App had the the city of Miami at 86 but the live temperature was 77. Even now it’s 8 degrees off from the real time temp and the weather channel. ### 3/5 — UX lacking. Offers nothing of value for high price *2026-09-02, version 42.9.1* This application is very cheaply made. Sure it has a map, but you can tell the radar image is segmented and you can’t zoom in to see something coming toward you it doesn’t give you any of the storm when you click on it. You don’t have any way to see different layers like lightning and rain Like you can on many others it’s very high price but offers nothing in return. To the author, if you think that I miss something, I’d be glad for you to show me how the app actually provides value ### 4/5 — Weather sometimes accurate sometimes not accurate overall four stars(basically five stars) *2026-08-24, version 42.9.1* So like sometimes like I don’t like refreshing apps that much but it seems that this one needs to get like refreshed every few minutes from 10 to 20 or every five minutes. You should add a NOAA Weather radar live map, spark ### 1/5 — No good *2026-08-22, version 42.9.1* This app sucks, not accurate at all. Free radar apps are far better, total waste of money. Save yourself. ### 1/5 — Not user friendly *2026-08-22, version 42.9.1* App’s controls are not very good. I want my money back ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2026-08-22, version 42.9.1* App doesn’t have enough info to make it worthwhile. ### 1/5 — Clunky. Forgets settings between use *2026-08-21, version 42.9.1* Did not provide weather warnings as advertised. ### 1/5 — Unintuitive *2026-08-21, version 42.9.1* Navigation strange. I can’t even figure out how to quit a free trial. ### 1/5 — Farce. *2026-08-19, version 42.9.1* I shouldn’t have to pay to know about local storms. ### 1/5 — NO NOAA *2026-08-17, version 42.9.1* I guess that this not sponsored or published by NOAA. It is a for profit subscription. The website link doesn’t even work. I immediately deleted it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Scam app *2026-09-07, version 43.0.0* I’d have to agree with a previous reviewer that this is a probably a scam app. I read a review dated on May 11 that stated that there is no indicator that there will be an in-app purchase and they had replied that they were gonna fix the issue so that it indicates there is an in-app purchase. Well, about four months later I am having the same issue. And their replies are basically all the same of two types, they will fix the issue or they need more details in order to address the situation. It sounds like China to me, Temu style (we mailed you a gift, but first you make purchase; no in-app purchase, oh wait there is in-app purchase). Lying to get purchase is traditional way to barter. Scam app scam app scam app!! Scam app scam app scam pp! ### 1/5 — Bye! *2026-09-06, version 43.0.0* Too expensive and too pushy. ### 1/5 — They lie *2026-09-05, version 42.9.1* Down load is free. That’s about it. ### 1/5 — Watched it raining out the window *2026-09-04, version 42.9.1* It’s always fun to pay for an app that simply doesn’t have a clue what’s going on. I get it, Trump and his buddy Elon cut the funding for NOAA. Perhaps that’s why I’ve watched it rain a significant amount in the past 48 hours and this app has predicted clear skies and no chance of rain. ### 1/5 — Weird colors *2026-08-29, version 42.9.1* I canceled ### 1/5 — Paid access *2026-08-28, version 42.9.1* It sucks when we have all of the paid features for free online. Don’t waste your money on this! ### 1/5 — Farce. *2026-08-26, version 42.9.1* I shouldn’t have to pay to know about local storms. After your review, I have concluded that capitalism is more important to you than people’s lives. Ttyl. ### 1/5 — Not NOAA *2026-08-25, version 42.9.1* Bought this app then eventually realized that NOAA/NWS does not produce an app. This is a misleading app that is just trying to make money by using the NOAA name to look official. It’s a scam :( ### 1/5 — Scared me so bad *2026-08-25, version 42.9.1* The noaa weather app said there's a tornado 80 miles from my position and i had under a hour to seek shelter had two or more hours later nope google said nope no tornados from 80 miles. ### 1/5 — Paywall *2026-08-23, version 42.9.1* Prepare to see pop ups and teaser info that you can only access if you pay. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — September rain *2026-09-06, version 43.0.0* Begin El Niño. ### 5/5 — Nice and bright *2026-09-06, version 43.0.0* Greatest ### 5/5 — Good *2026-09-04, version 42.9.1* Just good ### 5/5 — Awesome App *2026-09-04, version 42.9.1* This app offers great weather forecasts and information in a timely manner! ### 5/5 — Reliable *2026-08-30, version 42.9.1* Great app with reliable info ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-08-29, version 42.9.1* LOVE IT ### 5/5 — Most Accurate Weather Updates *2026-08-27, version 42.9.1* Most Accurate Weather Updates. ### 5/5 — NOAA Radar *2026-08-19, version 42.9.1* It works great ### 5/5 — Jamie in KC,KS *2026-08-19, version 42.9.1* Love this app!! Great features. ### 5/5 — Great service *2026-08-18, version 42.9.1* Much better than getting the weather on the news --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
