Déception

Les prévisions ne sont pas correctes du tout, je suis un peu déçu

Response from developer

Sorry to hear that! Could you email us via app settings > Send Feedback > Send Email with your location and examples? We would like to look into the forecast accuracy for your area

Useless

Worked great in South Korea but now home in Sydney, it notifies of rain when there isn’t any and the app radar view doesn’t show rain when it is raining.
Reported the issue to developers and sent screenshots as they requested but haven’t received a response since.

Awesome but there was a bug

When I clicked on the radar in panama it showed red 0s on the left. The radar name is PANM.

Sucks

Not accurate + you have to open the app every week so they don’t pause the updates, there’s a lot of other good options

Free version is useless

Can’t provide any future radar without paying. In response to your reply - you can not see radar into the FUTURE without paying. Like not even a few hours. Meaning - if I want to slide the timer forward and see when the rain is going to stop, the radar screen goes gray and asks for payment for that information. So….useless.

I’m deleting it because it’s not accurate at all

I downloaded this app a week ago and three different days and several times on each one of those three days it tells me it’s going to either rain or drizzle and it hasn’t done either in the week I’ve had it on my iPad and iPhone. I am deleting it when I’m done with this review.

Fast Radar View of Rain

Does exactly what I wanted. There’s enough changes in the settings to where I get the immediate view of incoming rain relative to my position. And that’s all I need. 👍🏼⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

一点不准

Response from developer

Hi there, thanks for sharing your feedback. We're not quite sure what went wrong here, could you tell us a bit more about what happened? Feel free to reach out via app settings > Send Feedback > Send Email so we can take a closer look and help out.

Does not show your location

Needs your location marked so you can judge incoming weather precisely. Currently it’s just a guess unless you zoom way in on the map. 👎🏼

Version payante en une seule fois

Bonjour. Bravo pour votre application. Néanmoins, a quand une version payante en une seule fois ? Merci par avance pour votre retour.

Response from developer

Hi there, thank you so much for the kind words! Right now we only offer subscription plans, we did have a one-time purchase option in the past, but that changed a few years back. We appreciate you asking though, and we'll keep it in mind

Inconsistent forecasts

Y

Alerts do not work

The whole reason I tried this app was that I wanted a real time alert for rain as I sometimes have expensive astrophotography equipment outside. I paid for a subscription and set up alerts. It is literally raining as I write this, and the app did nothing.

No good

Terrible. Opacity is too much. Can’t see county lines. Worthless.

Useless unless you buy it

Other free apps offer far more information, and this one is deliberately limited. This app often has issues connecting to the server, constantly nags you to subscribe, and the most recent change to the free version removed radar coverage for my town.
