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.

Use to be great

This was a great app years ago. Not sure what happened, but the “what we’re watching” stopped working and no longer do you see Hurrican trajectory. Developer please fix this as this app was literally a life saver.

Slipping…

This app used to be my go to weather app for Florida. Over the past year the tropical weather page has become very buggy and unresponsive. Figured it was just a glitch between updates, but it keeps getting worse to the point that hurricane mapping for storms doesn’t even load.

What a joke!

They only update this thing when it's convenient. Sad use of state funds.

Old

App is rarely updated.

Crashes

Unusable because it crashes before it can even load.

Great program

Best free radar type program I’ve seen. Besides free and no ads, it has worked wherever I’ve traveled: GA, SC, NC, VA, and always shows wx that’s going on around me. I recommend it.

Alerts do not work

Alert feature is broke.

My “go to” weather app living in Florida

Excellent app, and as it is Florida Public Radio, no adds.

This is good for everyday thunderstorms, but ..excellent.. for hurricane season. Overlays show forecast track, warning areas, etc. Easy to access evacuation info, zones and checklist.

All the information you need is here and easy to find. Living through Hurricane Dorian’s approach as a CAT 5, this has been invaluable.

You get what you pay for

This app cost nothing and that’s what it’s worth. Does nothing. Shows nothing.

Fixed

My go to weather app living in Florida!

Once again an excellent app.
Sadly it was unusable on iPad for awhile. Now it works.

This gives excellent information with very good graphics. From afternoon storms, to hurricane tracks, to evacuation information, this app takes care of minor or major weather events. As it is an NPR app, advertising is not a problem.

Wonderful app

Thank you so much for the update on this app.

It takes a while to get used to the new design but once you do it is back to being really useful.

Please keep the bug fixes coming.

Worthless App

Aborts on iPhone 6S. Piece of crap. Now aborts on iPad. Should be debugged before release.

Latest Update - Excellent

Been using this app for a few years. The latest update has made this my go-to for weather radar, current conditions, and forecast. Nicely done and free! Some have reported battery life issue. As with any app, adjust settings. Set your location settings to “while using” instead of “always”. Also turn off background app refresh. This will help battery life as with any app.
Excellent app, I recommend it.

Used to be great

Was great, 5 stars, until the radar stopped playing. I used to use this to see about how fast a storm was moving and in which direction. Now it’s almost useless to me. Please fix!
