Tried every possible combination, there simply are no locations that can be set into the program. Thus, there is absolutely no weather information. My location is not working. Once get messages that it is disabled, however, it shows to be turned on. ### 5/5 — It's great *2017-10-18, version 2.2.8* This is the weather system our district uses for lightning notifications. The app makes it so much easier to monitor incoming weather. The way it displays lightning strikes and the 30min all clear count down makes it easy for informing all admin and coaches when it is safe to resume play. ### 5/5 — Great App - really helpful for our school! *2016-12-18, version 2.1.0* Easily the best lightning alert app on the market. We've had bad experiences w other services but Perry Weather has been a great investment from day 1. Our school (4AA, moderate size) uses it for sports and as an AD I feel better knowing we're completely covered during inclement weather. Really like the web dashboard and consulting as well! Would give 4.5 if I could only because there's no satellite imagery on the radar yet. ### 5/5 — Works Awesome! *2016-10-08, version 2.0* Pocket Perry did everything advertised! We got our kids off the field and to safety just in time. Highly recommend! ### 5/5 — HS Trainer *2015-03-24, version 1.2* We have been using this app for the past year and it has proven to be extremely beneficial. The alerts are accurate and timely. The consultation piece is essential for scheduling around inclement weather. Highly recommend! ### 5/5 — LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT *2014-09-08, version 1.0.2* I absolutely love this app!!!! :) I deleted snapchat Instagram Twitter and Facebook because this app is so fulfilling!! Sequel please!! I can't keep my kids from playing pocket perry!! ### 5/5 — Sweetness *2014-09-08, version 1.0.2* This app is quintessential beauty. ### 1/5 — Save your money *2014-07-24, version 1.0.2* Not only does it not do anything it is clunky and slow doing it. I would give it zero stars if that were an option. ### 5/5 — Dallas Perry Weather ld *2014-04-24, version 1.0.2* Great app shows lighting in less than 5, 5-10, greater than 10 minutes. Very useful tool when you want to be out in the weather. But want to be safe. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Cant even make an account *2026-08-24, version 4.8.0* The very first screen shows only a login button. It won’t let me log in because I have no account. Logic would dictate that I need to click a “create an account” button but there isn’t one. Cant imagine the rest of the site works that well if you can’t even get the main screen right. Hope this doesn’t lead to my soccer team getting struck by lightning. ### 1/5 — No option to create an account. *2025-07-01, version 4.4.4* No option to create an account. ### 1/5 — Account and subscription info *2023-08-10, version 3.6.2* How do you get an account? I am assuming that the subscription information will come along once you get an account. ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2020-07-21, version 3.0.3* This app is terrible. It lost all of my saved locations and now I can’t add anything back in. It’s not sensitive at all when I try to change settings. And it wasn’t sending me alerts even when it did seem to be working properly. I’d give it zero stars if I could. We just installed the weather system at our school. I’m the athletic director. How can I possibly monitor the weather to keep athletes safe using this app with all of the issues? Seems to me like we wasted our money. I hope it gets fixed before fall sports start up in a few weeks. ### 1/5 — Really? *2020-03-26, version 2.5.8* I cant even see every option they have like the hourly wind thats not on the screen and you cant scroll down to see it ### 1/5 — App No Longer Works with iPadOS 13 Update *2019-10-20, version 2.5.4* This app no longer works since updating my iPad Pro to iPadOS 13. Hopefully they will push out a fix to this very soon because as of this update I can no longer access my data when on the go or away from a desktop computer. Since the update all I get now when opening the app is Error Failed to Perform Initial Setup. Please Try Again. Also, please allow for viewing of the app in Landscape mode. It currently only allows for viewing in Portrait mode, which isn’t helpful at all when having to switch back and forth between different apps. ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money *2018-05-14, version 2.3.0* The first review says it all ### 1/5 — Not Suitable To Individuals For Private Use *2018-01-01, version 2.2.8* I had previously used another great lightning tracker app until it was taken off the app store in September 2017. It also required a subscription to use which being a weather geek was never an issue for me. Tracking lightning strikes is an important tool in finding out where I need to film storms while also keeping myself safe. Since that app got removed I have been using a different app which I really do not like. We have thunderstorms in the forecast this Wednesday so I am looking to find a better lightning tracking app. I do not mind paying a subscription and bought this app guessing there would be an in app purchase option for a subscription to use the app. Instead the app ended up directing me to its website. The company who runs this app seems to be gearing their services only to other companies for professional use. So if you are some random guy like me hoping to use the app for private use either as part of pursuing the great hobby of storm chasing or just to warn you and your family of an approaching thunderstorm you are not in luck. Their website does not have any functions to purchase a subscription to use this app but they have a 10 day free trial option for professional use. I do not want a 10 day free trial. Their website seems advanced enough to be capable of listing a subscription price with an “Add to Cart” button next to it. Until then my search continues. ### 1/5 — I want to love this app *2016-09-15, version 1.8* I have not been able to sign in. I watched the video but never had the opportunity to give my e-mail in order to get a password. ### 1/5 — Another deceptive app *2014-09-30, version 1.0.2* Free download but requires a subscription to actually use it. No in app purchases mentioned - I guess a subscription isn’t an In App Purchase. Looking at their web site there is absolutely no indication of what the subscription costs. I guess you have to sign up for the free trial before you can find out the cost. NO THANKS. Too bad, because from what I can see it’s a good looking app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2025-07-22, version 4.4.6* We use this app on a large construction site and find it invaluable. The personal meteorologist is really cool! This isn’t really for individual users. This is for organizations like schools, golf courses, etc. ### 5/5 — New User *2025-07-14, version 4.4.6* Super user friendly and intuitive. Had my whole team download! ### 5/5 — Accurate and helpful *2024-07-10, version 3.6.14* The Perry Weather app has been great. I love the ability to view lightning on my radar! Also, having access to meteorological support 24/7 is an amazing feature! ### 5/5 — Hands down the BEST *2022-06-09, version 3.4.4* Reviewed several other systems and this was the best we found for our club. From top to bottom - app, hardware and meteorologist support - it is easily the best solution available. ### 5/5 — Best Weather Safety System on the Market! *2022-06-09, version 3.4.4* Perry weather is hands down the best weather safety platform on the market. It’s the best way to get all my team on the same page and speaking the same language as it relates to inclement weather and what to do in each circumstance. Couldn’t speak more highly of PW, their app and their overall customer experience. ### 5/5 — Best of the best *2022-06-09, version 3.4.4* I have used all types of weather apps. Perry Weather is hands down the easiest to use, and offers everything I could ever need. ### 5/5 — Great product, great support *2021-06-08, version 3.3.0* We looked at the bigger companies that made the perry weather knock off app, but they look junky and don’t work very well. ### 5/5 — Great *2018-08-03, version 2.4.0* My school district uses this for every coach and it’s great! We use it for lighting and for weather ### 5/5 — Accurate & Reliable *2018-08-02, version 2.4.0* The Pocket Perry service has saved our university numerous times from making the wrong call. This system is a necessity for us! ### 5/5 — Like it *2018-07-30, version 2.4.0* Works great. Adjustable warning area distances are helpful. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
