Not free bait and switch

Not free

Scammed

Offered 3-day trial and no payments today. I have the screenshot. It still charged me.

Are you serious?

When it said “in App purchases” I had no idea that you had to pay to use it after 3 days of free trial. This way too high. I will be deleting the APP.

$10 a week is the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen

Do not download

Worst app ever

You can’t close advertisements

rip off and terrible app

DO NOT DOWNLOAD!!! This app is not only horrible to use - does not update radar properly and lags, but also charges you $6 a week to be used. Ridiculous! There was no communication at the cost and it’s been scamming me for three months!

Trial trap then ad

First time opened the app and it shows me a trial trap screen with no indication that it can be skipped. Found a tiny x in corner just to be faced with a full-screen ad. This developer behavior needs to stop. If you want the app to be paid, mark it as paid in app-store..

Sneaky

Not free at all. 9.99 a week? Please

iPad in landscape mode

My iPad sits on my desk in its case in landscape mode. They want 312$ a year for an app that can’t do landscape……no no no

Garbage

Downloaded, asked to not track, general location, dead end. Probably needed to have it track for it to proceed. In any case immediately deleted. Deceptive association with “NOAA”. Many other apps out there that are free and actually work.

Good Radar

This is a very good radar because I can be updated for severe weather warnings watches and advisories in effect for my area

Long running ads

Some ads are understandable for free version. These ads are ridiculously long. Better weather apps out there.

Ridiculous price

$311 a year to have a forecast. You only get to see current conditions.
There's plenty of other apps that do not charge for something as simple as a forecast, use one of those.

Expensive for basic features

I downloaded this weather app to track severe weather in my area & upcoming weather- come to find out it wants you to pay $6 a week for weather forecasts. Someone did the math comes out to over $300 a year?! Absolutely ridiculous especially giving all the other negative reviews saying that it doesn’t even work properly!
Bottom line is, its almost gross to make people pay for a feature on your app that could save lives. You have to pay for hurricane tracking? For tornado tracking?! Ill just get on my local groups & news crew. Gouging people off of natural disasters and happenings is what that is.

Paywall

Life saving information should never be behind a paywall. Luckily after being disappointed by this app I remembered that my local weather station has an app with a free radar, so don’t waste your time and just download your local stations app instead, because most radar apps on here just want to make a profit.

Excellent

Not Free

Requires payment after trial period.

Charged for free trial

The app itself is good, but I was charged $12 for the 3 day free trial. I don’t even know how it figured $12, it seems like maybe that’s the cost for two weeks? I was supposed to get 3 days free followed by $5.99/week. But I was charged $12 immediately upon agreeing to the free trial. I like the app but it’s frustrating I’m having to deal with this random charge.

Disappointed

I downloaded this app because I felt like it would be a really solid weather tracker given that it’s coming from NOAA. It’s pricey… 5.99/week which comes out to over $300/year. You would think something that cost this much would work seamlessly. Sadly, the radar doesn’t work. It doesn’t show anything. I wanted it to track snowfall in a given area. But it doesn’t seem to do that either. Maybe I am missing where this information is in the app. Too bad. I still do support NOAA though. It’s a solid organization that just needs a better app designers.

NEXT!

Not much to say about this app since there is not much to experience because I guess you have to pay for the experience. For the radar, you can only see in the past hours, no future. You can’t see more status of weather conditions. It’s really a pointless app. It’s just a money grab
