### 3/5 — Pricing/Updates

*2026-06-14, version 1.4*

Really like the concept of this app and was considering purchasing it. But developer said some users having a hard time purchasing his app. Well, it would be nice if you could fix your app so we could purchase it. And it’s been a year since app was updated.

### 3/5 — Pricing

*2026-05-27, version 1.4*

Really like the concept of this app and was considering purchasing it. But I sent a message to developer on how to purchase and yet to receive a response. Oh well! Guess I’ll delete app. ✌🏽

### 1/5 — Not reliable

*2025-08-02, version 1.4*

I was really hoping to find positivity and accuracy with this app. Unfortunately, it’s like every other weather app that forecasts precipitation/rain/storms with absolutely nothing for real results. So very incredibly disappointing. Radar is inaccurate.

### 1/5 — Inaccurate

*2025-07-13, version 1.4*

Not worth it. His forecasts are more often inaccurate than accurate. He’s self-taught and didn’t study meteorology, which really shows in the lack of consistency and depth in his predictions. I’d recommend relying on trained meteorologists for more reliable information.

### 1/5 — No longer working properly

*2024-07-23, version 1.2*

All the pictures are showing a blue square with question marks and lots of the data spots show 0. It has been broken for weeks and I pay for the add-less version

### 1/5 — Unstable,inaccurate, and politically charged

*2024-05-19, version 1.2*

If you want accurate weather I don’t suggest this app. Content in app is a pain to access and crashes constantly, even in my iPhone 15 Pro Max. Plus the ads they chose to show you every time you open the app are politically charged.

Why does everything now a days have to have political motives, I just want to check the goddamn weather. 

Politics aside the app is very unstable.

### 5/5 — Public Works First Responder

*2024-01-17, version 1.1*

POW is awesome for me as to can project / plan ahead based on pow information for winter storms that can ramp up quickly in the Midwest . This information helps us get ahead of what’s coming! To prepare and get Equipment ready and prepare for what coming !! Awesome information !! 

And also I love to see what weather is coming just to plan an event or vacation for personal use ! 

Thank you for all you do !!

### 1/5 — Pow weather app

*2023-11-25, version 1.1*

I deleted this app for it is not working as advertised I could not find it to be any different from other apps.

### 5/5 — POW weather

*2023-10-28, version 1.0*

So this is the weather app for me! Nice graphics  and radar in an easy to use format.

### 5/5 — Love watching your youtube channel

*2023-10-27, version 1.0*

However, I installed the app and it does not want to load the weather for my location.  I cannot wait to check it out once it is working correctly.
