Wondering if this was a DOGE cut? ### 3/5 — Used to work…. *2025-05-09, version 1.7.1* Was my go to app for radar but now has stopped working. What happened? ### 2/5 — Used to be a great app *2024-07-23, version 1.7.1* The app no longer works well. Crashes if you try to come back to it after looking at another app. Also does not update like the other noaa apps. It can be behind as much as 40 minutes ### 2/5 — Glitching *2024-06-28, version 1.7.1* I’ve had this app since maybe 2011. Recently, it has been glitching so often and so badly it’s rendered the app useless to me. I rely on the radar and this app has become un-reliable. It’s a shame because for so many years it was so good. ### 5/5 — So easy to use *2024-06-10, version 1.7.1* This app is perfect! It’s so user friendly, and easy to use, and understand! Thanks for making it! ### 1/5 — App has stopped working *2024-05-15, version 1.7.1* Since the latest iPhone update, this app has stopped functioning correctly. The app has to be continually closed and read opened for it to not lock up please fix. This was a great app at one time. ### 5/5 — Dependable *2024-04-25, version 1.7.1* Simple and dependable ### 2/5 — No warning polygons *2024-04-05, version 1.7.1* Why are the warning polygons missing??!! ### 5/5 — Just use it *2023-09-24, version 1.7.1* Always my current weather radar loop. Perfect info n warnings. ### 5/5 — pretty solid app *2023-08-12, version 1.7.1* 👍 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Radar US no longer updating *2025-11-09, version 1.7.1* It’s been down now for over a day and a half. Looks like this app is DONE. SAD TO SEE IT GO. ### 1/5 — MAGA *2025-09-06, version 1.7.1* Lists Gulf of Mexico as Gulf of America. BYE! ### 1/5 — No Longer Working *2025-05-21, version 1.7.1* Last radar update was 28 days ago. What happened NOAA? ### 1/5 — Go to radar app for storm chasing *2024-11-04, version 1.7.1* The simple interface and lightning fast updates make this my go to radar app when chasing tornados. There are more advanced ones out there but I find my self going back to this one time and time again! Update: 4 Nov 24 Sadly, the app doesn’t seem to be supported anymore. The app constantly freezes and crashes and no updates are available. Looks like a possible cash grab and run. ### 1/5 — Outdated *2024-10-25, version 1.7.1* This app used to be so great that I paid for it (years ago). It is no longer updated adequately, and does not work/display anything appropriately. Sad! ### 1/5 — Not working during weather emergency *2024-09-26, version 1.7.1* Have loved this for years. Now with Helene bearing down on where I live, the app is not working. It says “network unavailable or slow. Retrying”. DO BETTER NOAA! ### 1/5 — Paid for app *2024-07-24, version 1.7.1* App function has been poor or non existent as of 7/24/24 paid for an app service that I am not receiving. Have been using it since inception. For over 14years! ### 1/5 — Simple yes accurate NO *2024-07-17, version 1.7.1* Says clear out it’s pouring rain but doesn’t show that ### 1/5 — Paid App has become very buggy *2024-07-08, version 1.7.1* Doesnt update, freezes, crashes. Look elsewhere ### 1/5 — App freezing on startup *2024-05-30, version 1.7.1* Has just recently started freezing on startup. It has to be exited by swiping the app closed, and then will work for a while until it freezes again. I see a spinning symbol at the top of the screen as if its trying to retrieve data from the network but never completes. Has been a simple but useful app which suffers from a lack of features that so many other apps have now. Freezing on startup now makes me looking for other apps. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — “The” go to weather App *2025-11-20, version 1.7.1* Sincerely the best for predicting and timely manner about upcoming events period. ### 5/5 — The best *2025-11-12, version 1.7.1* The first app I loaded on my iPhone over a decade ago. Still use it everyday. My morning exercise or planning a trip I always know what’s in store for me. The details on this are the best Un update would be great, litttle crashing going on but I’m not giving it up. I’ve been looking for another map and it’s just not out there. Please please do an update. It’s crashing and I can barely open it. I’m always gonna say the best radar app out there!! ### 5/5 — Go to weather app *2025-07-19, version 1.7.1* Great weather app. Forecasts are accurate and I like the multiple radar modes available. ### 5/5 — June 2025 *2025-06-09, version 1.7.1* I am glad I came here and read some other reviews that said that you needed to delete & reinstall the app to get it working. I was preparing to have a tearful goodbye ceremony as it is my favorite Radar App. Glad to have it working again. ### 5/5 — Works Great *2025-05-30, version 1.7.1* I’ve been using this app for a very long time. It had stopped working sometime in April 2025. I found out you needed to delete the app and reinstall, it works fine now. ### 5/5 — The best *2024-08-17* The first app I loaded on my iPhone over a decade ago. Still use it everyday.
