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. Update 8/11/2026: The radar feature changing the way that the cells are read or appear don’t look as clean and even yesterday during a storm your app appear that the cell wasn’t as big as other radars anticipated and we got Slammed. The projected weather breakdown of each hour with the results on the right and not the graph is now confusing. Yes you have the graph for the current day but no future day. ### 2/5 — The new ownership ruined it *2026-08-08, version 6.0.5* 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. ### 3/5 — Dans quel sens souffle le vent ? *2026-07-19* Étonnamment, l’application ne permet plus de connaître la direction du vent dans les prévisions, ce qui limite sérieusement son intérêt. **Developer response:** 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. ### 2/5 — Ora *2026-07-15, version 6.0.3* The ORA update is awful!!! Time to find new weather. Not sure why people got to mess with things that weren’t broken ### 1/5 — Ora downgrade *2026-07-13, version 6.0.3* NOAA was great. Now that it’s Ora, functionality and details are awful. Will cancel and look for another weather app. ### 5/5 — App nicht benutzen !!!!!! *2026-07-12* Geld bezahlt und die App öffnet nicht mehr. Lasst die Finger weg von der App. Das sind Null Sterne grenzt schon an abzocke. **Developer response:** 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. ### 5/5 — Klasse - einfach nur klasse ❤️ *2026-07-11* 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 🙏🏻🙏🏻 **Developer response:** Hallo! Es freut uns sehr, dass die Veränderungen so positiv bei Ihnen ankommen! Ihr Lob zum Design und der Genauigkeit der Vorhersagen motiviert uns, weiterhin unser Bestes zu geben. Teilen Sie die App gerne mit Freunden. Wir sind hier, um Ihre Wettererlebnisse zu bereichern. Cheers, Customer Engagement Team! ### 1/5 — New radar sucks *2026-07-08, version 6.0.3* 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!! ### 1/5 — Useless to search other cities now *2026-07-07, version 6.0.2* 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. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Changed for the worse *2026-08-21, version 6.1.0* This used to be my favorite weather app with a very unique chart view. They decide to tear it down and now it looks like every other generic app. So disappointing. ### 1/5 — Very bad *2026-08-16* It doesn't work. Data isn't loading. ### 1/5 — Too much *2026-08-08, version 6.0.5* Annoying ### 1/5 — Used to be brilliant not anymore. *2026-08-04, version 6.0.5* After years of using this app the latest update has totally ruined it, I will be removing my subscription immediately. ### 1/5 — Charged me immediately on start of trial *2026-07-24, version 6.0.4* 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.” ### 1/5 — Too expensive now *2026-07-20, version 6.0.4* 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. ### 1/5 — Sneaky - Subscription only *2026-07-18, version 6.0.3* If you try to use the app, you have to subscribe. ### 1/5 — Hate the new interface *2026-07-17, version 6.0.3* 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. ### 1/5 — Absolutely appalling *2026-07-16, version 6.0.3* 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. ### 1/5 — Changes to app *2026-07-13, version 6.0.3* 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. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Very Good *2026-08-23, version 6.1.0* very Goo ### 5/5 — Weather *2026-08-22, version 6.1.0* The weather really good tells you if u have hurricanes and tornadoes or floods in your area I highly recommend this app ### 5/5 — Will Thomas *2026-08-21, version 6.1.0* I like to use this app very time ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-08-20, version 6.1.0* Love being notified of Weather alerts right away! ### 5/5 — Nice information *2026-08-18, version 6.1.0* Very Good , Reliable ### 5/5 — Good *2026-08-17, version 6.1.0* The only way you ### 5/5 — Lance *2026-08-17, version 6.1.0* Weather always precise never wrong which is perfect for me. ### 5/5 — Great weather app *2026-08-05, version 6.0.5* 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. ### 5/5 — Great Source *2026-07-20, version 6.0.4* All the weather details that you need! ### 5/5 — Most consistent weather app ☀️☔️💨 *2026-07-18, version 6.0.3* 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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
