Very useful

I use this for whenever im storm chasing!

HATE the new update!!

As some have said before, with the new update you can’t see the severe weather overlays. I have used this app faithfully for years, but will now be looking for a new app. I’m so confused as to why they would update and take away key features that made the app great. Really terrible decision.

Terrible update!

I can no longer get the past and future radar loop. You can’t overlay warnings. I don’t even see the ability to get tornado warnings anymore. And the traffic portion no longer has the find me feature. They took a decent app and made it useless. I hope they didn’t pay someone for this.

used to be good

the update they just did sucks
doesn’t even have a current radar only past or future
it was fine the way it was

Always wrong!!!!!

The meteorologist at this station is always wrong about the weather! I awoke this morning to an alert of a heat advisory and it’s been raining all day! How do the people really get a check for being wrong 80% of the time! This app is JUNK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
