### 5/5 — I like this app a lot

*2026-08-21, version 5.1.7*

You are the best app ever because you helped me yesterday no, if there was a tornado where I am

### 3/5 — PAY

*2026-08-14, version 5.1.7*

Why do you have to pay to get alert like WHY? I like this app but it would be better if you didn’t have to pay

### 5/5 — This is for Mike

*2026-08-13, version 5.1.7*

Hey Mike I saw that help thing when I got on the app

### 4/5 — Great

*2026-08-12, version 5.1.7*

Unlike the other weather apps that you can only use if you pay a price every month this app gets you everything for free but some things you have to pay for. Also let’s go Mets

### 5/5 — Thanks!

*2026-08-11, version 5.1.6*

Really is a great app for me as a storm guy

### 5/5 — Wow

*2026-08-11, version 5.1.6*

Shows you tornado warnings form over six months ago and can show you current tornado warnings and US tornado history and Canada’s tornado history over all a great at

### 5/5 — Best weather app I’ve found

*2026-08-11, version 5.1.6*

Loads quick and refreshes warning data quicker than what the apps. Living in the state with the most tornadoes this year it’s been nice to be able to see what coming. We live outside the range of any warning sirens and NOAA warnings can be a little vague as to the location of severe weather sometimes.

### 5/5 — LOOOVE THIS APP!

*2026-08-11, version 5.1.6*

For someone with server weather anxiety, I swear by this app! It alerts me right away when severe weather is coming! I am able to add 5 locations to check so I always have my loved ones updated right away to warn them and make sure they are in a safe space! My kids school is on there since I work an hour away so weather is different out that way’ I love it.

### 5/5 — Awesome App!

*2026-08-11, version 5.1.6*

This app helped my husband and me stay aware of tornadoes in our area. If I could give it 10 stars, I would in a heartbeat! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It is very accurate and extremely helpful. We highly recommend it!

Thank you! 😊

### 3/5 — Text on Maps

*2026-08-10, version 5.1.5*

The text on the maps for city names are not bold enough (not readable).

LOCAL TAB POLISH • Snow risk now reports the deepest accumulation with a real chance (like "70% chance of 8+ inches"), not just 1 inch • Switching search radius no longer makes the screen jump, and previously viewed results load instantly • The tab opens fresh at the top each time you return • Fixed an issue where the Local tab could get stuck loading on some Android phones

PLUS • Learn section fully updated with a guide to everything the Local tab can do • Android 16 support and under-the-hood reliability improvements
