Careful trusting appsCareful trusting apps

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.

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.
