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. ### 2/5 — -Text is too small to read *2020-12-30, version 5.17.292* 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. ### 4/5 — Forecast Graph Has Never Worked *2020-10-28, version 5.17.292* 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. ### 3/5 — Poor Radar Map *2020-08-18, version 5.17.292* Very low resolution, hard to tell what is going on. Otherwise nice interface/graphics. ### 4/5 — Time *2019-11-08, version 5.17.292* NOAA App does not seem to know about time changes. ### 3/5 — Calendar doesn’t seem correct *2018-06-01, version 5.17.292* 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. ### 3/5 — What happened? *2017-11-21, version 5.17.292* 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? ### 2/5 — Please Fix the Bugs *2016-10-05, version 5.17.292* 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. ### 3/5 — Get the Forecast Discussion working *2016-04-07, version 5.17.292* Why list the forecast discussion on a button but when it is accessed, nothing is displayed? Get it working please... ### 2/5 — No edit button or support *2016-03-09, version 5.17.292* Overall I like this app, however, I have no edit button on the paid app & email messages to support just bounce back. Not a happy camper. Since there doesn't appear to be support, can any other users help? ### 2/5 — NOAA should be accurate but not *2015-12-15, version 5.17.292* Weather is generally accurate but moon phases are totally wrong and I keep getting notifications about Eastport (wherever that is) even though I turn off notifications in settings. Essentially doesn't work right. ### 2/5 — NOT the NOAA forecast! *2015-10-03, version 5.17.292* Obviously is NOT the official NOAA forecast. Additionally, you can't see the the whole forecast text. I have this on an iPad, and the forecast text fades away, and you can't scroll or swipe to see the rest of it, which is usually the night portion of the forecast. Super annoying. ### 3/5 — So it's NOAA, it's got to be good, right? *2015-07-06, version 5.17.292* I've had several weather apps but I figured I'd get the ultimate NOAA APP. This could be 5* , graphics are great but (1) Forecast text is incomplete (2) Does not maintain real time temps, several hours delay (3) The radar map may take you to a different location than the one you want, I live in Florida and kept getting Caribou, ME! (4) Interactive maps, can't read the legends at the top of the map unless you pull the map down and as soon as you release it, it snaps back to the top. I'll keep it but hope for the fixes. ### 1/5 — Very disappointing, do not buy *2015-05-31, version 5.17.292* I bought this upgrade a year or so ago. I gave always disliked that you cannot read the entire forecast. No scrolling. But now, I cannot add locations. It tells me I gave added them, but they do not appear on my choices. But worst of all is that right now it shows Snow and blustery conditions in Minneapolis! It is 60 and sunny. I opened the free app, at least I get all locations, but it is still snowing in Minneapolis. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — TERRIBLE! *2022-06-15, version 5.17.292* 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!! ### 1/5 — Waste *2021-05-12, version 5.17.292* My City of 2,000 is not listed. Only Found out after I purchased. My city is found on every other weather app. ### 1/5 — Piece of crap *2021-01-24, version 5.17.292* 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!!! ### 1/5 — Glitchy, unresponsive *2020-07-04, version 5.17.292* 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. ### 1/5 — Design Failure *2019-10-27, version 5.17.292* 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. ### 1/5 — Save your money *2019-10-25, version 5.17.292* 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. ### 1/5 — Useless, largely non-functional, waste of money *2019-02-16, version 5.17.292* 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!!!! ### 1/5 — Help *2018-10-08, version 5.17.292* 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. ### 1/5 — Awful! *2017-01-09, version 5.17.292* 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. ### 1/5 — Nonfunctional Iona weather app *2016-10-16, version 5.17.292* 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. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The Best NOAA Weather for iPAD *2018-03-09, version 5.17.292* 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)!! ### 5/5 — You're not remove locations *2017-07-24, version 5.17.292* 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 ### 5/5 — Great information *2015-10-29, version 5.17.292* Very good weather radar. Multiple sites and good forecasts. ### 5/5 — Love! *2015-07-01, version 5.17.292* I check my weather- So Cal, my brothers No Cal, my sister's Tenn! And they are ALWAYS 99.9%!!! Love❤️❤️❤️! ### 5/5 — Great app *2015-06-03, version 5.17.292* Built for IPad and very functional ### 5/5 — NOAA Weather *2015-05-31, version 5.17.292* User interface very friendly. Provides detailed and accurate weather. ### 5/5 — Best Possible Weather App *2015-05-19, version 5.17.292* Consider the source. ALL other weather apps start at NOAA. Why not interpret directly? ### 5/5 — Accurate Weather *2015-05-11, version 5.17.292* Very accurate and reliable. I use it everyday. Love the ability to add many different locations . ### 5/5 — Great Multi-Location Results *2015-05-10, version 5.17.292* Unlike most other weather apps, this gives two (of many) features I need: instant weather comparisons of multiple locations; and provides 'apparent temp' and 'feels like' data to make useful judgments regarding comfort level at each location. ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2015-05-01, version 5.17.292* They fixed the crash problem. Also it has stopped giving outdated weather. Outstanding! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
