### 2/5 — ((7-4-26 very slow downloading))

*2026-07-05, version 1.52*

Excellent Satviews BUT SUBSCRIPTION ADDED AND REQUIRED A HIGHER IOS LEVEL THAN I CAN ACHIEVE.   
My OLD REVIEW:
NINETEEN sat-views to choose from. You select the closest station and set your own favorites. Not a subscription! Love it. I’ve used for years. However…All of a sudden iOS 16 is “REQUIRED”. Had to reinstall to see if white screen with no image would resolve. It did. I can’t go up in iOS. Will just do without it if they pull this version. I was taught if it ain’t broken don’t fix it. So why does apple ALLOW DEVS to drop versions with no backwards compatibility unless they don’t actually care about users. DEVS SHOULD CARE FIRST/FOREMOST ABOUT ㋛

### 2/5 — Does not show city selected.

*2022-05-09*

I choose Chicago and I get the state of Illinois over to Michigan and Ohio?? Why?? I installed uninstalled several times and still get the same thing.

### 2/5 — Looks good but too many crashes

*2018-03-21*

Great tool... when it works. Instantly crashes when trying to view more than one location. The updated sat views are nice, but i prefer an app that works over one w nice features that is aggravating as hell when trying to use.

### 2/5 — Is interesting

*2016-05-01*

I've been looking for an app that displays clouds on earth live like the normal radar that everyone sees. I wana be able to watch cloud formations instead of the condensation in the clouds. Pictures are a bit misleading.

### 4/5 — Works well for what it is

*2014-09-20*

Does what I expect it to. I was glad to see an update to this after it was broken for quite some time. Looping would be nice, but otherwise it works.

### 1/5 — Do not update if you have ios 6

*2014-01-27, version 1.8*

Cloud map crashes the instant it's pressed

### 2/5 — Cloudmap crash

*2014-01-13*

Worked fine for a long time but with the newest update it crashes immediately. I'm using OS 5.1.1 on original IPad. It's great before they messed with it.

### 4/5 — Big improvement

*2014-01-09*

The stability problems seem to have been solved.  So this app now does what the title implies — show the cloud cover in your location, plus favorites of your choice from a fairly sizable location list.

The one thing withholding that 5th star is the startlingly dissonant banner ads across the bottom that don’t play nicely with the B&W of the satellite view.  I would gladly pay a $ or 2 as an IAU to get rid of these annoying things.

### 1/5 — Don't get it waste of time

*2013-09-09, version 1.6*

Trust me not the best app it may look good but it's not.

### 4/5 — Simple

*2013-07-03*

Don't expect a lot of bells and whistles. It does exactly what it advertises and nothing else. Hey, it's a "freebie"! It shows the cloud layer in the areas indicated.

### 1/5 — Crash, crash crash!!!

*2012-11-12*

All the time when I press the settings but and no maps at all! 

I can't use the app, is not working!

iPhone 4, iOs 6

### 1/5 — Didn’t mention only US is covered

*2026-08-04*

Could have said that mate also it’s slow and not that clear

### 1/5 — VERY slow downloading images or no response

*2026-07-15*

Before 7/4/26 <Excellent Sat-views BUT NOW $UBSCRIPTION$ ADDED AND REQUIRED A HIGHER IOS LEVEL THAN I CAN ACHIEVE. 
I’ve used for years. However…All of a sudden iOS 16 is “REQUIRED”. DEVS to drop versions with no backwards compatibility proves they don’t actually need or care about users. DEVS SHOULD CARE FIRST HANDsdown

### 1/5 — Encourager-Al

*2026-07-04*

For about 2 weeks now this app is not working when I bring up a site the gear starts turning but nothing else happens I have paid for this app it was excellent but not anymore and I don’t know how to fix it or contact the team that works on this app

### 1/5 — horrible don't waste your time

*2024-05-05, version 2.3*

horrible don't waste your time

### 1/5 — Crappy App

*2023-11-11*

Don’t waste your time, and certainly don’t pay $3.99 to upgrade to the pro version.  This app does NOTHING! Totally worthless.

### 1/5 — No U.K. coverage. Therefore rubbish.

*2021-07-18*

No U.K. coverage. Therefore rubbish.

### 1/5 — No watch map

*2020-01-14, version 1.46*

Don’t work

### 1/5 — Nothing outside the US

*2019-01-07*

I don't understand this app being in the Canadian app store. The developer is only including satellite images for the United States, even after I upgraded to pro for $4. 
Aside from having no relevant information, the app is super clunky, slow to respond and overall not very pleasant to use.
I wish I could get my money back. Stay away from this one.

### 1/5 — Images look awful on iPad Pro.

*2018-06-24, version 1.34*

Images are pixelated terribly on iPad Pro 2.

### 1/5 — Cloud map

*2018-01-23*

This was a pretty good app until it suddenly stopped downloading new data from GOES E on January 8, 2018.  The developer does not respond to queries regarding the problem.

### 5/5 — Crashes

*2023-10-27*

Lovely app, however after the last update it no longer opens :(

### 5/5 — Stopped working on IOS 17

*2023-10-27*

Longer opens - great app - please address

### 5/5 — Stopped working on my iPhone. Used it for years with great results.

*2023-10-25*

Please fix.

### 5/5 — Excellent Satviews

*2023-01-08*

NINETEEN sat-views to choose from.  You select the closest station and set your own favorites. Not a subscription! Love it.

### 5/5 — Looks Fantastic!

*2020-03-09*

Love the new update! This app is an essential tool for my weather needs.

### 5/5 — Daily cloud map

*2016-04-23*

I use this app daily to put weather reports in perspective and just see an astronaut's eye view of my place on earth.  The beautiful cloud patterns are a treat, and the app is easy to set to your own preferences.  No adds and extra views well worth the pro price to me.

### 5/5 — Does as advertised

*2014-03-12*

Just as advertised. Would be nice if you could add looping capability. Thanks

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2011-04-25*

This is a great app! It's simple, but it does exactly what it says it does. I'm a person who is constantly concerned about the weather, so this is perfect for me. It's a great use of a resource that not everyone knows about. Thumbs up! 

### 4/5 — Thanks for update - GOES EAST Beta Works Great

*2018-03-24, version 1.32*
