Very good app

The bad: Recently a “future radar” was added. This is often not a good prediction especially near the coastline.
This should have an option to select off which most weather apps have, whether or not it improves. Please give us that option!!!

H the good: For local thunderstorm activity and especially emergency information during hurricane season this is an excellent app. Fast to load with a very clear and understandable radar graphic. It is possible to have weather warnings depicted and alerts sent to your phone. Excellent depiction of the hurricane forecast track.
If I could only had one weather app, it would be this one.

The Best

(My small criticism is that you cannot option off the future radar added to the loop.)

Great weather app

Very pleased with this weather app. It’s great that it shows the lighting and will give you alerts when lighting is within the area that you specify. Radar is clear and easy to read. I also really like the “storm direction “ feature!!

Loss of information???

I loved this app, always where I went for storm info. As of Sept 1, 2022 I can’t get anything???? Just in time for peak hurricane season. Perfect timing 🙄

Awesome little app

Has no ads, made by a university, instant warning notifications, lightning detector, and a bunch of other neat and useful features.
