Please update

This was a good app but it was updated January 2026 and the version here is outdated.

Very useful for upstream weather

For some reason, I don’t have the option in the app to choose non-tstrm wind reports. I see others have the capability and I checked for app update.

Good for weather lovers

Very easy to use
I wish I could report β€˜snow’ alone. As it is the options all include something additional ie frozen rain, graupel & ice pellets πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ asking for snow alone

IPHONE update

App not working after last night’s iPhone update. Cannot enter reports.

No longer works

The app no longer works (iOS 26.2)

Useless to consumers

The app is more or less useless for those who download it. The app only provides a map and twinkling lights to show reports have been submitted in specific geographical areas. However, there is no legend for the map symbols or any explanations of what you’re seeing. It makes sense, though, once you figure out the enduser is not the App Store customer. It’s the scientists who are crowdsourcing this data.

Needs a serious update

This app doesnt work well with the new iphones and is overdue for an update

Doesn’t work

Reports fail constantly.

Not working

Big lagging when choosing type of report. Freezing completely when submitting report.

Great for helping out NWS

Love it.

Citizen Science rain app mPING

Easy, fun and useful. Seems like it could really use more active users.

Great way to help NWS

User reports provide NWS forecasters with badly needed ground truth info. Neat app.

it makes you feel good

It makes you feel good to know you help the national weather services

Map is too dark!

Why is the view reports map so dark?!

Amazing but some flaws

1. I think there should be funnel and wall cloud
2. I think there should be a wind report system, both tornadic and storm wind

Broken

I am no longer able to view submitted reports. πŸ™

Quick and Easy

Much quicker and easier way to submit a report to the NWS than calling their spotter line.

super cool!

Just got this app during a thunderstorm, and it was really fun to report the damage, rain, and hail! it makes it feel even cooler that these reports go out to the nws to make better warnings. i would highly recommend this app to anyone, especially people who love weather.

Thunder/Lightning

It would be nice to be able to report thunderstorms and lightning.

Issue Reporting

There appears to be an issue with β€œReport Types.” When selecting the type, no dropdown menu appears, and the app freezes. Can no longer submit reports.
