Ratings and reviews

I like having the info, and it's accurate-ish, but the app itself is terrible. I thought I used to be able to do things fairly intuitively, such as turning up/down swath opacity, or when loading a map you can choose to keep the current map or delete it, showing only the one youre loading. but for some reason I can't do it now. it's not Intuitive, always gives me notifications for the wrong places but not my area, etc.

doesn't work, glitchy then asks for your location but says it's not required to run program. then glitches out and does nothing but blinks and jerks about. Location is pointless because if you're looking for hail it's usually not right where you are. you wouldn't need an app to tell you it hailed outside your window earlier. however you would need it to scout a remote location for hail. but since it doesn't work either way well keep shopping until it is better developed.

Does not work on Android at all. I have a flagship android phone (Galaxy S10+) so it isn't due to lack of performance. You might as well open Chrome and set to Desktop mode and use interactive hail maps website. Wish there was more convenience in my day to day canvassing but there isn't. Have even written the developer's to no avail. I NEED this service but am forced to a second rate way to get it.

We were warning about memory problems a wee bit too aggressively - dialed it back.
