Most detailed and best at explaining the weather

Nick is a top notch meteorologist. He gives his all with giving the weather details. Makes it easy to understand for everyone. Keep up the great work sir.

Best weather app out there

Very reliable and well put together.

Best Weather App

This is literally the best free weather app out there! I’ve been using it since it first released, and it’s always my first stop when gathering information about the latest severe weather forecasts.

Great app! Recommend to everyone!

Yes, I have the weather app that came with my phone plus weather apps from the two local tv stations, but this is my go to in severe weather. Nick was at our local station before he started his website and then expanded to this app. I love that the app loads quickly and gives me almost instant access to what’s happening where I am and at home if I’m traveling. You can get “just the facts” or a detailed scientific explanation of what’s happening and what to expect. We lose our satellite service quite often due to just heavy rain, so it’s good to know that Nick and his team are just a click away on my phone.

The best weather app out there!

If you’re looking for fear/hype forecasting, this isn’t for you. But if you want a sensible approach to the forecast and occasionally getting into the science of why, this is what you’re looking for. Great job Nick and crew!
