Radar inaccurate

Several months ago the radar stopped being accurate. It would be pouring where we were and the radar shows no precipitation anywhere near. It just seems to be getting worse. It is also behind on putting warning boxes up. Not reliable.

Radar/warning

Why have the radar and warning separated??? I want them together so i can actually see the whole picture. It really is not hard for someone to toggle it off if they don‘t want it on, but why ruin it for everyone else? The radar and warnings/watches need to be together. Is it time for a new weather app?

Not accurate

Doesn’t give accurate warnings

New Update is Terrible

Yall done messed the radar and warnings up with these custom maps stuff. Before I could just toggle off whatever I didn’t want. If I didn’t want any other storm watch I could toggle it off and only have warnings. Now I can’t just have tornado warnings. And even I have radar and watches and warnings I can’t see the radar or the map to know where I’m at because the shading is so dark. Anyway bring back the old app, it was better.

Right now we are in the middle of a tornado watch. I downloaded this to my phone just in case my power goes out.it shows me everything but live coverage. So how am I supposed to see if a tornado is coming my way.

You’ll get a code red warning when it’s about to rain in the middle of the night

This app is wonderful but I don’t use it because it’ll wake me up in the middle of the night code red code red it’s about to rain if they would only warn me for tornadoes and that was an option then this would be a wonderful app to use to be warned of tornadoes only because I could care less when it’s about to rain.

New update ruined the radar

This used to be my go-to weather app, but ever sense this new update, I hate using it. And that really sucks because we’re just starting storm season and I’ll need a good radar. It makes you create a radar settings profile or whatever it’s called if you want it to show where the warnings are. Then, it doesn’t default to that the next time you open the radar. And, if someone is in a warned area (like they’re under a tornado watch or something) the opacity of the colors make it really difficult to see the colors of the tornado/severe thunderstorm warnings beneath it. When you go to tone down the opacity of it, it will tone down all of the colors, not just of the watch areas. It really ruins it.

Widgets?

It be great if they had widgets for the Home Screen

Too many ads

Besides all the ads taking up screen space for things like the radar, the controls on the radar used to be smaller and not block so much of the screen. Also I wish I could change the order of the “widgets” to move the radar closer to the top since I use that most.

Best Weather App Anywhere

I downloaded this in Tennessee to be up to date on tornado weather. Home in AZ, noticed it still worked for my area or wherever I travel. It is accurate to the minute. I have shared it with all my friends. Great app!

I’m sorry

I love your app that since you changed it from red to blue I’m legally blind so it’s hard for me to see it. Why called red now you should call blue cause you changed the cutter. It’s very hard to make out. You need to go back to the cutter red where it’s easier to see just one person‘s opinion, but I don’t know why you changed it from red to bluedo better

Spot On Every-time!

Thanks for the free weather alerts, greatly appreciated and very accurate.

Best Weather App

I really love this App. It’s one of the best I’ve used. It is particularly cool as it follows you wherever you go. Great Radar Maps showing current conditions are fast and accurate!

Radar is just wrong

Something broke…radar images aren’t even close.

Insufficient

Forecasts & videos aren't updated often enough; especially the videos for the weekends. I totally rely on the forecasts.

Weather

Thanks for the up to date report on the weather to keep us all safe. We appreciate your app and all that you do for us .

Why I Love Code Red

It comes on early enough for me to have a cup of Jo before getting out the door. Keep up the work. Your Faithful Listener Bro. Bill

Radar data very lagging

Radar/precipitation data is wayyy behind. There are even lightning bolts on the screen and severe thunderstorm warning boxes with no precipitation showing anywhere near them. When I switch to my other weather app it shows the radar precipitation being within that warning area. Not helpful in times of severe weather when you need to know where the storm is.

Best Weather App

I absolutely love this weather app. It’s laid out so well. Everything you need to know about the weather in your area is right at your finger tips. Their “Map” Radar is fantastic!!! You can go to any day and see hour by hour weather. This weather app is by far the best of any out there. Everything you need is right here! Love love love it!
