### 2/5 — Best weather app

*2026-06-29, version 6.2.512*

After updating the app shows nothing on it for the last 2days.This weather app was the only one I trusted. Please fix.

### 1/5 — Fear mongering

*2026-05-25, version 6.1.601*

Trying to contact somebody from the app to find out what all the red is when barely any rain talk about trying to hype up nothing

### 5/5 — Weather

*2026-05-18, version 6.1.601*

I like and appreciate their weather coverage. It appears to be more in depth

### 2/5 — Missed a Tornado Warning

*2026-03-31, version 6.1.601*

I know NE Ohio doesn’t get a lot of tornadoes, but I was just inside a tornado warning area and got notified by other apps I have, but not this one. Do better…

### 2/5 — Don't like new update

*2026-03-20, version 6.1.601*

Not a fan at all of the new radar. It goes way too fast. Not user-friendly for older eyes. This app used to be my favorite over the others but not anymore. At least give us the option to use the old radar.

### 1/5 — Don’t like format

*2026-02-25, version 6.1.302*

The previous reporting was much better than the current!Tank

### 3/5 — New radar has less options

*2026-01-09, version 6.1.302*

The new radar is pointless. Before we had the option of past and future and now that's been removed. Why remove a feature? Please bring that option back! It's a waste of time to have to flip between past and future. That's what they have on TV and every other weather radar app has, but with the latest update that option has been removed.

### 1/5 — Usually wrong

*2025-09-25, version 5.17.706*

The site is usually wrong with the forecast. If I was wrong at work as much as they are I’d be fired

### 5/5 — Beautiful Morning Weather

*2025-06-17, version 5.17.604*

Sitting on the Back Patio with Our pooch (Buster)

### 1/5 — When you need it, it’s junk

*2025-04-03, version 5.17.604*

There’s a severe storm and I’m trying to figure out my options, all I want is to watch the live weather and all I get are ads and some kind of talk show interview with Dolly Parton which is lovely but I literally need to see live weather working to keep my family safe, thanks for nothing.
