l’appli est vraiment très précis, bravo au développeur

### 5/5 — Super

*2025-07-20, version 2.0.0*

Très réactif 
Les bugs initiaux sont corrigés 
Notifications prévisionnelles ? Est ce possible ?

Bravo pour cette appli indispensable en été, surtout avec l’augmentation des orages en fréquence et intensité !

### 5/5 — Lightning

*2024-11-08*

I've got so many weather apps and all of them requires a pro subscription to deliver lightning notifications but this one is completely free and has live activity so yeah this is a phenomenal app and recommend giving it a try you won't regret it

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2024-07-31*

For being a free app this has such a clean interface and even includes live activities. 

Definitely worth the cost of free!

**Developer response:** Thank you for your very kind words 🙏 I’m very happy to hear that you enjoy the app!

### 5/5 — Parfait !

*2024-07-20*

L’application parfaite pour se tenir informé sur les zones orageuses : on définit des lieux à surveiller et on reçoit des alertes dès le premier coup de tonnerre. On peut même consulter les précédentes zones d’impact.
Cette application est vraiment pratique et en plus, elle est gratuite.

### 4/5 — Appli fonctionnel !

*2024-06-20*

Application fonctionnel qui n’a pas à rougir face a ses concurrentes…
Simple à l’usage !
Question : 
Serait il possible de diminuer la taille des symboles domicile travail svp ? Je les trouve un peu gros ! Merci

**Developer response:** Merci pour cet avis très encourageant ! N’hésitez pas à me contacter à l’adresse contact@snopia.net pour en discuter plus simplement.

### 5/5 — App très bien pensée mais perfectible

*2024-04-14*

Franchement je trouve l’idée sensationnelle. À se demander pourquoi on a pas pensé plus tôt à réaliser une app comme ça. Mais je constate dès les cinq premières minutes d’utilisation qu’elle plante quand je veux créer ma première alerte. Je tape une adresse et valide, et beam l’appli plante. Je recommence la création de ma première alerte en cliquant cette fois-ci sur « ma position actuelle » et pareil l’appli plante. J’ai réussi à créer une alerte en cherchant manuellement mon emplacement sur la carte 🗺️ et en cliquant sur « placer ici ». J’ai créé une surveillance de lieu mais je ne sais pas comment l’arrêter. Pas intuitif. En corrigeant ces petits bugs, cette application peut vite devenir une pépite !

Maj le 14/04/2024 :
Merci Benjamin pour votre réactivité et la mise en place efficace des améliorations et des corrections.
Elles répondent toutes aux points que j’avais mentionnés. Je mets 5⭐️. Merci
Oui je vous contacterai à votre adresse si je pense à d’autres idées.

**Developer response:** Bonjour, merci pour votre retour détaillé et constructif. Une prochaine mise à jour viendra rapidement corriger ces problèmes. Si vous avez d’autres soucis ou suggestions, n’hésitez pas à me contacter directement à l’adresse contact@snopia.net 🙂

Maj le 17/04/2024 :
Merci pour vos encouragements suite à la mise à jour de l’app !
