I have a few Weather apps and this one of my favorites. The only thing I don’t like is I have to keep resetting my settings in the app.
Military grade weather reports
USN in Greenwich CT
So much better than Apple iPhone standard issue This weather app is five stars And I complain about everything but this App is above and beyond the rest !
Crap

I liked the AP until a couple weeks ago when I started to get a 500 Server error code when trying to view a weather map.
Austin Texas -40 F. ?!!
GraceOM
Texas at this same ludicrous temp for more than a week. The other cities seem to ok. But a couple weeks ago milwaukee was at over 100 F for several days. Actual temp was around 70. I can’t use this because of the inaccuracies.
Nice - but inaccurate!
Robbieji
The temperatures listed are incorrect. By a lot. Where I live is currently 98. However all surrounding areas show as 70. Not even close! Looks nice - but that’s not enough. If the data is inaccurate this app is useless.
Temp is waaaay off.

The temp displayed for my city on numerous times now has been so far off compared to every other report/weather app, has me deleting this app. Just can’t trust it’s accuracy when it’s like 20 degrees off. I see other reviewers reporting the same thing.
Nice looking but not functional radar
moots mon
This could be the best looking weather app but it fails to score with functionality. Gave it a try and now deleted in preference to the NOAA app with decent radar.
Pretty But Nothing More
TexasJJ
I got this app because I liked the interface. Shortly after it wanted me to pay for the widget. I was going too until a major thunderstorm came up in my area. I went to look at the weather radar and this very nice message told me that weather radar would not work on some devices. Seriously!!!! And then too top it off the message said “we are sorry about this.” I am so glad I didn’t put any money into this app. If you depend on an app like this to keep you safe and informed...look somewhere else.

This is a good weather app that needs some polishing. The icons across the bottom are hard to decipher. I get connection errors and the app does not tell me who owns it. I get the feeling that the programmers are not native English speakers. The graphics are great.
Worse Since May 2018 Update
Mick Gator Fan
There is no permanent setting to avoid the wind arrows on the Maps; they make me nauseous. And since the May 25 update, you cannot even get rid of them temporarily. You are still forced to see “Windy” each time you open map. You can change the view for that session only; setting changes are not permanent. Worse, you select “Feet” instead of “Metric” but the info is still in mm. POOR DESIGN!
