### 1/5 — Could this app be any worse?

*2026-07-22, version 1.26*

Worst weather app I’ve ever seen

### 5/5 — Relevant

*2026-06-24, version 1.25*

Great app

### 2/5 — Not free

*2026-05-19, version 1.25*

Looks like a great weather app but asks for payment for some of the basic things you get on other apps.

### 5/5 — Great weather app.

*2026-03-15, version 1.24*

This is by far the most trusted weather app I use every day.

### 2/5 — Kinda ok

*2026-03-13, version 1.24*

Clumsy layout
Too busy 
Wish it had a quick go-to for my area

### 5/5 — My go-to weather app

*2026-01-27, version 1.24*

Simple format, straight-to-the-point, and the free version is ad-free! If the NWS is up, this app is up - but easier to see what's in store. Been using it for quite a while and am sticking with it.

### 5/5 — Very informative

*2026-01-26, version 1.24*

My son told me that this was his go-to weather website. Now it’s mine.

### 5/5 — NOAA Still is Best

*2026-01-25, version 1.24*

The Forecast Discussion is still the best source of forecast information around.

### 1/5 — Goofed up my phone

*2026-01-22, version 1.24*

This app caused my location services to no longer function.

### 5/5 — Clear, concise, and reliable

*2026-01-01, version 1.23*

I use a lot of the “free” weather apps to track snowy weather.  The format of this one suits me best for short term and I find it quite accurate in the overall scheme of things.
