TERRIBLE!

Don’t waste your $!!! They really should put a refund button so you can get your $ back in the first 15 mins after purchase. Can’t find half the cities! Example..search Dallas…only get Dallas, Ga to choose from. Can’t even search by state!!

Inaccuracy Personified

Current temperatures and wind speeds are ridiculously in accurate. Forecast temperatures are not much better I.e. Shows temperature difference of 35 degrees between two location that are actually within 3 degrees. At this moment shows a temp of 51 for my location while my thermometer shows 39. Looks nice though.

Waste

My City of 2,000 is not listed. Only Found out after I purchased. My city is found on every other weather app.

Piece of crap

Can’t delete locations it has on and won’t allow you to add any locations. I spent money on a app that you can’t do a dam thing with. DONT GET!!!

-Text is too small to read

In addition to the text being excessively small, the app’s forecast differs from the forecast found on the official NOAA website. It’s not off by much, but leaving out the winter weather can make a big difference.

Forecast Graph Has Never Worked

I would give it a 5 if not for this one problem. The graph on the Forecast page has never worked. All the data is jammed up on the right side of the graph rather than displayed across the timeline.

Poor Radar Map

Very low resolution, hard to tell what is going on. Otherwise nice interface/graphics.

Glitchy, unresponsive

I live in Hawaii. I am trying to change the “favorite” location but the app wont allow me to. Every time I delete the built in locations they come back.. And this app has listed my hometown as somewhere called Winnetka?..
I was hoping they’re imaging would allow me to see hawaii but it is limited to the US only.
Don’t bother paying for this app. Just wasted $3 for nothing.

Time

NOAA App does not seem to know about time changes.

Design Failure

This is the worst iPad app I have ever used.

iPad Air 2, iOS 13.1.3.

While it was working, the usability was severely lacking because of poor interface design choices. The navigation methods were unintuitive and the graphics for editing lists became superimposed over other information, making things illegible. It was a mess, then it crashed and the app won’t open at all even after resetting and restarting the iPad. On top of it, this was a paid app - wow.

NOAA may have excellent data, but they need to find a developer who knows what to do with it.

Save your money

I have 8 other weather apps, all of which recognize my favorite locations. This one does not. I don’t care what the weather is in the 10 largest cities.

Useless, largely non-functional, waste of money

If only you could get local weather not just a few zipcodes in each state... if only the radar resolution had some resolution...if only you could delete cities you didn't want to track weather in....if only I hadn't wasted money on this app!!!!

Help

I have down loaded and paid for an weather app. That doesn’t give me weather for where I live. Does that seem strange to you?
I can get weather all over the country that doesn’t help me.
I live in crystal river, Fl yet I can get weather in south Fl. But not in crystal river. I can’t get hourly reports or any reports about the area I live in..
I can’t delete NY Chicago California those just come back.
I can’t even give it a one rating.
I have tried towns within a 30 mile radius and none of them can be found.
Sure would like to be found or my money back. As is this is useless.
Even in hurricanes and tropical storms 60 miles make a big difference in what can happen.

Calendar doesn’t seem correct

The app seems good, but it appears that the day is off by one. I compared what the app shows in its forecast with NOAA’s actual web site.

The Best NOAA Weather for iPAD

I was looking for a good app to condense and present what I think is one of the best weather forecasting centers in the world - the NOAA. Some of the apps I tried leave something to be desired. Some are ugly, bad to worse interfaces, the NOAA website in an app, and a few won’t even present in Landscape mode on the IPAD. This is one IS ACCURATE (as far as the NOAA forecast goes) and IS BEAUTIFUL.

I have an iPad Pro 12.9 I just purchased, so with my new purchases, besides having iPhone apps and old iPad apps, I am looking for more and better apps for what I want. I am a weather weenie. I have many weather apps. This one is quickly becoming my favorite. All the NOAA data is presented in an easy-to-use CUSTOM interface, not just presenting some medieval links or the NOAA website in a WebKit browser type app. NOAA Weather for the iPAD was UI designed! The graphics are pleasing and theme selectable. I like how the weather stations are presented when you start, so I can see how my PA town compares with one of my fav vacation areas in FL or how my weather will be over in OH or somewhere else. I also like how I can easy click on and obtain the forecast discussions, maps and radar which is important for a weenie like me!

Well I don’t mean to write a book and I don’t normally comment on many apps unless they are really good or bad. Look no further if you have an iPad and are interested in an accurate forecast by NOAA and/or want to dig deeper. It is a nice, full presentation and harvest of the NOAA government data - better than the NOAA site for sure. Maybe they should buy it! - NAH they’d for sure screw that up too! ;-) . Great job Dev(s)!!

What happened?

It’s so hard to find a decent weather forecast app. Weather Alert USA was by far the best. Then I stumbled upon this one and it’s ok, but it seems to have been abandoned? Why is it so hard to delete locations and why are the overnight forecasts on the same line as the daytime forecasts?

You're not remove locations

Serious flaw in this application if you cannot delete existing locations. Who cares about New York if you live in California I can't believe they did this on purpose. When it's fixed now update to review

Ok when the iPad is in landscape the delete option is there maybe post that detail somewhere

Awful!

App can't find my centrally located area and lists unknown cities and unidentifiable locales on my so-called home page. Sometimes the temperature appears on my home screen, sometimes not. Never updates unless I open the app. This app needs a lot of bug fixing and updates and I resent having to pay for a non-functioning app. Don't bother until the developer gets it together.

Nonfunctional Iona weather app

This app does not allow you to add locations other than preset ones. Completely nonfunctional for its intended purpose. Do not waste your money on purchasing this app.

Please Fix the Bugs

Most annoying one right now is that you can no longer add a location. Even removing a location and then attempting to add a location fails. (It just says it's been added but it's not.)

Resetting locations back to defaults then seems to put you in a situation where you can't get rid of the default locations to add your own. All the defaults just come back immediately.

This app is seriously broken.
