### 3/5 — Nice having radar on route

*2026-09-03, version 2.5.9*

Adding radar to the route is nice, my only complaint is I think the image is too sensitive.   Many times it shows rain in an area the simply is not there.

### 2/5 — Missing expected features

*2026-08-23, version 2.5.6*

Multiple stops has max of 24 hours,  needs at least 2 or more days to map out a longer route.  Also on shorter drives we experienced bogus info about weather most days we used it.  Switched to RV Weather and it’s a lot better, not perfect but better results closer to conditions experienced.

### 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 planning tool

*2026-07-14, version 2.5.6*

This app helps me plan road trips and has saved trips by giving us options to get around bad weather or road conditions.

### 5/5 — Useful Tool

*2026-07-14, version 2.5.6*

Saves us time and worry. We refer to it to plan our day when traveling. Love it!!!

### 5/5 — Andiamo!!!

*2026-07-14, version 2.5.6*

Let’s go! You can see what you are driving into and chose your route. Slide your time to maybe miss the weather. Enjoyable, and I have wished for this for a long time!

### 5/5 — Motorrad Man

*2026-07-08, version 2.5.6*

outstanding for planning and determining routes for motorcycle touring !

### 5/5 — Worth the premium pay,

*2026-07-03, version 2.5.6*

Used when in Alaska for a bike trip, found it very helpful

### 4/5 — Not sure what you mean by that

*2026-07-01, version 2.5.6*

Bad

### 3/5 — Lots of work to do

*2026-06-28, version 2.5.6*

I have used this on a couple long routes. There are a few bugs and some design changes needed. 
1. You can’t turn voice directions off. 2. Occasionally the voice directions just stop working and once I was spoken to in a foreign language. 
3. Voice directions are computer generated and robotic. 
4. Despite setting Google maps as my choice for overlay I always got Apple Maps instead (whilst using CarPlay)
5. The temperature symbols are so big and overlay important interchanges when viewing map when zoomed out. 
6. This has potential to be a really good app, but it’s not there yet and I’m not paying for an app that is still very unrefined.

### 1/5 — Cannot connect to CarPlay

*2026-08-24, version 2.5.7*

Maybe I’m an idiot, but I cannot for the life of me get my iPhone to get the green un that allows me to connect to my 2023 Chevrolet CarPlay. 

Extremely frustrated. 

Can anybody out there? Tell me how to do this?

### 1/5 — Hasn’t been accurate

*2026-08-23, version 2.5.6*

The past several times I’ve used it, the weather indicated on the app is not what is happening in real time. So, not very helpful, really. Won’t be renewing.

### 1/5 — Billing for the wrong amount

*2026-08-20, version 2.5.6*

I purchased one month for $4.99 and was billed $34.99 three days later. after purchase of 4.99
My bank canceled that 34.99 scam be careful.

### 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!!!

### 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.

### 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.

### 1/5 — Gotta pay

*2026-07-10, version 2.5.6*

No thanks! ✌🏻

### 1/5 — No Free version

*2026-07-08, version 2.5.6*

before paying for the app, make sure you search the reviews by most recent.  Just looking at the 4.8 on stars makes you think it’s still very good.   But based on the reviews sorted by most recently, it does not look like it is.

### 1/5 — Hard to cancel

*2026-07-05, version 2.5.6*

Bait and Switch

### 1/5 — Do not pay for this App!! (And creator:  you need to fix this!!!)

*2026-07-02, version 2.5.6*

I purchased the pro version of the app because I drive a lot for my job and to visit friends and family.  I recently asked for a route because I was worried about flooding.  I live near a major freeway and the app should automatically pick that as the route.  Instead, it has me driving as the crow flies.  In addition, all the times displayed were wrong (this is new).  

I can’t change the route by adding points (all the points are also placed on the previous route it gave me).  I tried just selecting the freeway and despite that, it had me driving along the frontage road.  I also can’t drag the route where I would like it.  This is frustrating and has happened before.  Surely the app could be changed to allow those of us who purchase it to drag the route where we’d like it.  For flooding, severe weather or road closures it is important to have the route that will be driven.  

This is why I spent good money on this app.  

Oh, and btw hitting app support just takes you to a web page, not to where you can send a message.  That is why I added a new title to my review and changed the rating downwards.

### 5/5 — The best trip weather app!!!

*2026-09-05, version 2.5.9*

My go to for car trips. I know what to expect, how long it’s going to rain or snow. It’s fantastic!

### 5/5 — Corrected information

*2026-09-05, version 2.5.9*

**updated to 5 stars after correct names were added to the map. Thank you to the developers for doing what you can-I understand you cant remove the base map but thank you for your addition. 

Deleted after bodies of water now have incorrect names.

### 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.

### 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.

### 5/5 — Checkout the road

*2026-07-27, version 2.5.6*

Best app for traveling Wi to Al

### 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.

### 5/5 — Fantastic for Travel Anywhere

*2026-07-16, version 2.5.6*

This app is incredible! I can set my departure time and see just what the conditions will be all along my route. Don’t like what I see?, I just pop in a different time until I know the best time to leave.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2026-07-15, version 2.5.6*

Excellent for road tripping or commuting long distances. The weather advisory notices are VERY helpful to gage how bad the roads are going to get and for how long. Also knowing where the closed roads are before you get there is very helpful.
