### 1/5 — Horrible

*2023-06-19*

Awful

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work at all

*2023-04-30*

This doesn’t work at all! Tried it on a Mac and an iPad! It’s a rip off! I want my money back

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. Our apology, there is a problem getting the information and it takes us more time to address this issue.

### 1/5 — MISTAKE DO NOT BUY

*2023-02-21*

I thought this was the NOAA one and accidentlyt downloaded it. This app doesn't work and shouldn't be on the market scamming money.

### 1/5 — Apple TV NOPE

*2021-12-16*

Does not work at all on Apple TV.  Impossible to navigate.  No ability to zoom that I found.  Just crap.  Does't look like apple is going to let me request a refund, so....that is unfortunate.

### 5/5 — Great App!!

*2021-06-29, version 21.30*

This app works great on my MacBook Air M1. Rather easy to navigate... No issue... Just wish it had the ability to use my location for weather and radar specific to my area... I wish too the refresh frequency occurred more... But simply put... The app works great and worth the couple dollars!!

### 1/5 — A complete hoax

*2021-01-31*

This is by far the absolute most in-your-face fraud I’ve seen.

### 1/5 — Wish I had seen the ratings prior to purchase

*2020-12-23*

This plain just doesn't work, with the exception of the NOAA weather radio part.  I have no idea how Apple can allow such worthless stuff on their App Store.  Shame on them.  I thought the days of caveat emptor were behind us.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. Please update the app. It is updated to include the latest radar images.

### 1/5 — Nothing Happens

*2020-12-22*

Load up the program and nothing happens. I get a list of states, cities etc. Show a map but no weather. No radar, no temps to graphics, nothing.
After awhile it crashes.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. Please update the app. It is updated to include the latest radar images.

### 1/5 — terrible

*2020-05-25*

terrible

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. Please update the app. It is updated to include the latest radar images.

### 1/5 — Now much

*2018-05-29*

This app is not very good.  I know it was only $1.99 so I get what you pay for.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your update. We have updated the app with many new features. In addition, the mac app and Apple TV app are also available as part of universal purchase. Please check it out and let us know.
