### 5/5 — Favorite weather app

*2026-04-11, version 1.30.7*

Love the app hate the ads. Purchased to remove them. Worked great, then ads came back. Why?  After brief disappointment it looks like I was able to restore purchase now. Which I’m glad for. There are a lot of other weather apps out there and some have a really fancy UI but this one is tried and true. Still my weather favorite app.

### 1/5 — I used to like this app, but the ads are now porn

*2026-03-15, version 1.30.7*

I cannot report the ads, everything on the bottom of my screen is porn.

### 5/5 — Fast and efficient

*2026-02-05, version 1.30.7*

I really like this app because it is very easy to use and is actually right a lot of the time!!

### 5/5 — Better than Accu

*2026-02-05, version 1.30.7*

Love this app. Better than Accu Weather.

### 1/5 — Has Porn Ads!

*2026-01-24, version 1.30.7*

The app itself is good but it’s serving porn ads.  Disgusting!

### 2/5 — Great weather NASTY ADS!!!

*2026-01-08, version 1.30.7*

The weather on this app was great! But I had to delete it due to some nasty ads that kept popping up when I was looking at it when my kids were nearby.

### 5/5 — Good access to NOAA. I’ve been using it for years

*2026-01-04, version 1.30.7*

The format is excellent. It tells me the hour by hour forecast, dew point, chance of rain or snow, how much precipitation, sunrise & sunset times, etc. I took 2 years of Meteorology before changing to Engineering. I like the details it gives. The forecasts and radar are wonderful on this App.

### 4/5 — Good app

*2025-12-23, version 1.30.7*

I don’t really have much to say about the app, it is neat that you can pin anywhere on the map and get a result, but other apps do that also, so nothing revolutionary.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2025-12-13, version 1.30.7*

Love the app, very accurate.

### 5/5 — Fabulous!

*2025-11-28, version 1.30.7*

Love this app! Exactly what I need to know within seconds. The ads are not annoying.
