### 1/5 — Needs work

*2024-11-07*

Every couple weeks I have to redownload it because the radar quits working.

### 1/5 — UDATE RUINED THE APP!!

*2023-05-06*

Just deleted the app and switching to Channel 4’s weather app. Whatever you did in the update messed up the radar map and now it just flashes. Horrible app now. Good bye.

### 3/5 — Not the greatest

*2026-06-25*

Whenever there’s a day where there’s gonna be rain I always look at this app and see that there’s gonna be thunderstorms on a certain hour but once it’s that hour, THERE ISN’T EVEN A DROP OF RAIN. I don’t why but this app says there’s gonna be rain way before it actually happens. And they also mess up quite often when it comes to wind and they usually say that the wind is way more light than it actually is. The only thing they get right is the temperature,humidity, and how cloudy it is but I feel like all weather apps are able to do that. For everyone reading this please get weather bug instead of this app, trust me it is WAY more accurate. “Sorry for making this review super long “

### 3/5 — Weather or not

Greatest thing on my phone for weather even better than the weather channel app

### 5/5 — NTV the best

*2024-03-14*

I use this app daily to get me ready for my outdoor walks.  Temperature is one thing, the winds they report gives the truest picture of how I need to dress.  Always spot on to make me prepared whether walking or driving!
