Too much

Annoying

The new ownership ruined it

I used to really enjoy and rely on this app, I would recommend to anyone. But since the update and ownership change this app sucks. The interface changes are Atrocious, the tracking is in accurate. I will be looking for a new app and canceling this subscription.

Great weather app

I’m a great fan of weather apps and have quite a number of them. This app is by far the best. Not only rain but wind and wind speed. Also it gives you many hours into the future which is a great help for planning outdoor activities. Top quality. Recommend.

Used to be brilliant not anymore.

After years of using this app the latest update has totally ruined it, I will be removing my subscription immediately.

Charged me immediately on start of trial

Signed up for the 3 day free trial; supposedly converting to $5.99/week after that. The second I signed up it charged me $9.99.

Do not trust the supposed “free trial.”

Too expensive now

The free weather radar was really good but it is now £2.99 per week so will not be using it any more! Plenty of other free apps available.

Great Source

All the weather details that you need!

Dans quel sens souffle le vent ?

Étonnamment, l’application ne permet plus de connaître la direction du vent dans les prévisions, ce qui limite sérieusement son intérêt.

Response from developer

Merci pour vos retours honnêtes. Nous avons reconstruit Ora pour rendre votre prévision quotidienne plus rapide à lire et nous continuons à l'affiner. L'application fournit des informations sur le vent dans l'onglet radar sur la carte ainsi que dans les prévisions d'aujourd'hui et de 14 jours. Si vous pouviez nous faire part de ce qui vous manque à support@impalastudios.com, cela serait précieux pour notre amélioration.

Sneaky - Subscription only

If you try to use the app, you have to subscribe.

Most consistent weather app ☀️☔️💨

I’ve used this app for a long time and in comparison with others it is consistently the best, most reliable forecast. So much information if you want it but also for quick daily overview. Highly recommend this app ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Hate the new interface

I loved the simplicity of the old interface, especially the graph that showed anticipated precipitation amounts by hour. This new interface basically converts the app to a copy of Weather Channel or Weather Bug.

Absolutely appalling

People don’t pay for something you already pay for with your taxes! I have used this app for years and now it will get deleted. I refuse to pay for a service my taxes already pay for. I get having a subscription for extras such as forecasts and things, but charging a subscription fee for public safety!! NOAA is a government agency, taxes pay for it… this app even says “NOAA network” we already pay for it!!! Shame on you.

Ora

The ORA update is awful!!! Time to find new weather. Not sure why people got to mess with things that weren’t broken

Changes to app

A few months ago I would have given this 5 stars. Have used it several years. NOW with all the changes it is just like the majority of weather apps- it tells you “what to think”. I found the straight data useful instead of this “I will analyze for you”. This analysis gives me “answers” without knowing my question. Now looking for another app and will not renew my subscription. Plus, half the time the radar screen shows up as just black.

Ora downgrade

NOAA was great. Now that it’s Ora, functionality and details are awful. Will cancel and look for another weather app.

App nicht benutzen !!!!!!

Geld bezahlt und die App öffnet nicht mehr. Lasst die Finger weg von der App. Das sind Null Sterne grenzt schon an abzocke.

Response from developer

Thank you for the honest feedback, and we're sorry the new app isn't landing for you. We rebuilt Ora to make your daily forecast faster to read, and we're still refining it. That being said, the app should open always, so it seems like it's crashing for you. If you could share some more details at support@impalastudios.com, we can further assist on the fix.

Klasse - einfach nur klasse ❤️

Der Schritt alles umzukrempeln war mutig - aber es hat sich mehr als gelohnt. Das Ki Design ist fantastisch- so passen sich die Kacheln wie Regen - Sonnenuntergang Wind automatisch den Verhältnissen an die draußen herrschen. Die Optik der App ist unfassbar schön 🥰. Die Vorhersagen passen (zumindest hier oben im Norden) zu 99%.
Die Widgets sind nicht überladen und funktionieren hervorragend ❤️. Jetzt noch ein paar Übersetzungen anpassen und es bleibt mein dauerhafter Begleiter bezüglich Wetter .. Danke für diese tolle App 🙏🏻🙏🏻

New radar sucks

Go back to the radar used by noaa app.
Get rid of all the city names or make it an option that can be turned off!
Always gotta mess with a good thing!!

Useless to search other cities now

It’s almost useless to search other cities I’m traveling to now because the search only searches “City name, United States” ignoring that there are multiple within the country in different states. There is no way to narrow it down within the country by adding the state apparently and it doesn’t list them in the search listing. Incredibly annoying and poor user experience. I can’t look at the forecast for my travels easily anymore. I will be uninstalling.

24h - 3d - 10d outlook is gone!!!

In the new update, you killed the only reason I was using this app. The horizontal outlook for 24h-3 or 10days. We could see the rain and the snow coming for the next 10days in one screen. It was essential for snow removal business. Now it's gone. Your app is going to trash!!!
