I would love to just have notifications from my current location if that doesn’t seem to be an option. Another thing that’s really irritating is the future forecast when you look at the radar it just goes into a huge blob so it doesn’t really show anything moving forward. I had high hopes for this app. But at this point, it’s more of a hassle than help. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t show future *2026-05-24, version 3.19* I have 3 other apps.. I’m a kayak tour guide in Key West and obviously need to know if rain is coming. There will be a storm cloud on the radar (like now at 5:30am) but anything past that is completely clear, while other apps show the lingering storm cloud. Can this app seriously not predict that the storm isn’t going to magically disappear? That’d be great, but if I only used this app, I’d be showing up for a sunrise tour but having to send guests home. Come on guys, this needs to be fixed. I just updated it, too. ### 4/5 — G *2026-05-18, version 3.18.2* "I really enjoyed using the app, but since it doesn’t have a dedicated iPad version, it’s not very convenient for me to use on my tablet. I hope an iPad-optimized version becomes available in the future. ### 3/5 — Test Mode *2026-04-28, version 3.18.2* 4/27/26- just downloaded during the big storms and warnings. Was skeptical due to reviews. There’s a FAINT “X” at the top left of the screen (Apple) to get past the pay wall and use free version. Radar tracks the last 40 mins in 10 min intervals. So right now it’s 11:57p and I can only see 11:20-11:50p in radar. All forecast is below and like most generic forecasts. So far it probably will not replace my go to of Weather4You. Wanted an easy to use app, this is easy… but W4Y has way more features and is free even if browser only. Will update as I continue exploring and comparing. ### 1/5 — Had hope *2026-04-17, version 3.18.2* I saw this when we had some bad weather coming our way. Thinking it’d be perfect to stay ahead and have an app for this kind of thing. Once I downloaded I realized you get nothing without paying. The free weather app on your phone does the same if not a little more. I’m disappointed since I had very high hopes. ### 1/5 — I moved *2026-04-14, version 3.18.2* Massachusetts to Florida And now I’ve moved to Pennsylvania, and I don’t know how to stop getting weather reports for Massachusetts and Florida ### 1/5 — Weather app *2026-04-13, version 3.18.2* This is so outdated. We need better come on lol ### 1/5 — DO NOT DOWNLOAD *2026-04-04, version 3.18.2* As a 18 year old who loves the science begins storms this app definitely does NOT have the right ways of "tracking" a tornado, along with the storm cells. The storm cells are something you have to track with a specific type of device. ### 1/5 — 😊 ., *2026-03-11, version 3.16.2* 🤩 ., ., ., ., 🫵🏾 😉 ### 1/5 — DO NOT USE OR PURCHASE *2026-03-11, version 3.16.2* They said on the Apple application that you do a three day free trial. They charge you right then and there. The application you cannot use without subscribing. I spoke with Apple and they told me my money could not be refunded and to speak to SKAI weather. I contact them and they’re stating the trial period is only through Apple. No one is giving me my money back even though I canceled the subscription less then 24 hours of trying it. DO NOT PURCHASE OR USE THIS APP! The warnings come through the phone, as soon as I look, the warnings and watches have been canceled right when they’re issued the warnings. If you’re looking for a weather app that won’t charge you like they did to me, do WDRB ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2026-03-11, version 3.16.2* I installed this, clicked to do the 3 day free trial, immediately charged for the $29.99. Now it is stuck on a page with a continue button but won’t go anywhere. Should have read the reviews 1st. ### 1/5 — Fraud *2026-01-26, version 3.16* I have canceled and unsubscribe and they will still charge you ### 3/5 — Big snowstorm today *2026-01-25, version 3.16* This ain’t no snow storm we got less than a half inch where’s all the snow you’re talking about? I’m in Knox County Indiana and we got a dusting at most. ### 3/5 — Too Soon To Tell *2025-11-29, version 3.16* I just downloaded and got the review request came up before the app did. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not accurate. Paying for nothing useful *2026-08-14, version 3.20* Waste of money ### 1/5 — App non functional *2026-08-05, version 3.20* Home Screen / Setting non functional ### 1/5 — Poor information *2026-07-27, version 3.20* Not properly updated ### 1/5 — BEWARE *2026-07-26, version 3.20* Signed up for the FREE trial. They charged me right away. I filed a dispute with Apple and it got declined. Shady! ### 1/5 — Not Good *2026-06-27, version 3.20* Battery HOG!! Sends same alerts out repeatedly can’t close in background. Radar not very good. Just an overall bad app. I really wanted to like it. ### 1/5 — Need to paid to use anything useful in app *2026-06-27, version 3.20* Cant do much of anything with out paying!!! ### 1/5 — Have to pay *2026-06-25, version 3.20* Will not let me on unless I put in payment information. ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2026-06-05, version 3.19* I’ve paid for premium but I can’t see what its value is. The forecast is clumsy and hard to access when I can even get the app to open. I’ve cancelled but I doubt I get my money back even though I subscribed less than an hour ago. Waste of $29. ### 1/5 — Not free *2026-05-18, version 3.18.2* Says you can use it for free but you can’t ### 1/5 — Mary *2026-05-07, version 3.18.2* It says that you can use it for free that you don’t have to have pay for the premium, etc., etc., but there’s no way to use it for free. It just says free for three days then you got to pay it automatically will start charging you so that doesn’t make any sense when the creator or whoever it is, it keeps saying to everybody’s review that you can’t use it for free meaning no charge to use the app. It’s only the premium if you use that you pay. That’s a lie cause there’s nowhere on there that says you can use it for free gives you the option of the only free it shows three days that it starts charging so I’m gonna put this out there. Nobody use it because it’s a lie. It’s all a lie. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — GREAT! *2026-07-05, version 3.20* GREAT! ❤️🙏🏼😊👏 ### 5/5 — Weather *2026-07-01, version 3.20* My and my fellow Girl Scouts love it ### 5/5 — Sakai- noaa weather radar *2026-01-24, version 3.16* Awesome ### 5/5 — Owner *2026-01-05, version 3.16* Nice ### 5/5 — Cool *2025-11-15, version 3.15* I like this app ### 5/5 — On The Dot *2025-11-10, version 3.15* The weather updates are very Good.
