So I’m removing the app and just use another that WILL. In short your excessive heat warnings are EXCESSIVELY EXCESSIVE with an EXCESSIVE index of EXCESSIVELY MORE EXCESSIVE. ### 2/5 — Locations *2020-04-30* Why can’t locations be deleted??? I add a location when I travel and then want to delete when I get back from a trip - don’t want to use location services - so now so I have all these different locations that I don’t need and cannot remove 😡 ### 4/5 — Great app *2019-08-29* Love the app! I use it before other weather apps I have. The radar loads a little slow but no slower than on other apps. ### 2/5 — New update *2019-06-28* Mine doesn’t work at all I keep deleting the app and then re-downloading it, and it still don’t work right. And my weather map won’t even open. :( ### 2/5 — What!? *2018-10-24* I’m getting frost warnings when it’s 75 degrees out! Since the update things are not as they should be. ### 2/5 — Lightning, storm info *2018-09-26* I was in a thunderstorm tonight. Lightning was striking close to me. The latest lightning alert was sent over 2 hours beforehand. From 15 miles away. I’m getting rid of this app. ### 3/5 — Great app *2018-08-20* Very accurate and reliable, just wish it was compatible with the iPhone X screen size ### 3/5 — The new update is too clunky. *2017-08-15* I loved the app before the update. Now the radar map is too slow, the new layout is confusing, and everything just seems sort of compressed. The app used to be very accessible and streamlined, but now it takes me a few tries to find what im looking for. And did I mention the radar is waaaay too slow? It takes ten years to load, and then when it does, the radar moves too slow to track storms effectively. Please fix this! ### 4/5 — New UI needs some work *2017-07-25* Locations that I had set up are gone :( Also, why can't I delete locations any more? Home page seems useless, why not land on currents / forecast and save users an extra click? ### 2/5 — New version *2017-07-15, version 3.16.1* The new version of Saf-t-Net does not show a larger version of individual state shapes. I want the state shape to include names of cities within the state like before and my favorite locations will show specific places where my friends and family live around those cities. If it is just me not knowing how to program that to show, I would like to know how. Misc options does not have "show favorite locations" like before. I don't see usefulness in present update. When I am looking at the track of a storm, I use to be able to see identifying locations in relations Tommy favorites and understand where the storm is. Please change back to previous version or update this one with that ability. If I am not making sense, I'm sorry. Thank You. ### 3/5 — Latest update *2017-07-11, version 3.16.1* I like what was done with the latest update, except the function of the radar in motion seems to not be working. ### 4/5 — Great Radar *2017-07-07, version 3.15.0* I like this app for all my weather alerts! ### 3/5 — Great for iPhone not iPad *2017-02-11, version 3.15.0* Easy to use,accurate. Great app for iPhone but doesn't work well w iPad ### 2/5 — Fix Alert preferences *2016-03-31, version 3.8.0* Would be a great app but the alert preferences cannot be changed at the moment. There's no way to save your alert preferences so you get any and all alerts....wanted or unwanted. Annoying! FIX ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bring back the old hourly forecast UI *2022-07-30* I am not a fan of the table layout for the hourly outlook in this latest release. Bring back the old UI. It was much better and easier to visialize ### 1/5 — Does not work well on iphone *2022-02-11* This app does not reflect what the current and forecasts in temperature as it’s stays hung up on 29 degrees and never changes. I have another weather app that shows its 36 degrees and this one shows 29 degrees from same area. Makes it kind of difficult to know if the weather forecast is accurate and if it can be trusted during severe weather. ### 1/5 — Not so good *2021-03-18* Friend highly recommended, however my version does not seem to work as well as his. Cannot delete locations, not impressed with menu options, not what I was hoping it would be ### 1/5 — Nope *2020-04-13* This used to be a decent app, but they ruined it. If you download this app, you will get redundant alerts for things that you told it you didn’t even want to be alerted about. This is only useful if you like to be woken up every few hours because there is a little thunder 15 miles away. The one time I was under a tornado warning (the only alert I set it up for) it didn’t even provide the alert until 10 minutes after the warning was over. Horrible worthless app. Danger to public safety. ### 1/5 — App *2020-02-02* I love the app but since update it will not open up any more. Is there something I can do to make it open? ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with new iPhone *2018-10-16* Used to be my go-to app. I’m so disappointed that the radar loop doesn’t work on the iPhone X. ### 1/5 — Was great now barely works *2018-10-11* Idk what they’ve done but it doesn’t work anymore. Radar doesn’t playback like it did and no alerts work. Deleting. ### 1/5 — Too bad *2017-09-14* The app was great until the updated the radar and map. Went to a satellite type view. It is hard to tell where roads or even state lines are now. Loads slow too. Used to be my go-to weather app. Not now. ### 1/5 — Crashes when opening *2014-11-21, version 3.2.0* App opened once, seemed stable, never worked again, deleted and reloaded, nothing, not sure if I can rely on this app for safety ### 1/5 — Way too long to load! *2014-10-14, version 2.0.20140905* I opened this app and waited 5 minutes for the forecast to load... and finally just gave up! I doubt I'll keep this app and wish I could give it zero stars! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — A must have for severe weather *2022-11-29* This app is accurate nearly down to seconds. I turned on local and hyper local alerts and I receive notifications of incoming severe weather that are ridiculously accurate. 5/5 stars 10x over ### 5/5 — Great update *2022-05-14* Love the new data that is provided and the ability to swipe through all of the pages, plus oft keeps it on the same screen if you change locations. Only thing it needs is a dark mode. ### 5/5 — Safetynet *2017-04-10, version 3.15.0* I figured everything out. It works very well though. However, I had to get a little bit of help to set it up. It needs to be a little more accessible. It alerts me way ahead of time. Thanks for keeping me safe. ### 5/5 — Excellent! *2016-11-29, version 3.8.0* Love this app. I can set what warnings I'm interested in - no longer have to receive hurricane warnings when I'm no where near the coast! ### 5/5 — Thoroughly impressed *2016-06-24, version 3.8.0* This app is fast and accurate. The Lightning alert is eery - the alert seems to come as you are seeing or before you see the Lightning and hear the thunder. It's as good as EMA services and app through the county ### 5/5 — Simply the Best! *2016-03-31, version 3.8.0* I have several cities that I watch and they're all set as locations withing Saf-T-Net. The minute any one of them has any kind of storm notice issued and/or lightning is detected I get a notice on my iPhone. No other apps are quite as responsive it seems because I've tried MANY weather apps. This one is different and I like it the best. I would like to be able to SMS or MMS some of the notices I see to a iPhone contact but it won't put the NWS wording into a message. It still deserves 5 stars because of its ultra-rapid notifications. Try it and you will be DELIGHTED. I would purchase this app if it ever offers the option; it is currently free. Baron is "ahead of the pack!" ### 5/5 — Accurate and fast *2015-12-23, version 3.8.0* How good is this app? Well, I'm currently in St. Louis and it just notified me that "Lightening has been reported in your area." The amazing part is -- I got the chime for the alert, and THEN I HEARD THE THUNDER. ### 5/5 — Great app *2015-12-23, version 3.8.0* I love it. Helps out a lot! ### 5/5 — Great app *2015-08-23, version 3.8.0* Never had a problem with it . And I use it a lot ### 5/5 — Always works for me *2014-09-12, version 2.0.20140905* I have an iPhone 5s and 4s and I have had this app for at least a year and never hear a problem. Maps load quick and are very detailed. Love getting the special weather updates from address that mean the most ( I.e. Work, school, parents ) highly recommend ! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
