### 1/5 — Detour 6707

*2026-07-04, version 5.15.411*

This wx source is useless!!  What I need is easy access to a radar screen that enables me to find and track t-storms, showers, precip and loca wx in general.  Where the hxxx is it??  And your wanna be Sunday nite clown needs to be replaced also.  Good luck.

### 4/5 — A 1-stop weather shop ~~

*2022-03-20, version 5.5.400*

Ez to use — good graphics — fairly comprehensive — up to date info! 👍🌈

### 5/5 — App eval

*2021-03-16, version 5.2.302*

Great to have david give me the latest weather. Always rely on his expertise

### 2/5 — ANNOYING

*2018-10-25, version 4.7.301*

This used to be a useful app. Lately the little bald meteorologist found it necessary to comment on every aspect of life. GO HOME. You may not have a family, but go have a life!  We do not need your sad reviews of the weather. And, you don’t control it, sorry. Let me keep this app. Stop it!

### 2/5 — Slow app

*2018-05-04, version 4.6.1400*

It was great for the first few years, but with the new updates it take 15-20 seconds just to load.  If they fixed that everything else is good.

### 2/5 — No Go

*2017-12-20, version 4.5.1800*

Everything is a bit small. One thing that will always be a no go with me is if it comes with advertising. As soon as I see any type of advertisement I immediately delete it. Is there anyway (even if it costs money) to get the app with no advertising?

### 1/5 — Newer version CRASHES

*2012-10-24, version 2.3*

Loved the app when I had it a couple years ago.  Now since the updates, and the fact that they went away from The Google map, IT CRASHES CONSTANTLY!!!! 

FIX THIS PLZ!!!!!

### 4/5 — Master

*2011-04-19, version 1.6*

Great app use it all the time.

### 5/5 — Skyview Forcast Mobile

*2011-03-30, version 1.6*

This app is excellent!  Easy to use, simple, and high quality radar. Great for cross country trips on motorcycle!
