Do not buy The paid app has clearly been end of lived where their freemium app has had a massive update. It's unfortunate they chose to join the growing trend of app developers who forget their customers who supported them early on. Don't buy - it's not been updated in ages. And needs to be. Their other app my weather may be great. I won't be trying it after buying this one. ----old review---- iOS app is pretty good if a bit cumbersome. A lot of info and great maps. But he ui has a learning curve for a weather app. The local rain indicators are seldom correct. And they probably try too far out. I get a fair bit of it will rain in 23 mins and nothing comes of it. Even 45 mins or so. Also the notifications are far too frequent even set to one every ten minutes it doesn't seem to respect that setting it's not optimized for watch os2 but loads surprisingly fast for a non native app. Unfortunately the map overlays vanish and it's a bug that's been around a fair bit of time I'd like to see covered. (Zoom and play ) there's obviously no complication either to launch from Watch face and present information. If like to see his app updates more. Updates seem VERY slow to arrive. Overall the iOS app is good for map lovers and accurate weather but lack some design acumen and accurate local Notifications like dark sky. I'm surprised the notifications aren't more accurate given how good the temp and radar is it's trying to catch up with some Of the newer competitors features which as of yet aren't quite implemented right. And despite a recent redesign really needs some ui help (cmon hire a designer!)

Not very accurate

The radar prediction functionality and this app is not accurate. For example it is pouring outside currently and the weather radar app says it won't be raining here for 40 more minutes...

Awesome app

This is an awesome app. Great weather detail it gives with alerts, usually right on, when it's going to rain. The option availability is so great.

Pretty poor at forecasting

I purchased this app specifically because it seemed to be able to give precise forecasts about when rain would start or end at my exact location. What I found in reality is that it did an average job as long as the rain/storms were constant. It consistently failed to predict rain when the storms were developing near my location. I could see the growing and intensifying areas of precipitation on the radar, and could extrapolate the trend to deduce that it was about to start pouring, but the app itself failed to make such predictions, insisting it would remain dry. It also failed to predict when rain would stop. Again, visually I could see gaps in the radar indicating the rain would let up for an hour or so, but the app kept saying rain would continue.

The Best

Great update, back to being the best weather app on my iPhone again!

Love it

Been using this app for years. Very accurate and detailed. I love the notification widget as well. (If you can't decide between this or "Hi-def Radar", get this. It's the same thing except this has a few extra features such as push notifications.)

Great App, but....

This really is s fantastic weather app, the radar is great! The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because I have had this app a little over a year now and it has never came out with an update for the app in the entire year I have had it. Seems kinda crazy that there is nothing that needs updating within a year time frame. But it's a great app and worth it, it is definitely one of my top weather apps besides DarkSky!

Great! It can really save your life!

Green Bay dude

It can show hurricane paths and forecasts it can show every cloud to ground lighting strike in the U.S. One day back in May I saw two storms near my area both were tornado warned one was moving towards my location so I went and told my parents and my friends over text the storm hit it decided to drop a twister near west Chester and not were I live but if that twister did occur over my area I could have been dead because I was not paying attention to the weather until I saw the warning! great app!!!

Needs work

Apple Watch radar not even remotely close to what iPhone shows iPhone shows nothing on radar while watch shows storms rolling through

Waste of Money

This forecaster is never right, I don't know where they get their information from but it's terrible, DO NOT BUY!!
