### 3/5 — Stopped working

*2026-06-07, version 2.3*

This was a very very good app. Very accurate for all precipitation in the Uk. I found I handy for outdoor sports etc. Sadly overnight it’s stopped working. Have deleted and redownloaded, no joy. Also the in app help section doesn’t work. I’m assuming it’s just died :(

### 4/5 — It’s Good

*2024-12-28, version 2.3*

This use to be an accurate app, within 5 mins of snow fall, the weather map can’t see ahead a few days, 
Needs updating as it’s showing the weather from yesterday.  Before you could see 2/3 days ahead on the radar

### 4/5 — Great, but one thing

*2024-11-16, version 2.3*

Amazing app overall for short term plans since it actually uses radar, but at 2h away, the app turns to normal weather models for predictions, honestly it would be extremely useful for meteorologists for this short term, high resolution model to go out further and it would probably earn you lots of money too if you put the weather model on websites

### 5/5 — Snow Radar

*2023-11-30*

Downloaded this app some years ago now still the best snow warning app out there definitely worth five stars

### 5/5 — Best snow info

*2023-11-30, version 2.2*

Always been really accurate in the 24hr window especially. Really useful app, especially if needing to travel

### 5/5 — When you need real time rain or snow forecast A1 app!

*2023-07-22, version 2.2*

I’ve had this app for a long time now and I can time my trips walks with my dog, to the hour for rain. I’ve tried other apps but none as good as this one- Excellent app!

### 4/5 — Radar

*2022-06-27, version 2.1*

Does exactly what it says on the tin, I find it fairly accurate so will keep using

### 5/5 — Great accuracy

*2021-02-13, version 2.1*

Great wee Ap

### 5/5 — It was awsome I like it

*2021-01-13, version 2.1*

Wow I love it
And it is awsome and keep updates so fast

### 5/5 — My most useful app

*2019-12-28, version 2.1*

Snow Radar is the best app I have, providing accurate forecasting of rain/snow which can be relied upon for any outside activity eg walking the dogs or sawing logs. Outstanding accuracy and clarity.

### 5/5 — Very useful app

*2019-06-13, version 2.1*

Great app for viewing real-time forecasts of snow and rain. It’s better than other apps of this type as it gives a long range forecast too. I use it a lot.

### 5/5 — Great app used. All the time

*2019-01-29, version 2.1*

V accurate but as maps high resolution, needs good WiFi. Can take a while if reception poor

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2018-10-26, version 2.1*

Works very well, very good at predicting at least the first 2 hour accurately, and a good insight for several days ahead.

### 5/5 — Accurate

*2018-08-15, version 2.1*

A brilliant app primarily for snow forecasting but excellent for any precipitation. Accurate to the minute.

### 5/5 — Unnervingly accurate

*2018-02-28, version 1.5*

Takes some time to load up the data when you first start the app - but it is loading several days worth of info!

I’ve noted it being accurate to within a minute of snow showers hitting my location, so I can’t honestly give it any less than 5 stars! 

Also accurate with the snow / sleet / rain prediction. 

Great app

### 1/5 — Can't see days ahead

*2026-04-26, version 2.3*

I used to use this app to plan activities as you could see accurate rain forecasts 5 days ahead. A recent update means you can only see a few hours ahead now.

### 1/5 — Utter waste of money

*2019-02-15, version 2.1*

It’s the most inaccurate weather app I’ve used. I’ve asked for a refund but unsurprisingly they haven’t responded.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2019-02-01, version 2.1*

Nothing is working, this app doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Inaccurate

*2019-01-31, version 2.1*

Quite simply it is very inaccurate. Right now (08.20 on 31 Jan). It shows that it is snowing accords western Ireland. I’m in the area under the red/green and there is no precipitation at all

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2017-01-12, version 1.5*

This all is rubbish. If reading this the radar is way off.

### 1/5 — Never been correct yet!

*2016-03-02, version 1.1*

I've owned this App for 2+ years. Living in West Yorkshire we tend to get the snow first. This crap App hasn't forecasted the snow correct yet!? I use many weather apps but this one you must avoid. Especially as it is one of the more expensive apps. Enjoy the weather. 👍

### 1/5 — Truthfully - poor

*2015-01-28, version 1.1*

Thought I would try this as we had a sports training session tonight and snow was likely.  Firstly it said snow at 7.15, then 7.30, then 8pm and it didn't snow until 10 - and not the red area of snowfall predicted - just some flakes.  Not accurate enough!

### 1/5 — Inaccurate

*2014-12-26, version 1.1*

During snowfall reports on the ground today (Boxing Day 2014) it has been snowing for over an hour across the midlands - this app suggests it is raining. If it was a free app I wouldn't mind, but for a paid for app I expect it to be accurate. Poor.

### 2/5 — Wrong

*2017-12-10, version 1.5*

Only needs to do one thing; tell me if it’s going to snow where I am. Today it was consistently wrong. It said sleet quite clearly all round my location. Yet it was snowing for hours. Dented my confidence in this app. It’s companion app I have used for some time, Home & Dry, and I have found it reliable and accurate. Which makes this fail surprising and disappointing.

### 2/5 — Needs improvement

*2017-12-08, version 1.5*

On the whole ok, but.....radar is 4-5 miles out as said it would snow and wasn’t snowing.

This is so useful for forward planning my week.  Such a good app that has not let me down - ever.

### 5/5 — Great app but bug

*2025-01-08, version 2.3*

Can you please fix the fact the Time on the slider doesn’t show properly on the new iOS. Otherwise highly recommend app!

### 5/5 — Brrrrr-illiant!

*2025-01-04, version 2.3*

One of the clearest radar maps out there. Sorry about the pun.

### 5/5 — Perfect app

This is so useful for forward planning my week.  Such a good app that has not let me down - ever.

### 5/5 — Wonderful app

*2024-02-22, version 2.3*

This app is always accurate and has helped me to plan so many trips.  Would be lost without it.

### 5/5 — Best weather app

*2024-02-22, version 2.3*

This is the best weather app I have - I use it all the time!

### 5/5 — Great little find

This app is brilliant. Much more accurate than other weather apps.

### 5/5 — Very good app for accurate real time rain/snow

*2024-01-12, version 2.2*

As above

### 5/5 — Outdoor stuff

*2023-12-09, version 2.2*

Had this app for a good number of years, highly accurate, occasionally the odd blip, we do lots of outdoor stuff, off-roading, greenlaning, walking & gardening, you can plan your days out around the weather predictions, the family often call me to say “ what’s the weather tomorrow Dad”
