Useless
Fireace144
I work outside a good weather app is important and this one stinks! Today alone was suppose to be cloudy all day yet here I am baking in the sun! Inaccurate and unreliable forecasting at its best!
Garbage
WordNerd111
Worked flawlessly until they put out an update. Radar is completely inaccurate. Shows area is experiencing rain and there is no rain. App notifications woke me with a jarring alert at 3 am for flash flood warning and minimal rain came. Flash flood alerts came every hour another time and there was zero rain that day. Forecasts are inaccurate. This app is now more of an annoyance than a help.
Needs More Weather Maps
Christopher030207
The app is great so far but it needs more weather maps. I would like to see the dew points and the water temperatures. I also would like to see Wind Gusts on the map.
Like it

I like the alerts and especially like the radar because you can zoom in or zoom out and see what’s coming. I appreciate being able to go to the most recent weather broadcast from the channel as well as being able to go anywhere in the world on the radar. I’ve loved it but occasionally the radar blanks out but that was only recently perhaps the latest update will adjust that
Issues w/v 5.4.940 that need to be addressed
JazzerEllie
Don’t you hate when you update an app & the old version was MORE functional? Programmers need to take the watch/warning/advisory overlay OFF of the main map & go back to making that an OPTION you can add in the drop-down menu if you like. Why? Because the watch/warning-advisory overlays are COLOR CODED & interfere with other map functionalities like the 24hr snowfall overlay, which is ALSO color coded. Please fix this!
Won’t open

This app was great for a lot of reasons for me personally! Lately I haven’t been able to open it and when it does it’s in the afternoon. Please fix this. I use to love this app, lately I haven’t!!!
Could be the best

This could be the best weather app ... if it worked. The information is arranged to quickly and easily see temperatures hourly and daily without a lot of swiping as other apps require. HOWEVER, it is o longer reliable. Most of the time when I try to use it, the app is frozen. Would not recommend until the bugs are fixed.
Doesn’t work most of the time
Lisad1971
Even after restarting my phone, this app just freezes up most of the time.
App constantly freezes at home screen
iWin4Life
The app is great when it works constantly freezes on home screen and won’t load very unfortunate as this this best layout for local weather app without a bunch of distracting ads. Deleting and reinstalled three times with no fixing
