Tiny & Why..
Nick656565

Why for the iPhone and not the iPad? Phone size in tiny box on bigger screen. And worse only 50% of screen shows a map.....rest is too big header and way too big footer w/local temp info. The concept of a FL weather app is good given its “in the bullseye geography”, but this needs much more thought.


Live radar

Like another user stated live radar stopped working. When live/future radar worked it was a great app for keeping up to date during storms and hurricane season. Would love to have all features functioning for the coming season.


Used to be great
lovescubes

Was great, 5 stars, until the radar stopped playing. I used to use this to see about how fast a storm was moving and in which direction. Now it’s almost useless to me. Please fix!


Latest Update - Excellent

Been using this app for a few years. The latest update has made this my go-to for weather radar, current conditions, and forecast. Nicely done and free! Some have reported battery life issue. As with any app, adjust settings. Set your location settings to “while using” instead of “always”. Also turn off background app refresh. This will help battery life as with any app. Excellent app, I recommend it.


Worthless App

Aborts on iPhone 6S. Piece of crap. Now aborts on iPad. Should be debugged before release.


Wonderful app
Ordinary Wonder

Thank you so much for the update on this app. It takes a while to get used to the new design but once you do it is back to being really useful. Please keep the bug fixes coming.


Fixed

My go to weather app living in Florida! Once again an excellent app. Sadly it was unusable on iPad for awhile. Now it works. This gives excellent information with very good graphics. From afternoon storms, to hurricane tracks, to evacuation information, this app takes care of minor or major weather events. As it is an NPR app, advertising is not a problem.


You get what you pay for

This app cost nothing and that’s what it’s worth. Does nothing. Shows nothing.


My “go to” weather app living in Florida
R7A7F

Excellent app, and as it is Florida Public Radio, no adds. This is good for everyday thunderstorms, but ..excellent.. for hurricane season. Overlays show forecast track, warning areas, etc. Easy to access evacuation info, zones and checklist. All the information you need is here and easy to find. Living through Hurricane Dorian’s approach as a CAT 5, this has been invaluable.


Alerts do not work
ayeeeee

Alert feature is broke.
