I got ripped, don’t fall for it. ### 1/5 — This app doesn’t work period *2022-07-15, version 5.0* Does not work, no radar no nothing just errors. Really impressed. Anybody who wants to PAY extra for this weather app like hurricane, tornado severe thunderstorm alerts don’t do it. Buyer’s beware, go to a different weather app!! this app is a complete scam. And yes I emailed them! Still waiting for a reply. ### 1/5 — Radar doesn’t always display *2022-06-09, version 5.0* When I’ve got radar selected in settings, radar often doesn’t show up on the map. Yes, I emailed support but did not receive a reply. Great when it works but too often doesn’t for me, at least on my iPad. Sorry I bought this. ### 1/5 — App not working *2022-06-08, version 5.0* I enjoyed NOAA Radar Pro for many years. It was a great app. Then it stopped working. Thinking they might have stopped supporting it I purchased NOAA Radar Plus. Neither of these apps are working correctly. Radar Pro loads for a second then kicks me out. Radar Plus just shows an empty map with no Radar data. I’ve tried many work arounds. I’ve e-mailed the support site 4 times… no answer. I held off writing this negative review because I was very happy with Radar Pro in the past… before it stopped working. ### 1/5 — Bad app *2022-06-08, version 5.0* I was charged 1.99 several times to purchase this app and for in app purchases. No radar shows up. I’ve tried to contact for help twice now through their contact us email and have received no help. This is a terrible app. DO NOT BUY IT ### 1/5 — Network connection error constantly *2021-03-01, version 5.0* App looks great and I was excited about this app and even bought some of the addons during the initial purchase. I should have tested some of the options. nothing works. didnt expect to get network connection errors, I obviously have an internet connection. It says last update 7 months ago. All the options say an error occurred during the request. This has made this app completely unusable. Devs please advise. I buy a lot of weather apps. I am a storm spotter. I use these apps to report weather on twitter and facebook and predict occurances of possible tornadoes. ### 5/5 — Texas weather *2020-06-24, version 4.3* I use this app a lot to see what the weather is at our golf course 10 miles from our home. Also using it now on vacation to see beach conditions while on vacation. It seems to be much more accurate than other weather apps. ### 5/5 — Works great, easy to use *2020-03-07, version 4.3* I like the weather depiction and scalable maps. My stored locations make finding forecasts for distant locations easy. Choices on the menu are comprehensive. No crashes, very reliable. ### 5/5 — Storm forecasts *2020-02-07, version 4.3* Love the radar plus feature of getting alerts and being able to see the radar for storm activity. ### 5/5 — Radar is the best *2019-08-22, version 4.3* I have friends who most often have different weather forecasts on their phones than what Radar has but I just smile because I know they are going to be embarrassed with the results. Thanks Radar for the great app. I am using Radar on my iPad but for some reason doses not work on my iPhone 6plus but it is still the best weather app I’ve ever used. ## Frequently asked questions about NOAA Radar Plus ### What does NOAA Radar Plus do?
