### 4/5 — Very nice app

*2026-09-24*

Definitely one of the better radar image weather apps. I would really like to see a couple of additional options.
It would be helpful to be able to turn off the info panel over Hurricanes so we can see the full track. 
Polo’s Info: 
“POLO • 287 km/h
Hurricane-force tropical cyclone”
Nearly had a heart attack! For a split second I thought Polo was a Category 8. We who are south of Canada and north of Mexico are severely undereducated, please give us the ability to switch between kilometers and miles.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! PocketRadar 4.2.3 is now available. Please update the app from the App Store and give the latest version a try.

### 2/5 — It used to be accurate

*2025-07-04, version 3.0.7*

It used to be accurate. Now sometimes it rains and there is nothing on the radar.

### 4/5 — Ben fatta ma…

*2023-06-10, version 3.0.5*

La app è fatta bene, precisa, leggibile e funziona bene anche sul mio antico iPhone 6. Tolgo una stella perchè ultimamente la pubblicità è divenuta veramente invasiva e non è possibile acquistare un abbonamento o versione premium per liberarsene.

### 4/5 — Buono

*2020-10-19, version 3.0.0*

..ma un po' lento..

### 2/5 — Very slow

*2020-09-26, version 3.0.0*

Its too slow

### 5/5 — 좋아요

*2020-03-02*

좋아요

**Developer response:** 리뷰를 남겨 주셔서 감사합니다! PocketRadar 4.2.3이 출시되었습니다. App Store에서 앱을 업데이트하고 최신 버전을 사용해 보세요.

### 1/5 — Why is this app in my updates?

*2020-02-04, version 3.0.0*

I’ve never installed this thing. Why is it showing up as an update?

### 1/5 — R U kidding me?

*2019-10-14, version 2.3.3*

Doesn’t work any more. The app wants me to download the new one Weather Now, that has, obviously, the hateful request of a subscription. That’s not serious, guys.

### 3/5 — Ok

*2019-08-13, version 2.3.3*

Ok

### 1/5 — Нет слов

*2019-08-04*

Была шикарная программа прогноза погоды, но после того как начало отсылать на обновление, стала абсолютно бесполезной программой! И не надо отсылать на какие то ссылки, они тоже бесполезны поскольку гаджет даже не поддерживает 11 иос. Почему нельзя оставить как есть для тех кто уже пользуется, кто хочет обновит, кто не хочет не будет! Вообщем ставлю 1 поскольку после 6 лет удовольствия получил фигу 👎👎👎

**Developer response:** Спасибо за ваш отзыв! Вышла новая версия PocketRadar 4.2.3. Обновите приложение в App Store и попробуйте последнюю версию.

### 1/5 — На iPadOS 16.7.16 не работает.

*2026-10-18*

Запускается и падает. ((

### 1/5 — Падает!!!

*2026-09-15*

Через пару секунд программа падает. Что тут ещё добавить? (((

### 1/5 — Hasn't worked in ages.

*2026-03-12*

This was my ‘go to’ weather app but for the past 6 months it has not been able to show anything apart from the mapping.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! PocketRadar 4.2.3 is now available. Please update the app from the App Store and give the latest version a try.

### 1/5 — Premium avec pub

*2024-10-11*

Appli premium a vie grâce à une offre et même pas 1 mois après l'appli passe avec des pubs. De plus l'appli manque de données. Je desinstalle.

**Developer response:** Merci pour votre avis ! PocketRadar 4.2.3 est maintenant disponible. Mettez l’application à jour depuis l’App Store et essayez la dernière version.

### 1/5 — Mouch 22/01/24

*2024-01-22, version 3.0.6*

Application ne fonctionne plus voir le problème merci

### 1/5 — Era buena

*2022-10-19, version 3.0.5*

Era muy buena hasta que dejó de funcionar. Ahora no aparecen las precipitaciones aunque sean muy fuertes.

Rain Alarm funciona perfectamente, así que es problema de la app.

### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2021-01-25, version 3.0.0*

Good app but ads pop up each time i open it now. 
Would get 4-5 stars except for the ads.

### 1/5 — Bye

*2020-06-03, version 3.0.0*

Giant ad splash screen ruins the experience. Deleted.

### 1/5 — Pointless gimmick

*2020-03-04*

Shows weather radar for the last 2 hours so isn’t actually a forecast. This “free” app is £4.99 to just block ads? - no thanks!

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! PocketRadar 4.2.3 is now available. Please update the app from the App Store and give the latest version a try.

### 1/5 — Ich soll eine bereits Bezahlte Version noch mal Bezahlen

*2020-02-13, version 3.0.0*

Und das ist eine sehr große Sauerrei und sollte sofort abgestellt werden. Und weil ich das schon öfter in eurer Bewerbung lese, wird sie diesmal mit nur einen Stern bewertet, schlechter Bewerten kann ich es leider nicht stand: 13.02.2020    9:30Uhr.

### 5/5 — Job Efficiency

*2020-07-18*

This app allows me to send crews where they can reliably get in some billable hours and not have me pay 3 guys 4 hours round trip and 200 miles on my service trucks just to wait an hour for the rain to quit and come back without a single billable minute. Just one trip like this it saves me pays for the app for 2 or 3 years. I have several of this type of app and this one is far and away the best and most accurate. Well worth the expense.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! PocketRadar 4.2.3 is now available. Please update the app from the App Store and give the latest version a try.
