No feedback button/ blank radar

The information changes several times a day I noticed. Radar is fairly accurate, not exact. However today blank radar. Can’t send photos here. Double commercial ads. And the feedback button was removed long ago. So we can’t report any problems. Huge storm overhead so, I will have to find a competitor to place their app on my iPad

Completely useless

Calls for 85% rain up to an hour prior and then 0%. Happens ALL the time. TRASH

New map/radar is terrible

The old version of the radar was much easier to navigate. This one is difficult to zoom in or out because it moves all over the place. I have given myself some time to adjust to this newer version but it is just terrible. I have used this app in Wisconsin for many years and now in Florida for the past 3, but I will be looking for a new weather/radar app until this is changed.

So sorry you changed this app!
Now it doesn’t show earthquakes from the rest of the world anymore! This has been very important to me!
Oh well, I guess I have to find a new weather app!

Radar and Hourly…

It would be nice if I could count on the hourly weather forecast and the local radar. More often wrong than not. We were supposed to have storms, even rain, for a couple of hours this afternoon but nothing. Even showed the weather coming in on the radar. Can’t count on this, or probably any map or app as they are all run out of NOAA. Great for ruining plans.

Not accurate

Rain & thunderstorms are raging outside my window but this app says nothing is happening. Their radar is not accurate. Do better!

Not accurate

The apps radar used to be 90% accurate. Currently it's not accurate for rain at all. It constantly shows heavy rain at my location and we aren't getting any rain at all. It requires serious fixes.

Good Yet Aggravating

The layout is good, the sections are good. I appreciate that I can watch a replay of the latest weather forecast as well as the tropics forecast and view hurricane spaghetti models on the map. But, it is highly aggravating to be on the homepage scrolling horizontally through the hourly forecast and have it automatically open the hourly page, which runs vertically. When I want to open that page I'll open it myself; please fix this! I want to get this information while I'm on the homepage; if I want detail details I will go to the hourly page. If you would fix this, I'd give you a five star rating.

Something changed🤨

The radar is no longer correctly active it was showing in my area that we were under heavy rain, storm colors in the red yellow, but I’m looking outside and the sun’s out and was out for a few hours plus the app doesn’t do a full 24 in the future anymore, either it stopscould you please update

Hardly ever right

I finally had to get rid of this app standing on a beach getting poured on and the app didnt even show rain in the area and had given a 12% chance of rain before I left. After a year, it was never accurate and I got sick of being caught in storms the app never even forecasted. It can be dangerous to be this inaccurate when forecasting weather in Florida.

Not accurate at all!!

Do not waste your time! For a local app this is horrible!

Inaccurate!

The information use to be very accurate, now it’s inaccurate garbage! The radar likes to freeze half way through and the weather predictions constantly so rain then change last minute the day of. I’m pretty sure who ever runs the app is just lazy with information updates.

Bugs

24hr radar hasn’t worked in months.

App is too sensitive

Lately any time I barely touch a section on the home screen it automatically goes to a whole new page with more details about that section but I don’t want that. Like the hourly horizontal slider, if I click on it it automatically opens a bigger vertical view. This used to be my favorite weather app. But It’s gotten to the point where I’m going to find a different app.

SkyTower update stinks

This was my go to weather app until the latest update. Now if you want to explore HOURLY under the radar it kicks you to another area. If it ain’t broke why do you have to mess with it. Bye bye SkyTower.

Far off in predictions

All weather apps are about worthless. It’s all about data mining. They always show doom and gloom forecasts which back in the day would make me cancel charter trips and had cost me a lot of business. AI couldn’t find its rear end with a roadmap! And now barraged with ads. Gave up on local fox years ago because of lack of content. They should rename themselves foxbook 13 because it’s ALL fluff stories and very little REAL news!!!

Please fix this

The latest update has caused problems with this app which worked perfectly well prior to it. Please fix this. With the latest update, any portion of the app that you touch instantly opens that section of the app, even if you only intended to scroll to some of the other sections below it. This is an aggravating waste of time and makes the app a lot less usefull. Would appreciate if you would fix this. It's always been my favorite weather app until now. Thanks

Generally good

You changed from dew point to relative humidity a while back. RH is useless. Change it back or make it optional.
