### 3/5 — What happened to Storm tracks

*2026-07-09, version 1.7.2*

This was my GoTo app for years. The 30 minute vectors that showed which way a storm was going in the next 30 minutes made it the number one app. No more watching loops over and over while trying to keep one eye on the time stamps just to see how long I had. It hasn’t shown for a while now even tho I have the Storm Track setting enabled. Please fix and restore this app to its deserved position in my tool box.

### 4/5 — Great product but has a noticeable bug

*2026-02-02, version 1.7.2*

My only complaint is that at certain geographic resolutions, radar gets truncated.  It presents a flat side.

### 4/5 — Weather radar app

*2025-07-12, version 1.7.2*

And it is just that.   Radar only. I paid for this but hard to believe it doesn’t have a lightning tracker as well.  As free apps provide this.

### 3/5 — Uses the distorted Mercator Projection map

*2025-06-14, version 1.7.2*

The map used is the inaccurate Mercator Projection map which is a distorted and inaccurate view of the land masses. It is meant to enlarge the land masses in the Northern hemisphere. Alaska is smaller than Mexico, and Greenland is substantially smaller than the size shown. Africa is small on the map, but is much larger. The Petersen’s Projection map is a better map to use.

### 4/5 — Love this app

*2025-04-24, version 1.7.2*

The most detailed weather radar app I have found. Recently it started to lock up a lot. Hoping for a fix.

### 2/5 — Need update

*2025-03-31, version 1.7.2*

I used to looooove this app. For some reason lately it doesn’t function as it once did.  The storm tracker function doesn’t work, the warning boxes don’t update as fast, etc.. just need to go back to original, or update properly

### 2/5 — I want the original version

*2025-01-30, version 1.7.2*

The original version was better than this updated one.

### 1/5 — Might work half the time

*2024-08-14, version 1.7.2*

Waste of money!

### 1/5 — Stopped working properly

*2024-07-21, version 1.7.2*

Over the past month or three I must force quit the app to get it to show the current radar.  Otherwise I only see the map and the word “Updating…” at the top.  This was one of my favorite apps until recently!

### 1/5 — What happened?

*2024-07-18, version 1.7.2*

July 17, 2024  Earlier this week the app stopped showing any weather radar info.  Only items that show up now are the labeled intense weather boxes.

### 1/5 — it makes my phone OVERHEAT

*2024-05-07, version 1.7.2*

i was watching the radar while reading & realized it was not refreshing and i went to pick up the phone and it about burnt my fingers to death. OUCH! 

it was the only app running. phone is up to date and works fine except for this app. i feel my purchase was a ripoff.

### 3/5 — Not bad, nut not good either

*2024-04-19, version 1.7.2*

The DbZ is way exaggerated.  It is raining lightly out right now, but the app shows that it is moderately heavy. Also, the storm cell tracking seems to have completely disappeared even though I have it activated.  But good luck finding anything better

### 1/5 — Constant Frozen Screen

*2024-04-09, version 1.7.2*

The app was WONDERFUL but now it simple states “UPDATING” and it freezes. You can’t even move the screen to different locations on your map because every function is locked.

### 3/5 — Warning boxes

*2024-04-01, version 1.7.2*

Warning boxes such as tornado warning or Severe Thunder storm warning quit showing up.  It has happened on the app on all of our phone.

### 2/5 — Been My Go To Weather App -

*2023-11-28, version 1.7.2*

Add more features (jet stream, detailed fronts) and a app update would be awesome, only been 4+ years since the last update.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Broken

*2026-06-25, version 1.7.2*

No longer receiving echo top data from NWS servers. They need to push an update with the proper connections to the new servers. This reminds me why I stopped paying for apps years ago. I guess this is why it’s free now!

### 1/5 — Does not work half the time.

*2026-06-14, version 1.7.2*

I’m writing this June 2026. I’ve had this app for years and loved it but now it will go for days without updating the weather. I guess it isn’t supported anymore. So only 1 star from 5.

### 1/5 — It doesn’t work anymore.

*2026-06-14, version 1.7.2*

It hasn’t updated in 2 days. No explanation available on the problem or if a resolution is planned. 

