### 2/5 — Would not recommend

*2026-06-24, version 5.8*

First of all, this app is really a let down. When you see the photos it has on the App Store it looks promising. However, everything it advertises you have to pay for. Then most of the free stuff you get is either really straight forward or way to complex. I really had high hopes for this app.

### 3/5 — Good but

*2026-04-20, version 5.7*

no widget

### 5/5 — Mother Nature

*2026-03-07, version 5.7*

I check in most everyday to see what to expect on the weather scene.  It is very accurate, if a little technical, and lets me plan my day or rearrange my schedule.  A valuable tool for all.

### 5/5 — Weather App

*2026-02-24, version 5.7*

Great app to use. Very detailed in reporting. Much deeper information provided. Excellent for storm chasers and or beginners wanted to learn more. Highly recommend.

### 3/5 — Okay but…

*2026-02-21, version 5.7*

Only viewing option is with a dark background and white text which totally screws with my eyes after less than 5 minutes being on it. Please provide the option to pick what type of background is preferred.

### 5/5 — Accurate Weather Summaries!

*2026-02-07, version 5.7*

Excellent and accurate text summaries for all weather environments!

### 5/5 — Oklahoma

*2026-01-25, version 5.7*

Weather in Oklahoma is a different beast. I love reading my Mesonet data, then diving into deep weather to see what is affecting the weather in the three systems that collide here.

### 5/5 — The One App I Can’t Do Without

*2026-01-24, version 5.7*

This is fantastic: The information other forecasts are based on. No gimmicks. I do have other weather apps but this is the one I look at first. One subscription covers all your devices. Friendly fast customer support. A bargain!

### 4/5 — Enjoy summary of NWS Discussion page

*2026-01-08, version 5.7*

Nice layout of discussion page as I read daily

### 5/5 — Fine Tune Forecast

*2025-12-26, version 5.7*

The 6 hour weather map not only alerts of approaching systems but add to the consideration of interacting weather systems H and L. 
In all cases it helps us to make good decisions in work, travel and vacation.

### 2/5 — $60 for free weather data?

*2025-11-16, version 5.6*

All of the data within this app is available for free from the National Weather Service. The fact that the app developer has programmed into the app constant pop-ups demanding $60 for “lifetime access” to data which is already freely available is just laughable. Deleted.

### 5/5 — Great product

*2025-11-16, version 5.6*

Love the scientific writings of the weather

### 5/5 — More upper atmosphere air levels

*2025-11-09, version 5.6*

Deep Weather is a good product but would be better with 850 and 700 mb levels

### 5/5 — Accurate Weather

*2025-11-01, version 5.6*

Very easy access , accurate, comprehensive for Flight or ground travel
planning

### 5/5 — Excellent informative weather app

*2025-10-11, version 5.5*

Better than any other weather app if you appreciate assessments by knowledgable meteorologists—and no ads.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — No location for City

*2026-06-28, version 5.8*

No service period‼️🤬

### 1/5 — Expected better than bad

*2026-06-16, version 5.8*

I don't see the point of this "app" - it just takes NWS data, fixes none of the UX, and tries to sell it to you for $60 with constant pop-ups. NO WIDGETS. NO EASY TO READ CHARTS. NO MULTI LOCATION PAGE.
Think I'll stick to the NWS website

### 1/5 — Useless app

*2026-01-10, version 5.7*

Literally got to pay for everything. All of this stuff is free online or another app

### 1/5 — No option to cancel after trial

*2025-12-27, version 5.7*

I can cancel after the pre-trial no option on the app sent email, but no response

### 1/5 — Pointless weather app

*2025-07-28, version 5.5*

Can even use the radar without having to pay premium fees

### 1/5 — VERY INACCURATE

*2025-06-09, version 5.5*

65% CORRECT IF THAT OR LESS! ACCUWEATHER APP IS MUCH BETTER! DEEP WEATHER IS FARMED OUT BY WAY OF N.O.A.A! AND BADLY MIS-INTERPRETED!

### 1/5 — Unethical reselling

*2024-03-30, version 4.8*

This app simply re-sells everything provided at taxpayer expense from the US National Weather Service. This app is literally just regurgitating the text from the NWS website. The NWS is prohibited by law from making their own weather app, so we can all get fleeced by people like this app developer and the politicians like the CEO of accuweather who got appointed to be the director of the Dept of Commerce. You are a bad person for doing unethical reselling and you should feel bad.

### 1/5 — Have to pay to see Columbus forecast

*2023-12-23, version 4.8*

Can only see Wilmington. Deleteing this app.

### 1/5 — this is public data anybody can write an application for it

*2023-10-24*

this is public data that anybody can write an application for. Yet they have dummy down this app to try to make some money on something you can get for free, do you want a default location have to pay, do you want a single page which is the default way that it comes from the weather service, gotta pay the only worthwhile thing this app has is the glossary which is nice to have but then again there’s Google Search and when you might need it which is rarely.

### 1/5 — Review

*2023-10-02, version 4.7.6*

App doesn’t work at all!
Installed
Reinstalled
And nothing !

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Great app consolidating multiple NWS sources

*2026-07-13, version 5.8*

Great job presenting data from nws. Only complaint is occasional freezes that require restarting the app

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2026-06-27, version 5.8*

When I am forecasting weather this is extremely helpful when I can’t view the NWS Area forecast discussion. Super helpful 10/10

### 5/5 — Extremely accurate and concise Wx interpretation

*2026-06-02, version 5.8*

I am a pilot whom flies in/out of the California coastal areas often. Deep Wx is spot on with fog forecasting with 80% accuracy rate. I like the long term outlook layout and can get a good synopsis of the days ahead in just 60 seconds of reading. Great job!

### 5/5 — Chief Weather Watcher

*2026-05-28, version 5.8*

Use it every day!

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-05-19, version 5.8*

Really fun to get more in depth answers to if it’s going to rain!!

### 5/5 — NWS WEATHER DEEP WEATHER

*2026-05-16, version 5.8*

I love this app so easy for me at 75 yrs old to manipulate and read what weather is coming in advance to prepare.

### 5/5 — Familiar tools

*2026-04-27, version 5.7*

I was a weather observer and forecaster in the Air Force, then forecaster as a civilian totaling 17 years. It’s good to have some real tools to use again. Only wish I had access to 00Z and 12Z satellite of US, a 200mb chart, and maybe votive analysis/forecast. The discussion is familiar and useful.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-04-04, version 5.7*

Accurate information

### 5/5 — Wonderful app

*2026-03-25, version 5.7*

It is fantastic to get to read every day the professional opinions of the detailed forecasts, model likelihoods, and event probabilities in the region. 
It certainly contributes to our abilities to to our jobs and a medical flight crew. Thanks!

### 5/5 — good

*2026-03-08, version 5.7*

this app is good. better details then the regular apple weather app. but the apple weather app is more convenient
