Hard to see

I have a hard time seeing the text at times. White text over a light blue background with white clouds. For anyone with a slight visual impairment, this is the dumbest combination the designers could come up with. If you use a light background, DO NOT use a light coloured text. There needs to be a lot more contrast to make it legible for everyone.

Slow down the radar

Have noticed the radar has sped up. You can’t even get a chance to see the detail. I sure you could get a seizure if you watched it too long. Add a feature that allows you to slow down the frame rate on the radar as it virtually useless at getting any Timelapse data

Keeper

I’ve been using the SkyTracker app for a while now and really like the 24 future cast to study the map for upcoming weather.

Needs Repair

The weather statements and weather warnings cause the app to freeze and crash. Overnight it consumed 27% of my battery while it was running in the background. There wasn’t even any active weather going on. Time to delete it.

Map

Does not work

Garbage!!

Radar doesn’t work and causes app to crash. Used this app for years and then starting in June of this year it started crashing every time you use the radar page. Now it sucks. The Weather Channel App is far superior.

Great when it works

I rely on the accurate radar but it has been not working for over a week. How do I let someone know?

Keeps failing

The radar and the 24 hour lapse does not work .. i have to use the clouds and radar together in-order for me to use the app , uninstalled twice , end result is the radar and 24 hour radar fail and crash after 2 days this will be the third time i uninstall then reinstall

Reader fails to work

The current reader does not work. When you tap on it nothing happens and the app closes. Have reinstalled it and it works for a bit the n fails.

Was fantastic, now does not work

Was my go-to app for checking radar, but now it crashes every time. Delete and reinstall it, can watch the radar once, but as soon as you open it again later it will crash again. Please fix it!!!

Daily radar map

In the current version the radar button is not working and choosing it shuts down the app
Ver. 6.1.502

Radar Constantly Glitching

In the last two weeks I’ve had to uninstall and reinstall this app four times as the radar feature stops working.
Having to do it again as I type this message.

Needs fixing

Map does not work properly, whenever I go to the map it automatically kicks me out of the app.

Crashing after 6.1.502 update

After update, radar map crashes. Can this be fixed? (Iphone15)

App keeps crashing

1 star the app needs to be fixed map keeps crashing when trying to use radar please fix this asap it would help a lot

Radar NOT working

Radar stopped working 4 days ago. 24 hour radar works but regular radar does not. Please fix ASAP as the radar is an invaluable tool for me traveling!!!

Trash, radar is always off from other more accurate weather apps

App crashes once you try to use the radar functions.. 👎🏻 deleted, reinstalled, no update available….

Radar not working again!!!

Why is this app not working half the time? The past and future is not working!! But if you pick clouds and radar it will work. WTF??? Fix the APP!!!!! Not happy!! Need the weather!!!

Zero app support…

Everything‘s fine so long as the app works, but if you find it, there’s a problem there’s no way to be able to reach out and contact anyone to let them know that there’s a problem. The app support feature even here within the Apple environment, only redirects you to their News webpage, which also has no contact option for app support.
PS. Trying to run the radar option crashes the app…
