I thought this was the actual NOAA radar gov site not some app developer who spent more time developing pop-ups and advertisements than an actual app. Deleted it within minutes of installing it. Too bad I didn’t read the reviews first. There are much better truly free weather apps Based on many of the other comments I have no idea how it has a 4+ rating. This should be removed from the App Store ### 1/5 — OMG not worth paying for *2023-09-01, version 1.2.7* The thing is it has ads and you can just check it on the Weather app and it’s completely free. This app isn’t free but the rather app you don’t have to pay for and it does the same thing don’t download it. ### 1/5 — Not very helpful, if you’re trying to find out about weather *2023-08-30, version 1.2.7* So far, it’s been totally useless. Nothing but advertisements.You can’t see any radar, because it’s constantly trying to sell something. Don’t even bother. ### 1/5 — Pretty poor app *2023-08-28, version 1.2.7* Use MYRADAR; it is a much better app. ### 1/5 — Constant adds and unless you pay monthly subscription, you can’t see anything. *2023-08-27, version 1.2.7* Don’t waste your time on this. There are constant adds and you can’t do or see any weather unless you subscribe and pay monthly fees. ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2023-08-27, version 1.2.7* Way too many ads! Deleted right away because it was so frustrating. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2023-08-26, version 1.2.7* Takes too long to load anything and too long advertising too much pop up ads to buys something else do not waste your time ### 1/5 — Scam *2023-08-25, version 1.2.7* Won’t load free content, just hustles you to buy ### 1/5 — Simply the WORST!!! *2023-08-25, version 1.2.7* Proudly ‘owned’ this APP for 4 minutes and then deleted! Ads, Ads, Ads, Ads and then - you’ve got it - MORE ADS!!!!! Absolutely awful. To the developer: Just be transparent and honest and offer this App at a charge from the start. Don’t offer it free and then bombard, and I mean bombard the user with Ads. I understand that free Apps need to be funded by Ads but your App was just ridiculous. So ridiculous that I had to delete after having installed it just a few minutes before. If your App is as good as you claim, I would have happily paid for it from the get go. But to be offered a free weather tool (which I thought I may need to upgrade by paying) which has an absolutely ridiculous and overwhelming amount of long Ads is just awful. CONGRATULATIONS - no other App has spent so little time installed on my phone! Yours is the worst App I’ve ever had - YOU WIN!!!!!!! Thanks but NO THANKS!!! Advice to anyone even thinking of installing - AVOID AVOID AVOID !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Ads ads ads *2023-08-24, version 1.2.7* Can't get to the app ### 1/5 — Unusable!! *2023-08-19, version 1.2.7* App is unusable. After 30 minutes of trying to use the app all I get is and after ad after ad. I never did get a single forecast! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2026-06-25, version 1.4* The app ran long enough to take my money but after paying it won’t even open. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-05-26, version 1.4* Spent 40 dollars to get an app that doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Virus Warning *2024-11-14, version 1.3.9* When you can’t close an app without restarting your device it’s considered a Virus! ### 1/5 — Not what you think it is *2024-10-10, version 1.3.9* This is not from NOAA….it is a third party pushing NIAA data. Not ad responsive as the advertising alludes. Disappointed….downloaded this just for Milton. Not worth the cost. ### 1/5 — Bad *2024-10-08, version 1.3.9* Why does this have to be bad? It won't let me set to preferred units, it's very difficult to navigate to a different location, and the hurricane tracking is terrible. Why is the official app of such an important organization so difficult to use, so expensive, and so useless? Really disappointed, canceling that free trial immediately. it's just completely useless. You can't find anything, you can't use anything, you can't navigate anything, I hate it. ### 1/5 — Free???? *2024-07-15, version 1.3.9* You say it is free , then, you try a quick trick twice to charge me. No one on the internet ever tells the truth or deceptively tries to get our money. ### 1/5 — Seriously *2024-07-14* This is a totally have to pay for app. It does nothing unless you pay for it. Should be in the pay for app section. 👎👎👎 ### 1/5 — Location warm and sunny *2024-06-19, version 1.3.8* It’s raining and thundering and windy and 2 other sources confirm this. ### 1/5 — Worthless subscription *2024-05-14, version 1.3.7* Can not set widget. Worthless subscription, d ### 1/5 — Customer *2023-09-14, version 1.2.7* Bad app ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Oportunidad *2024-09-27* Ayuda a salvar vidas ### 5/5 — NOAA *2024-04-09, version 1.3.5* This’s such an amazing/awesome app to be able to view the weather from anywhere on my phone ### 5/5 — Weather watcher *2023-04-20, version 1.2.4* Love the radar ### 3/5 — No me está funcionando *2025-01-18* Tiene como un mes que no puedo abrir la aplicación, ya instalé y la desinstalé y sigue sin funcionar. Pague la suscripción anual. ### 3/5 — Alerts *2024-07-01, version 1.3.9* None of the alerts or push notifications work ### 3/5 — I don’t need a app salesman *2023-08-29, version 1.2.7* I like the app I just get tired of them trying to sell me something else keep it up I’ll find another app ### 2/5 — Longer trial period please! *2024-11-21, version 1.3.9* For something as dynamic as the weather, I think I need more than 3 days as a trial period, especially where the only subscription option seems to be £35 for a year. ### 2/5 — Expensive *2024-01-02, version 1.3.0* Costs too much for what you get. Better options are free. ### 2/5 — Too many ad pop ups *2023-08-30, version 1.2.7* Too many ads for a weather app. Will get free info elsewhere. ### 2/5 — Cumbersome *2023-08-16, version 1.2.7* I just wanted to check current report for my zip code. Had to go through ads/cookies then pops up, get updates from NOAA for your local area automatically. I click on it and it want me to pay for app. Should indicate you’ll have to pay as I couldn’t find anyway to get/back out of app without paying. Ended up closing all links and apps and never did determine weather update. Thank you for asking, Former PW Director who used NOAA almost daily. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
