User reviews

Terrible layout

The layout of this app is just awful. There's so much wasted space because the developers decided to use only a small amount of the screen to show the weather info.

I don't recommend this app at all.

Awesome App

Go to app for radar clarity/accuracy and solid alerting. 5/5
