month for some reasoned?? the app shows it is only $9.99 but somewhere it is getting an extra $5 dollars a month. So watch out for what they charge you. I have had this app for about 2 years, In the beginning you pay for the app and it was just a 1 time payment now they want to charge you for everything.

What’s new

• Fixed a crash that could occur when switching radars.
• Fixed a crash that could occur in dual-pane mode.
