### 1/5 — Come on!

*2024-10-20*

What kind of show are you guys running? You issue a special weather statement and when I tap on it, it sends me to a blank page that displays nothing. Wow that’s very helpful. Thanks!

### 1/5 — Black radar screen

*2020-02-12, version 4.10.2501*

This version contains a black radar screen. Not as pleasant as it’s previous (green) version. Kind of ugly. And the  zoom function is only in black and white. 
     Also, the need to load days of videos to watch just one, is ridiculous. Who wants to see the weather report from three days ago. But this app downloads five videos at once. Making it take forever to see the one short weather report you do want to watch

### 2/5 — You need School Closings

*2017-03-14, version 4.4.603*

I used to use this app thinking it would be everything I need. Unfortunately you guys don't show school closings for Region 16 schools. I now use Storm Team 8. You guys should add that to the app 👍🏻

### 3/5 — Messed up what was once the best weather app

*2026-03-06, version 6.1.601*

I can't believe how badly you have messed up what was once the best weather app around. It is now bad-looking, hard to customize, far from user-friendly. And the radar play is so fast that you can't easily stop it at the current time. Why did you mess with perfection? I'm in mourning and will probably delete this.

### 3/5 — Lately it’s been glitchy

*2023-09-27, version 5.11.502*

This is normally my go to app for my weather info, but it’s extremely glitchy right now. The weather map won’t load most of the time, and the days and temps won’t load either. And when it does load up the info in from 2 to 3 days before. Once the glitch is fix I’ll change my review. I’ll leave it at 3 stars cause normal it’s a great app or else I’d give a lower score fix the glitch I’ll give it more stars.

### 3/5 — Generally Good

*2020-11-23, version 5.1.401*

I like the radar map.  I like the video section, however, being a weather app I would like the videoed to contain the most recent forecast shown on The air.  (It also seems to take some time before the they do show up.)

### 3/5 — Hate it.

*2018-07-05, version 4.6.2101*

Should have left it alone.

### 5/5 — 24 hr radar issue

*2024-09-28, version 5.15.417*

The 24 hr radar scrolls for 24 hrs but the map freezes at 12 hours

### 5/5 — Best radar app

*2020-11-12, version 5.1.400*

During the day, especially when doing yard work it’s a convenient way to see what  type of weather is coming. Great app.

### 5/5 — Must Have!!

*2019-06-18, version 4.8.800*

This App has just gotten to be the best local weather app ever! Love the dark,satellite,light map mode! If you live in the state,and like to monitor the weather DOWNLOAD this app.

### 5/5 — Like it but has a few issues

*2017-12-30, version 4.5.1902*

If you have more than one area say Home, CT and Chicago, IL  the advisory alert for Chicago will say alert for Home, CT on the Chicago screen. If you have more than one city they will all have the alerts scrambled between them, but not for where they actually are. Tricky!
