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.

It worked great till it didn't. I have noticed for at least a week now that the radar is not even close to the same as other radar apps. I looks the same every day. For instance there is a front coming in from the western USA today across the central states, but it is not showing anything on radar app , but its there on the web page. Its also not working on a mobile android Moto 4e in the browser, same as the app on the device. It's stuck on 5:10am and no real time radar. BUT ... clear device cookies ... and it works
