From what I could see the app itself was decent. I liked the layout and data organization. But, the ads were intrusive, especially the Temu ones. The lines of ads were not bad, but the full screen ones stopped me in my tracks, and one wrong click, and boom...it's opening my browser and taking me to God knows where. I was not ready to plop down $20 without more experience, so I deleted it. Maybe consider being ad free or less intrusive until I am hooked on the app. This was too easy to delete

Hi. Sorry for inconvenience caused by the 3rd party ads in the free version. We check the ads algorithms regularly, trying to make them not annoying but yet useful and profitable for us. Please note that our subscription provides totally ad-free experience. Hopefully, you'll find the app to be useful no matter which app version you choose to use.

I was literally going to purchase this today, but it just updated and is now subscription based so I changed my mind. It works well but aside from the notifications, it does not really do much more than a good weather app does in terms of radar. Being subscription based means that, over time, it will be a lot more expensive than it was. Pity.

Hi! We appreciate your interest in our app. So sorry to hear that you are not satisfied with the new payment plan. But you are still very welcome to use our free of charge options. Probably you'll find our app interesting enough to become a Premium someday. With deepest sympathy

This app has a lot going for it. About as up to date as you find, seems accurate location wise, a lot of custom setup choices, direction movement arrows, color choices, can move radar manually, etc. Its rain forecasting is rarely even close to making sense, but not including that in rating as not what I use it for. Thanks for a good radar app.
