### 1/5 — Worthless

*2026-01-12*

This app only opens if you are connected to WiFi… in other words unless you are connected to an ISP it doesn’t open!!! Worthless!

### 2/5 — Great when it works

*2025-08-02*

Mostly app doesn’t open-great when it does

### 3/5 — Kind of works🤷🏻‍♀️

*2024-09-01*

It tends to freeze half the time.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2023-09-12*

App crashes when opening 90% of the time.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2023-09-08*

This has been a fantastic app for getting local alerts quicker than more national apps, and the radar tends to be more accurate than my other ones. Definitely going to continue using it!

If I had one suggestion, it would be to perhaps make a Dark Mode for it to be easier on the eyes. Great job on your mobile app, guys!

### 5/5 — StormTracker 13 Rocks!!!!

*2022-04-26*

I enjoyed the new StormTracker 13 Weather app.

### 1/5 — Bring back the old version!

*2022-04-25*

I’ve used this app for years but this new version is awful! I’m deleting it.

### 1/5 — Ads ads ads

*2020-08-24*

The app is ok except the very annoying ads.  If they would be removed then over 5 stars!

### 1/5 — Not working

*2018-10-20*

In past 2 weeks have tried to see radar but when go to that screen it briefly shows rain but when touch to see the future it goes blank.  Today tried, same thing happened so deleted app and when reinstalled, then when tap the app it starts to open then closes itself.  Just deleted all together. Makes me sad.

### 1/5 — Broke

*2018-01-17*

This app won't even open. Fix it or pull it.
