Ratings and reviews

The app has gotten better over the past couple of years. It is still not 5 star but I don't think any app is "the best". I am a SKYWARN Weather Spotter and rely more on the map than anything else on the app. Information like temp, wind and barometric pressure are going to different from your exact location and the technology isn't here to have the app as a personal weather station. All in all, kudos for fixing the freezing issue I had a couple of years ago and got making the map better.

Radar and whatnot is decent. Like the map etc, but my severe weather notifications NEVER work anymore and I haven't changed any settings, have even gone in app settings and within the app itself and on my phone all notification permissions are on and I'm never notified of severe weather like I was when I first downloaded the app, and that's why I downloaded it in the first place. Totally disappointed.

I've used this app for years, but the latest update however has removed the overlay for seeing warnings and watches on the radar which I used extensively. With that feature it was 5 stars to me, but now I need another app just to see warnings when only one was needed in the past.
