User reviews

Good but buggy

Please please please fix the bug that makes the time rewind by 3 hours eveytime you open the app. It’s incredibly annoying and makes the app unusable for quick checks which is inherently the point.

Great but... no longer updates quickly so is less reliable

Overall I have found this app very helpful and fairly accurate. However, currently the app is slow to update and gives the radar that's already happened instead of the current radar or forecast. It used to (usually) be better so please could this be fixed if possible?

Basic and badly designed

Extremely basic and the slider is in the wrong place/doesn’t work correctly, as it’s very easy to swipe out of the app

My go to for satellite

Really good UI and information on satellite - immediately accessible weather information, which I need almost daily.
(I use to used MetOffice, but their latest update doesn’t present any forecast info well)

Home and Dry

In terms of forecasting rain, this is the best and my ‘go to’.
