Ratings and reviews

This app is really good for checking the radar and local weather and for receiving notifications for weather conditions. However, the forecast part of the app never matches the website or news broadcast. It would be better if the weekly forecast in the app gave the same information. The ads are small, remain up at the top and are not obtrusive.

Like a lot of others, whenever I try to use it says 0 degrees all the time. I gave it permission to know my location through GPS, even displays it at the top. I rebooted my phone, and that seemed to get it showing accurate weather. I tried again today, still showing 0 degrees for everything. Unfortunately Im going to have to uninstall it and continue to use accuweather.

This is the best weather app for the Front Range by far - the satellite and storm tracker are indispensable for planning activities. HOWEVER, the lower rating is for the new ads are incredibly invasive and, in some cases, disturbing - I had one offering to help me to spy on my partner & another offering me to practice drone strikes on developing nations. I would rather pay for this app then get these ads.
