### 2/5 — Inaccurate

*2026-08-07, version 6.2.512*

This is one of the worst weather apps around. The forecast changes drastically buried times a day as if it was only guessing at what might actually happen. It’s currently show thunderstorms and lightning over my location but it’s sunny and blue skies all the way.

### 5/5 — The Best

*2026-07-21, version 6.2.512*

Love the app; I always know what’s coming and it’s accurate! Love the weather TEAM. Thank you

### 4/5 — Stormy Weather

*2026-06-22, version 6.2.512*

The radar maps are detailed and are helpful, especially when they’re tracking nearby storms.

### 3/5 — Can’t click Title on newer IPhone but this is a Weather option. Please give us an hour by hour

*2026-06-17, version 6.2.512*

Necessity over Us and Western Wi

### 1/5 — Alarmist much

*2026-06-16, version 6.2.512*

There is no app support it takes you to somewhere where it wants you to Sign up. There’s no one to talk to no one to report to.

I’m tired of these notifications where it says heavy thunderstorm or whatever is headed your way. And then you actually go to the app and there is no such thing happening.  I don’t need you telling me lies quit sending alarmist notifications when they aren’t real and do not apply to my area. Yes, I do have my area set. Why don’t you actually make a way where you could actually reach to and talk to someone or text someone in support?

### 3/5 — Daily

*2026-06-12, version 6.2.512*

Great crew/staff. 
Report wrong!
Suggest you review your earlier forecasts 
Not even close

### 1/5 — App crashes

*2026-05-29, version 6.1.401*

After the last update, radar no longer updates. If you try and move the time slider, the app crashes.

### 4/5 — Recent Update Not Good

*2026-02-21, version 6.1.401*

I have always loved this app, but the recent update has made it less lovable.  There is extra clutter on the screen, and if I switch to a different view the app no longer remembers my custom settings and I have to select my custom map again.  Surely you could have added the 24 hour future radar without our having to save and select our “custom map.”  I liked it much better when it just saved my last selections automatically.  Also, the earthquake feature now seems to only show very recent earthquakes instead of showing those from the past 24 hours, and when I tap on an earthquake icon to get more information it no longer tells the location.  I wish you would do a new update that starts with the previous version and just adds the “24 hour future” radar.  If you can’t do that, just give us the previous version the way it used to be, with the full earthquake information and without all the current clutter.

### 1/5 — Disgusting

*2026-01-30, version 6.1.401*

Fix the stupid update now. I'm sick of it. Hate the white at the bottom, and hate how it won't go wide view.

### 1/5 — Never connects

*2025-08-22, version 5.17.706*

This app doesn’t seem to connect with my WiFi and everything thing else is. Crazy
