### 1/5 — Garbage

*2026-04-15, version 6.1.602*

Used to be a go-to app. It’s the exact same as NBC15’s app too. Removed the storm tracks/alerts. Now it’s just a screen full of colored boxes that doesn’t allow you to see anything. Do better.

### 5/5 — Good app. Great weatherman.

*2026-02-20, version 6.1.502*

The app is as functional as any and features Madison’s best weatherman.

### 1/5 — Problem.. :(

*2025-08-16, version 5.17.705*

Ok, so every time I click Past + Future in radar it crashes the app, please fix.

### 2/5 — Was great until flooded with ads

*2025-08-13*

This was the best weather app in Madison—far superior to the ones provided by the other local tv channels, but now it’s practically unusable. I gave up reading a forecast for today’s weather after it was interrupted three times by Google ads that gave no option to skip, nor did they give any indication of how long they would last or how to go back to the content I was trying to read. If this doesn’t change soon, I’m uninstalling.

### 1/5 — Slow and lots of glitches

*2025-07-26*

I have to try to open the app several times to be able to view the forecast if I can even. 
Radar always freezes. Used to be my go to app.

### 1/5 — Just like WI weather

*2025-07-11*

I’ve used this app a long time. It’s been great for seeing the radar both past and present but with the increase of ads, the app crashing, or just plain being wrong a fairly good amount of time it’s become just like Wisconsin weather, bipolar and unpredictable. Do yourself a favor and find any other local weather app and stay away from this one

### 1/5 — Used to be good

*2025-06-29*

I’ve used this app for a long time and it was always good. Now it’s constant ads that don’t pertain to the area or the weather. Finally deleted and downloaded a different one. I like it much better already!

### 4/5 — Great app but please improve readability by changing photo

*2025-05-30*

I use this app daily and find it to be a great source of weather info. However, the daytime photo of downtown Madison has a lot of white in it and obscures the dew point and humidity numbers at the bottom of the screen- both numbers that I look at a lot. You could either pick a different photo that is darker at the bottom or put in a gradual shaded area at the bottom of the photo in Photoshop to increase readability. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-04-27, version 5.17.508*

I wish this app worked on CarPlay.

### 2/5 — Where is the dew point.

*2024-06-21, version 5.15.404*

I no longer see the dew point on this app. It used to be in the main report box but it’s now gone. I need that vs the humidity percent.
