Ŵhat all the about links

### 4/5 — Bugy and request a new design

*2024-12-06*

Hi 
I just downloaded this app and it’s crashing.
I think it’s time for new layout for your app.
Instead of links to weațheř pages.
Can you put a toolbar on bottom of the app so make it easier to negative better please .
Thank you
Patrick O’Came

### 5/5 — Americas

*2024-11-07*

Thank you for putting AMERICAS back on the satellite imagery.  This is by far the best weather app on the market.

### 5/5 — Very Helpful

*2023-08-09*

The content helps my family prepare for storms  when it needs to happen.

### 5/5 — Makes you enjoy meteorological science

*2021-03-01*

Quite informative instructive and fun to use

### 2/5 — Unreliable

*2020-07-26*

My area shows “content unavailable” even while we’re under a hurricane warning.

### 5/5 — Not easy to use

*2019-02-15*

Please make a “favourites” section so we can find our maps easier please

### 1/5 — Sadly, an app I can no longer use

*2018-11-30*

This app worked great with smart invert colors. For someone with a visual impairment, like myself, it was a great app. Unfortunately, the latest update has the app no longer working with smart invert colors. The dark mode that was added is no where close to smart invert colors.

### 5/5 — You can forget what your local tv says;

*2018-10-05*

The weather animations and cloud cover along with front movements are just about all you need to see what the weather will be the next few hours or days or up to a week. Weather is an interesting science and with these weather maps, you will soon learn to read a weather depiction chart and be your own forecaster.

### 5/5 — Ads continue in NOAA Now Pro

*2018-09-13*

Two days ago I upgraded to pro to eliminate ads. The ads continue anyway. The full screen pop-up are particularly annoying. Please refund the upgrade charge.

Edit:  Turns out the in-app upgrade installed a totally new app in addition to the original free one, which was not within my folder containing weather apps. I had no way of initially knowing this. I stand corrected. The NOAA Now Pro does NOT contain ads.
