Simple, Reliable Weather App That Needs CarPlay Support

I’ve been using Radar Pro for years, and one of the best things about it is its simplicity and clean design. The app does exactly what it needs to without feeling bloated. My only real complaint is the lack of Apple CarPlay support. Being able to quickly check the weather on the car display without grabbing my phone would be a huge improvement and safer while driving. Other than that, I still highly recommend the app, and I would definitely pay again if CarPlay support becomes available. I also purchased the previous version years ago and have been happy with it ever since.

Worked great for hurricane Lee

This app was the best. But support site is no longer. Hasn't been updated in years. Sad.
Wasted 5 bucksWasted 5 bucks

Dallas has disappeared

I’ve used this app for a while and suddenly Dallas shows data for 9:58-10:25am at 4:02am. It says nothing is happening. Other radars show a wintery mix. I’ve emailed tech support.
