Not very good

Very glitchy and clunky. The screen is so filled up with junk it’s hard to see the forecast or the radar.

No Widget still??…

App is good but needs to add a Homescreen widget option.

Map Update

Hate it - you can’t watch the past and future radar together anymore. Thats the only way to watch the radar together understand the path of a storm. Channel 8 didn’t screw up their radar map.

It’s 2025 can you please just get the radar to work

Don’t even live in the QC!

I haven’t lived in the QC in like 6 or 7yrs, but I still love this app! I just don’t like that the radar always cuts off right around the USVI.
