### 5/5 — Fantastic app

*2026-08-17, version 2.5.6*

I have used multiple apps for estimating weather on motorcycle rides and this one is by far the best. Helps me calculate when to depart and what I might expect also gives alternate routes.

### 1/5 — Severe thunderstorm in my route.

*2026-08-02, version 2.5.6*

I am taking shelter for a severe thunderstorm warning with no warning from this app while navigating. Couldn’t see the road with such heavy rain even with hazard lights on. Many cars with me took cover at next exit at a gas station where I am learning a Thunderstorm Warning in this area for 30 minutes and Flood Warning for an hour. 

This is a major interstate and this app said “light rain”.  I do not trust this app for safety!!!

### 5/5 — great for motorcycle trips

*2026-07-31, version 2.5.6*

Such a useful app when you want to check the weather on long road trips when riding all day.

### 5/5 — Helpful app!

*2026-07-30, version 2.5.6*

Great for planning travels to avoid weather hazards, especially when traveling with our dogs and horses.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-07-30, version 2.5.6*

Would highly recommend!!

This is one of the best weather apps I’ve used. It’s simple, very detailed, and gives you a ton of info right at your fingertips without having to dig around. For the price you pay, you really can’t beat it. I’ve tried several others and keep coming back to this one. The only bummer is I was invited to do a 20‑minute survey and somehow got kicked out, which I would’ve loved to have done.

### 1/5 — Best app for a long drive

*2026-07-29, version 2.5.6*

Love the ability to see the storm cells live on Apple CarPlay and know when the weather will hit along the way.

### 5/5 — Checkout the road

*2026-07-27, version 2.5.6*

Best app for traveling Wi to Al

### 2/5 — Not great

*2026-07-26, version 2.5.6*

The app does a sub-par job when traveling overnight. Seems as though the app cannot differentiate between what’s tomorrow or the following day, which led to incorrect weather.

### 5/5 — Great radar for travel

*2026-07-20, version 2.5.6*

App works great with CarPlay also gives storm directions of travel with arrows to assist in driving around or threw the storm.

### 1/5 — Integration in Scenic leider nicht mehr zu gebrauchen

*2026-07-19*

Die Integration in Scenic war früher top. Leider wurde die kostenlose Variante beim Absprung aus Scenic so kastriert, dass nur ein Stopp möglich ist, und damit nicht mehr für geplante Routen anwendbar ist. Echt schade.
