### 3/5 — Not as good as the android app

*2022-04-09, version 4.13.228*

I had the same app on android and it was free instead of being nearly 3 dollars also on the android that would allow me to scroll through the forecast looking at the days of the week for five or six days making it easy to plan. 

On this one it has tiny little dots that are difficult to read making it extremely difficult to view anything other than the current Day. This is right now the only thing that I dislike about my new iPhone the way that this app renders.

### 3/5 — Frustrated!

*2021-03-07, version 4.13.228*

The good:
- The meteorological information is amazingly complete, from the current conditions to the radar to the forecast.
- The graphics are attractive, and easy to understand.

The bad:
- I keep my iPad in landscape mode, and all of my apps work in that orientation — except this one, which only operates in portrait mode. It’s a pain because I normally use my iPad clamped in a stand. Before reading the forecast I have to unclamp it — or try to read sideways.

### 3/5 — Great data. Frustrating navigation.

*2019-09-08, version 4.13.228*

First the good news:
- displays well-designed
- data is current and useful 

Now the bad news:
- intrusive tutorials
- locations stuck after modified 
- navigation is awkward
- UI needs serious work. 

If you need real NOAA data are forecasts, this is the app to buy. But be ready for frustration as you adapt to developer choices and app shortcomings.

### 3/5 — Would like additional info

*2017-02-23, version 4.13.228*

Easy to navigate and like the detailed weather discussion. Would like to see convective outlooks with probabilistic features.  Also, some aviation weather would be nice.

### 3/5 — Review

*2017-01-02, version 4.13.228*

App is professional in reporting but radar is not selectable and does not default to the local radar. Local radar for Bay Saint Louis, MS is not Mobile, AL, it is New Orleans, LA but there is no function to change it.

### 2/5 — Going backwards

*2015-07-07, version 4.13.228*

App doesn't seem to wok in landscape mode (not that I can find).  I'll continue to use the free version.

### 2/5 — NOAA WEATHER APP/RADAR

*2015-05-04, version 4.13.228*

Good app but it's 10 pm at night where I am but the noaa weather icon is a sun. App not changing between day and night. Please fix.

### 2/5 — Location not being updated

*2014-12-24, version 4.9.143*

I live in VA, outside of DC, and unfortunately the daily forecast for my area does not update... I've seen the same forecast for months...

### 4/5 — Update needed

*2014-10-17, version 4.9.143*

Overall is a reliable app, but it needs to be updated to IOS 8 ASAP. It keeps crushing,,,,?

### 3/5 — NOAA Weather app

*2014-09-29, version 4.9.143*

It is just ok, it's a shame but as weather guessing goes it'll do I guess.

### 4/5 — Well done

*2014-07-30, version 4.9.143*

I enjoy the info for it's quickness when traveling. Nothing too hard to figure out & the info is pretty accurate.

### 4/5 — NOAA Weather

*2014-04-29, version 4.9.143*

Nice app but could update more often

### 1/5 — NOAA weather and radar

*2022-05-02, version 4.13.228*

I paid for everything but app does not update! Weather data is incorrect for my location and other locations I am not receiving my severe weather alerts! CUSTOMER CARE? Ready to delete from my devices! And blog to others over the Internet stay away from these people! How about a little CUSTOMER CARE now that you’ve got my money I’ve been using your app for a long time get it together please! Thanks 😡

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2020-01-17, version 4.13.228*

Terrible app doesn’t have an easy way to delete unwanted cities and customize to my needs! I don’t recommend in any way! Waste of money!

### 1/5 — Wrong prediction

*2017-02-08, version 4.13.228*

All other weather stations in Northeast are calling for snow tomorrow except for this app which says it will be 57 and chance of rain.

### 1/5 — It's not working

*2017-02-04, version 4.13.228*

The paid app and free app are not working properly they r misbehaving they need to be fixed

### 1/5 — Not very good

*2015-04-14, version 4.13.228*

App thinks I'm in a town 15 miles away. If a weather app can't accurately locate you then how can it be considered usable

### 1/5 — Save Your Money!

*2014-10-26, version 4.9.143*

Basically worthless!

### 1/5 — NOAA used to have best weather app

*2014-07-27, version 4.9.143*

I live in Colorado so when I make a decision on hiking weather apps are important the noaa weather on the net is still accurate but when you don't have access to a computer an app is your go to for instance weather calls for 60% chance precip from 2 pm on for location iam hiking 30% 11am till 2 pm that tells me a lot but app just says 20% chance afternoon 60% and 20% is a huge swing of inaccuracies and at one time I trusted this app

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2014-05-25, version 4.9.143*

Save your money. This app looks and feels like a high school computer geek want a be built it. Way to busy with junk. Certainly NOT user friendly.

### 1/5 — Don't get this one!!!

*2014-04-28, version 4.9.143*

I should have all the reviews!  This thing thinks I'm a full county away from where I am AND you can't even move the radar screen. When you go to the regional screen, it tells you you can zoom in. Yeah well you lose all detail!

### 1/5 — Hrrrrrrrmmmmmm

*2014-04-21, version 4.9.143*

No good as a weather app. Just like any weather app it does a terrible job. Very unreliable. The radar is awful. Just use the weather app that comes with your phone

### 5/5 — Relief!

*2023-03-16*

So far it seems to provide as much or more features and more accurate forecasting than the Apple modification of Dark Sky.

### 5/5 — Exactly what I was looking for

*2019-08-16, version 4.13.228*

This is the best weather app made, period. I have tried countless others, and if you are into real weather data, straight from the source (NOAA) then this is the app to get. 

Easy to use, tons of information laid out in logical order. 

One of my favorite apps on my phone. I really like that getting to a national radar animated loop is easy (I know when a flight I am booked on is going to have a delay) plus, the fact that the app can pull up weather data for wherever you are is helpful if you travel. 

All in all, this is a great weather app, stable and easy to use, packed with good info.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2019-02-19, version 4.13.228*

Keeps me updated with excellent opportunity and data for planning!

### 5/5 — Thanks for fixing app😄
