Subscription only and expensive and sneaky

This is not a US Govt app. $4 per week. Only in portrait view, not landscape. Get your local TV app for free.

NO FREE VERSION, ONLY SUBSCRIPTION.

There is no option to use a free version!!!

While the app is free to download, I cannot access anything unless I pay for a subscription. They may as well charge us for the app.

There no longer a real time radar image showing rain/ storms. I’d like the old one back! That was informative.

Radar part doesn’t work?

Bought and downloaded the app but the radar map never actually shows the radar. It just gives colors for how much precipitation you’ll get. So you can’t actually ever track any storms or anything. Which is bizarre given the apps icon itself is a storm radar image. Definitely should’ve read the reviews on this one before buying it.

No radar

I just reinstalled your app…… very disappointed in how you have it setup. I would rather revert back to the original version I had….. this new version has destroyed your app and I plan to delete this app and cancel my subscription….

Total scam!

This app is a total a scam. From the very set up, it demands a subscription and processes your payment, but then the app never starts working, absolute waste of time. Do not use.

Wouldn’t even open

Downloaded the app because a huge storm was in our area. Forced me into a subscription but thankfully I did the trial by the app would not even open. Just kept taking me to the subscription page. Even time I made my selection, it said I already had a subscription and wouldn’t go further than that. Uninstalled and cancelled the trial

Free 1 week with sub Lie

I downloaded this app to check out the differences between what I always use, which is WeatherBug and this app. Well I have to say that this became a terrible experience when during set up I was prompted immediately for a one week trial with the option of a subscription. Plan 3.99 a month or $40 a year. Thinking I had a week to see if it was preferable to weather bug. I clicked on 40 a year. The app immediately charged my account the $40 no one week no options. Nothing I was charged immediately so unless you plan to download an inoperable app unless you buy something, don’t even try this. I canceled the subscription and I will make sure my bank does not pay this.

Does not work properly

Got the app during a bad weather evening. Found that town names other than my location were not included which made it hard to judge storm locations. No highways on the map either. Menu to choose map functions popped up on the upper left side and quickly disappeared before a selection could be made. Did not have the usefulness of free apps I have used in the past. Cannot use in landscape orientation. Some selection icons on the right side were superimposed over others making nearly impossible to select the bottom icons.

False advertising! Don’t waste your money!

I got this app in a moment of panic when a family member texted me to say that a tornado had touched down a few towns over and was headed in my direction. I paid $40 for the year-long subscription thinking this was actually an app from NOAA. I was expecting timely updates so I could stay safe, but as the tornado moved closer toward my location, this app only said that it was raining and there was “low risk” in my town. It said nothing about a tornado watch, nor a tornado warning when the funnel cloud was spotted. If it hadn’t been for the tornado sirens in my town, I would’ve been totally unprepared and vulnerable when the tornado did come through. I checked the app again from the safety of my storm cellar to see that it still said the weather was simply raining.
This app is a scam with potentially life-threatening consequences if it’s your only way of paying attention to local weather patterns. You’re better off buying an actual NOAA weather radio than this fraudulent app.

Money hungry

Downloaded twice to try it again but nope. It won’t do anything, not even give the temperature, until you pay $39.99! It’s not a free trial if you charge $40 up front!

I don’t usually trust promoted weather apps , I thought it’ll be another copy and paste code money grab scheme but turns out it’s a legit accurate forecast. Thanks

Horrible consumer practice

I feel I’ve been bait & switched. This app doesn’t work unless you pay, period. Why the ‘free’ download if the user is greeted with a pay wall?
