You get the NOAA radio forecast as well as a way to read radar. ### 5/5 — Great App! *2026-06-24, version 14* Very user friendly, easy to set up numerous alerts to keep my family safe and in the know with that’s going on! ### 2/5 — Not good *2026-06-21, version 14* Why don’t you include the NWS office in Dodge City, KS? It’s the closest to where I live. ### 4/5 — Very good app *2026-06-19, version 14* I really like this app. It provides me with tons of information, especially during severe weather season here in southern MN. I wish the that Mankato station would come back on line. ### 5/5 — Ben *2026-06-18, version 14* Mosqueda ### 5/5 — The best *2026-06-18, version 14* I’m so thankful for this app. I live in an area that gets a lot of storms and, I’m always prepared. ### 4/5 — Good mobile weather radio *2026-06-18, version 14* Great to listen on the go ### 5/5 — April L K *2026-06-18, version 14* I have had this app for a while and it the most accurate as far as alerts go!! 5 stars ### 5/5 — A Little Piece of Mind *2026-06-18, version 14* This is a great app that lets me sleep a little easier at night. I enjoy all the functionality and the enhancements that the most recent update provided. Great app! ### 5/5 — Radio review *2026-06-17, version 14* I have listened to and relied on NOAA Weather Radio for many years. They have not been wrong yet, as far as I know. Thank you, everyone connected to NOAA! ### 5/5 — Must Have App *2026-06-17, version 14* This is a great app for getting NOAA weather info. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — This should be free *2026-09-02, version 15.3* Very sad a person needs to pay for a normally free service ### 1/5 — NOTHING WORKS *2026-08-30, version 15.3* What exactly is this app - took my money very efficiently- nothing works ### 1/5 — NOAA Weather Radio *2026-07-26, version 15.2* Every time I try to open the radio it says station is offline so I don’t get any radio report! And when I try different locations it still shows south Florida on the radar not the station that I clicked on ### 1/5 — Cancel account???? *2026-07-19, version 15.1* I’ve tried to cancel my account several times and you continue to try and charge my card this needs fixed in the app so you can cancel a subscription in the app!!! Your email service is a joke! ### 1/5 — Dang. *2026-07-06, version 15* Spent over $15.00 to find out it doesn’t stream my local NOAA radio. What a waste. Other features work great, but the reason I downloaded it was to stream NOAA without having to bring my weather radio everywhere. 😅. It streams weird girl voice. Nothing like my real weather radio. Will be filing a chargeback with my Apple Card. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work *2026-07-06, version 15* Local stations don’t work. Most important options are behind paywalls even after paying for the app. Not worth it. ### 1/5 — Area *2026-06-29, version 15* To get my area I need to pay more. ### 1/5 — Never works *2026-06-25, version 15* On a scanner Chicago station is always available. But never working in this app. Message says they are working on it. For three years so far. ### 1/5 — Deleted-NOT NWS *2026-06-19, version 14* Deleted app. Best to get a REAL NOAA radio, or a link to an official .gov source, rather than to entrust our data to an app that is run by a private individual. ### 1/5 — No channels for Alaska even though we do have one *2026-06-17, version 14* This app is severely disappointing how they continue to exclude the Alaska stations! we have stations but everyone acts like we are non existent or frickin Antarctica! We are part of the USA people! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Hoping for the voice part of the "radio" *2026-09-06, version 15.4* I like the app allot I like that I can get the severe weather notifications in the county o love on and any others I add as a bookmark I would like to see the “radio” come back from my area it’s not enabled the app picks up what some of the other apps are not I do know this. 👍 I would give 5 stars if I could get the radio part too. ### 5/5 — Ben *2026-07-27, version 15.2* Mosqueda ### 5/5 — Bug *2026-07-14, version 15.1* Should I have had this app since 2025 and I have been noticing that I can no longer get notifications even though they are on ### 5/5 — What an amazing new app update! *2026-07-09, version 15.1* The synthesized weather reports? Genius. Well done and thank you for the hard work! ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-07-05, version 15* I’m not able to receive any weather radio notifications on this app. Can you fix this on the next update? ### 5/5 — None *2026-07-02, version 15* Had this app over 10 yrs ### 5/5 — Nice response *2026-06-28, version 15* Earlier I had given a 2 star review because of not having my local NOAA station. They have corrected it and now I wait to see how it goes. ### 5/5 — NOAA weather *2026-06-27, version 15* I have two other weather apps on my iPhone this is the most accurate one by far ### 5/5 — Miami station *2026-06-26, version 15* Hardly works complete silence ### 5/5 — Ben *2026-06-25, version 15* Mosqueda --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
