Ratings and reviews

sub'd. Still see ads in app. There are links in app that take you to another app with another subscription. No discount for already subscribing to one of the dev's apps. I get the need to make money and cover costs, but this is ridiculous. Instant cancel for me. I'm not even going into the other issues with this app it's far from perfect.

Seems nice. I wish that it was not subscription based. I'd consider paying a one time fee to unlock features. But never a subscription... Lastly, why did I uninstall this? Because of aforementioned lack of a one time purchase. I am tired of all developers feeling they need a subscription on everything. If you need the pocket change, keep the ads and just release a full application...

I used this app at work & really liked it. Most weather apps aren't very accurate in my area due to being in a valley between mountains. This app works in real time & simply does a great job at what it claims it does. I'm happy to find it again. The radar is easy to use & understand. It even has a weather forecast for upcoming days. It has a good bit of options to customize the search distance & intensity of rain that will trigger an alert. I only wish there was better widgets with a forecast.
