Thanks POW! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 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. ✌🏽 ### 3/5 — Fair app - great content *2023-10-22, version 1.0* App is missing key features like widgets, 10-14+ forecasts, detailed rainfall projections by the day. Love that the app contains quick and easy access to his videos where he shares some of the info missing. App looks great and is fast, it is just missing some key elements that make other weather apps like Storm and Weather Underground more preferable for me right now. ### 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 !! ### 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. ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 5/5 — It’s great *2023-10-23, version 1.0* This app is so easy to use! There is so much information provided that is easy to get to! ### 5/5 — Great app *2023-10-23, version 1.0* Great source for your own local weather and the future weather forecast. Ranching is always impacted by weather so I’m always looking at the forecast. Simple app too makes it easy to use. ### 5/5 — Trustworthy and Reliable *2023-10-23, version 1.0* Hands down I rely on POW Ponder on Weather more than any other weather reporter. His alerts are spot on and quite often arrive before every other network. His live severe weather reporting is SUPER informative, including giving tips on staying safe when you’re in the eye of the storm. But even more he doesn’t sensationalize events in order to gain more views/followers. He is incredibly up front and honest in his reporting, and will not try to freak out the general public like we so often see on the news. ### 5/5 — My go-to weather app *2023-10-22, version 1.0* Roy Ponder predicted severity if the 2021 winter storm in North Texas days ahead when the meteorologists on our local broadcast networks did not. I was able to prepare for it and have supplies and prevent damage to my home during power outages. We get extreme weather in NTX and I want to know what’s coming. I check POW’s forecast daily to stay “weather aware”. ### 5/5 — Best weather app! *2023-10-22, version 1.0* Love this app! So easy to use, and if you know POW- you know the forecast is spot on! Been a follower of his for awhile now and he’s my go to guy in keeping my family safe! ### 5/5 — My go to! *2023-10-22, version 1.0* So so incredible! ### 5/5 — Great app! *2023-10-22, version 1.0* Very accurate! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
