I really expected more

I just got this app a couple days ago and I am already canceling my free trial. I’m not going to pay monthly for an app that is unreliable. I expected that it would update through the day even if it’s not quite as accurate as a typical weather app. Right now it’s currently showing 100% risk of storm. My Apple weather app says there is 0% chance. Earlier today it did say there was a chance this evening, but does not show one now. I’m glad I did not waste medication on my dog unnecessarily. I had hoped that this would help me plan ahead, but I guess I’m just need to get better about monitoring the weather myself

Response from developer

I’m sorry Dog Thunder gave you information you couldn’t rely on when deciding how to care for your dog. The 100 shown in the app is a storm risk index—not a 100% chance of rain—and active government weather alerts can raise it. I’d like to understand exactly what happened. Please email support@mg.dogthunder.com with your ZIP code, the approximate date and time, and whether All-Day Monitoring was enabled. I’d be happy to give you a free year while we investigate and continue improving the app.

Not a big help.

Somehow I was expecting more from the app. If I want semi accurate information I can watch our local TV station. I’ve done better by checking on the Radar Scope app and keeping track of storm movement.

Response from developer

Thanks for giving Dog Thunder a try, and for the honest feedback. You’re right that Dog Thunder is not a live-radar app, and it won’t replace RadarScope for watching storm movement. I love Carrot for that! I built Dog Thunder for a different problem: getting a heads-up alert several hours before a possible storm, so I can decide whether to start my dog’s vet-prescribed anxiety meds before the storm sets in. By the time I’m watching storms on radar, that prep window is closed and meds won’t help. The free version focuses on potential overnight storms. Pro adds All-Day Monitoring, which checks for forecast changes every two hours. I’m continuing to refine how the app explains what it’s seeing and to give people more control over how and when to send alerts. — Bryan
