### 5/5 — Solid app

*2022-11-04, version 1.3.1*

I found this app a few weeks ago when my display’s casting app stopped working. I have used it during my office hours, and it has a nice and clean interface. The rotating images are a nice touch. There are times where the app stops responding, but I have had that issue with other apps on iOS 16. I’m considering subscribing for the radar, but have not tried it yet.

### 3/5 — Buggy

*2021-05-11, version 1.3.1*

Seems very buggy. Radar won’t animate on Chromecast or radar won’t stay on screen

### 5/5 — Like it so far!

*2020-06-26, version 1.1.0*

Just downloaded this app this morning and subscribed to a month of the service. I’m a professional storm chaser and weather spotter, and this seems like a nice dashboard to set up on my home TV. My one suggestion would be to overlay the SPC outlooks onto the map, instead of just having them in the sidebar? Overall though, I like what I see.