Really nice when it works.

### 1/5 — Outdated and barely functional

*2025-11-07, version 1.7.2*

I shouldn’t have listened to the boomer who told me to buy this app. It can hardly show you what the current weather is or what the forecast will actually look like, because it’s glitchy and isn’t getting consistent data. Interface is bland and the settings/different views aren’t really intuitive. Maybe this app was good a decade+ ago but there are way better options now. Don’t spend money on this one.

### 1/5 — Needs revision

*2025-09-02, version 1.7.2*

It’s impossible to take this app seriously when it can’t even spell “Gulf of Mexico” correctly. Disappointing.

### 1/5 — Why isn’t the app being updated?!?

*2025-05-18, version 1.7.2*

This used to be my favorite weather app - I use composite reflectivity with storm tracks… now my app shows that it’s been 24 days since the radar had been updated in my area under those settings so it’s useless to me! Furthermore, upon further investigation it looks like it’s been 5 years since the app was updated? What’s going on? Please fix and i’ll give it 5 stars!

### 1/5 — App not working

*2025-05-03, version 1.7.2*

My data is now 10 days old and the app doesn’t appear to be working anymore. Love the app, but everything I’ve tried hasn’t fixed the issue. I think it’s time to find an app that actually works. Disappointed at the inability to contact the company.

### 1/5 — 5 days old

*2025-04-29, version 1.7.2*

Pulled up this app and the data was at least 5 days old.  Used to be a fan but no longer.  Refreshed.   Nothing.  Updated.  Nothing.

### 1/5 — Idiotic

*2025-03-16, version 1.7.2*

“Gulf of America”?  Really? One example of the National mental illness epidemic

### 1/5 — Always wrong

*2024-09-26, version 1.7.2*

This app is always wrong. Cant trust the meteorologists. Waist of time !!!

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — dependable accuracy, works great!

*2025-12-24, version 1.7.2*

even after 6 years this is still one of the best apps for precise storm radar data

### 5/5 — make it where you can see the velocity

*2025-05-29, version 1.7.2*

It’s very good app and it’s worth the money this is my go to app for everything but one think I don’t like about it is how I can’t see the velocity and see where a tornado is so if you can add this feature it would be amazing

### 5/5 — Great Product

*2025-03-24, version 1.7.2*

The map is excellent. The radar loads immediately. That’s the reason I bought this app. The other apps take ages to load their radar, but not this app!

### 5/5 — My GO-TO Weather App

*2024-10-07, version 1.7.2*

I have used this weather radar app for many years. It helps me avoid driving in heavy rain. Using it, I have become really good at predicting if and when a thunderstorm cell will arrive and will leave, making it easier to have outdoor activities with confidence.

### 5/5 — Favorite radar mosaic app

*2024-05-30, version 1.7.2*

This is my favorite radar mosaic app again, now that they fixed the missing warning boxes.

### 5/5 — Can always count on

*2023-10-03, version 1.7.2*

Very precise and accurate within a couple minutes. Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Light excellent radar app

*2023-09-10, version 1.7.2*

Loved this for years because it will load and run when I’m on the water or in rural areas with weak cell signal. Other weather apps have more bells and whistles but when storms bubble up and you need quick reliable radar this is your best friend. Wonderfully lightweight at 5.2MB. Also shows TS and hurricane tracks, flash flood and storm/tornado watch/warnings.

### 5/5 — The Best

*2023-05-10, version 1.7.2*

I’ve downloaded and tested an absurd amount of weather apps for the radar and this one is hands down the best. Just praying they make an iPhone version for my motorcycle trips.

### 5/5 — Review from Radarman907

*2023-03-31, version 1.7.2*

I’ve used this app for probably over twenty years now. It’s on its fourth iPad. Don’t recall how many cellphones. Missouri has historically been in Tornado Alley, though climate change may be moving that southward. Since I am a Skywarn Weatherspotter, I use the app a lot. It has been a top performer for me.

### 5/5 — Go to weather app

*2022-10-17, version 1.7.2*

Love this app…living in Southern Cal we get rain activity seldom and from different directions. Using this app I can see where the cells are and if they will pass my location and when. Love it!
