### 2/5 — The new upgrade is a downgrade

*2026-08-26, version 4.0.18*

I’ve paid for this app for years. I cancelled my subscription. It’s not user friendly anymore and forget looking at other locations. You click on it and it gives you a giant box of info that overlays the map. The second you close it, it zooms back to your current location. I gave up and cancelled my subscription.

### 4/5 — Wthrgeek

*2026-08-22, version 4.0.18*

The updated Premium version is really informative, and easy to customize. Living in South FL and relying on radar 60 miles away, in Melbourne, is fraught with inaccuracies when it comes to rain forecast most of the time. TV news/weather sources south of us…leave a lot to be desired. 

I love this app with all the great info provided along with the map. Having a “feels like” temp is hard to find much anywhere, too. I use a ton of weather apps…am a NWS volunteer. 

I prefer to have as much timely, accurate info as possible to give me a full picture of the weather at any point in time. Particularly important in hurricane season! And as an avid, busy gardener, I rely on this to know how to proceed, too.

Only glitch in new Premium version when checking weather in the hours ahead, it keeps stopping just a couple of hours out instead (like standard version). I have to delete app and re-load it. Has happened several times.

### 4/5 — Storm Radar

*2026-08-22, version 4.0.18*

Always good

### 3/5 — Sell the app

*2026-08-22, version 4.0.18*

I’d gladly pay to buy the app, but a subscription is a hard no. That said, the pop ups selling the subscription are brutal to the point of making it unusable.

### 2/5 — Not accurate

*2026-08-21, version 3.32*

The timing seems to be off. The radar affects once storm has passed. Indicates incorrect weather

### 4/5 — Love the app but…

*2026-08-20, version 4.0.18*

The new look is cool but seams to do to much from to many places. Get rid of all the options and boxes on the screen. Put them i. A menu off screen. Keep the data but ditch the clutter.

### 5/5 — Timely Alerts

*2026-08-17, version 4.0.18*

Living in a rural area it’s important to be alerted to storms. I love the radar-window, alert warnings, and  all the features that let you see what’s coming in real-time.

### 5/5 — Storm Radar: Weather Tracker

*2026-08-16, version 4.0.18*

Mostly accurate and I appreciate that but not so much that I want to pay for it.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2026-08-16, version 3.32*

Your app is excellent. Never breaks like other radar apps.

### 4/5 — Lag time between radar and real life weather conditions

*2026-08-16, version 4.0.18*

I agree the app is a bit too busy now and I’m often getting pop ups to other locations when I accidentally touch the screen. What I’ve really been noticing is the lag between what the current radar shows (and the screen has the exact time on it) and what current conditions really are. For instance, a few minutes ago, radar showed nothing over where I live. But it had just started raining hard. The same thing happened last week during severe weather, too. The data showing up on the app is starting to be questionable.

### 5/5 — Storm photo

*2026-08-15, version 4.0.18*

Excellent

### 3/5 — App keeps crashing and closing out

*2026-08-15, version 4.0.18*

App has been crashing lately just closes out abruptly I went to the App Store to make sure I had the latest update, but there are no updates yet

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Return old app!

*2026-08-23, version 4.0.18*

I used this app before the change. Now it's just terrible. I canceled my subscription.

### 1/5 — Constant upgrade pop up

*2026-08-22, version 4.0.18*

Need to know the weather fast?  Don’t open this app.  Start screen is an upgraded ad.  Then if you dare touch the radar you get another upgrade ad.  

Now you are paywalling with annoyance.  So I will just delete this app and use the base weather app.

### 1/5 — New version is awful

*2026-08-22, version 4.0.18*

I have been using this app for years. Used to be so good. New version is awful and not giving the proper radar i was used to. Impossible to figure how to set it to work even with asking Gemini for help. Bye Bue storm radar

### 1/5 — Radar

*2026-08-17, version 3.32*

The radar is currently not available and is not working!

### 1/5 — Was great, now sucks

*2026-08-17, version 4.0.18*

The new format is cumbersome at best. Almost useless. No scale on the Y- axis for % precipitation. Hard to read days. The radar time slider has no "now" option and is impossible to control.  In summary, it sucks!

### 1/5 — Not showing storms that are currently happening

*2026-08-17, version 4.0.18*

I’m not sure why I pay for this app. It is currently storming at my house, but the “Storm
radar” doesn’t show anything happening. This isn’t the first time this has happened. Very disappointing

### 1/5 — Mike in Tampa

*2026-08-16, version 4.0.18*

The app was really good before they “improved” it. Loss of functionality with this version

### 1/5 — Worthless App Now

*2026-08-16, version 4.0.18*

This use to be a good app,  but with all of the resent changes,  it has become too cumbersome.  I tried to hold out and just about the time i started figuring the where everything was, they changed it again.  I just canceled my subscription.

### 1/5 — Used to be great

*2026-08-13, version 4.0.18*

Cancelled my renewal for this app because of how awful it has gotten. The interface is way too busy now and I don’t need AI help. This used to be my go to app for weather but now I just get frustrated whenever I use it.

### 1/5 — Time bar

*2026-08-13, version 3.32*

Time bar at bottom fails to appear for the most part. I keep having to delete the app and re-upload it to get back to original settings. Sometimes when I do have the time bar it will play forward but nothing changes on the map. For instance we have a tropical storm that will hit us tomorrow, but nothing, no clouds etc. are seen on the map.
