### 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*

### 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:** Хорошие новости: новое обновление PocketRadar уже доступно. Мы внесли улучшения и изменения во всём приложении. Пожалуйста, установите последнюю версию из App Store и попробуйте её. Спасибо за ваш отзыв!

### 5/5 — Premium

*2019-07-31, version 2.3.3*

Alles Gut

### 1/5 — Un vrai scandale

*2019-07-31, version 2.3.3*

J'ai acheté le widget à 5€46. Une semaine après cette application est remplacé par une nouvelle et avec de la pub. Donc l'ancienne ne fonctionne plus et la nouvelle est pleine de pub !!! C'est du vol passez votre chemin.

### 1/5 — Hasn't worked in ages.

*2026-03-12, version 3.0.7*

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.

### 1/5 — Premium avec pub

*2024-10-11, version 3.0.7*

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.

### 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, version 3.0.0*

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!

### 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.

### 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.

### 5/5 — Very good.

Regards

### 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.
