I’m a weather nerd and have been using this for years now. Is an amazing widget to have on my Home Screen so I can instantly look at the radar for my area. Highly recommend :)

*2026-02-23, version 3.1.1*

like the app and customizable but would love it even more if the app had car play compatibility

### 1/5 — Stopped working

*2026-02-15, version 3.1.1*

Worked for a few days and it stopped working.  I think it’s time to remove the app.  Liked it when it was working.  Now it wants live location all the time.

### 4/5 — Great app but…..

*2025-11-17*

I live in Brasil and the forecast is having some trouble, don’t showing what it used to be. I cancelled my subscription because doesn’t work for me anymore

*2025-08-29, version 3.0.0*

Have restarted the app multiple times

### 5/5 — Nice app!

*2025-06-08*

The radar is a tad different than what I'm used to, but I like it. Being a retired Paramedic and former Navy Hospital Corpsman w/USMC, my retirement $ ain't much but otherwise I'd have the pro version. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Unable to restore my purchases

*2025-05-30*

Kindly fix this please
