I cancelled my subscription because doesn’t work for me anymore ### 2/5 — Widgets not working *2025-03-25, version 3.0.0* Widgets not working with full Access od localization data… ### 2/5 — Hasn't worked in a long time *2025-03-24* The widget has just shown a blank radar picture for a while. I finally tried reinstalling today and now it seems unaware that it has the permission to use my location for widgets at all. Too bad, it was great when it worked. ### 3/5 — Poprzednia wersja lepsza *2025-01-15, version 3.0.0* Po dzisiejszej aktualizacji (3.0.0) aplikacja straciła na czytelności. Przewidywany opad (nowość w tej wersji) wyświetlany w formie wielkiej plamy nie przydaje się do niczego. Było prosto, szybko, bez bajerów, a teraz zrobiło się marnie jak w każdej aplikacji z radarami opadów. Dla mnie zbędny bajer bo do przewidywania opadów, jak i historii, dużo lepiej sprawdza się Rain Viewer. Tu był szybki rzut oka na sytuację na żywo ale niestety trochę się to zatraciło. ### 3/5 — Decent but… *2024-12-09, version 2.0.6* App works good just wish it wasn’t so zoomed out with the widget. It would be nicer if it was a little more closer to my location. ### 3/5 — Arrow weather direction as gone *2024-11-17* The black arrows which show what direction the weather is moving as disappeared please rectify it’s very important **Developer response:** Done, fixed now. Sorry for the inconvenience. ### 3/5 — Decent *2024-09-25, version 2.0.6* I would love if the radar optionally could be a classic pixilated one. Not the smother blobs. The ability to also have an animated radar ### 4/5 — Good download *2024-08-20, version 2.0.5* Overall happy with the widget ### 4/5 — Great but *2024-07-01* I wish the "transportation" background actually showed live traffic like maps does ### 5/5 — A great widget! One of my favorite apps! Well Done! *2024-06-29* It’s simple and it works! Great for a quick view of weather in your area and what to expect. I use it all time and it’s one of my favorite widgets! I highly recommend it! ### 5/5 — FIXED - 17.5.1 error *2024-06-28* -UPDATE- - - - PLUS 2 STARS - FOR FIXING THE PROBLEM!!! - - - plus 1 star for quick dev response to orig message (in approx 3 days) - - - - -WIDGET MAP COMPLETELY BLANK- no longer works since 17.5.1 update. have tried reinstall with no improvement. excellent when fully functional! still good info with working radar when opened, but WIDGET is right there in the title, so kind of defeats itself when the widget doesn’t work at all. will happily bump my star rating when this is resolved, but it’s been at least a fortnight already… **Developer response:** Hey, thanks for the review. We are work in on resolving this issue. Edit: Please update the app to 2.0.5 as this should resolve this issue. ### 3/5 — Blank radar Widget *2024-06-25* Version 2.0.4 broke the widget, it’s blank, please fix. **Developer response:** Please update the app to 2.0.5 as this should resolve this issue. ### 2/5 — ERROR 17.5.1 ERROR *2024-06-17* -WIDGET MAP COMPLETELY BLANK- no longer works since 17.5.1 update. have tried reinstall with no improvement. excellent when fully functional! still good info with working radar when opened, but WIDGET is right there in the title, so kind of defeats itself when the widget doesn’t work at all. will happily bump my star rating when this is resolved, but it’s been at least a fortnight already… **Developer response:** Hey, thanks for the review. We are work in on resolving this issue. ### 5/5 — Good update *2024-06-04, version 2.0.4* Looks like it's working again! Amazing app! ### 5/5 — Doesn't seem to work on the new iPad Pro *2024-05-21* Worked fine on my M1 iPad. Widget not working on the M4. Still a great app, however! ### 3/5 — App not working after updates *2024-04-14* Good app, but after last updates even with location activated app shows “location unavailable”. Test Made in IOS 17.4.1 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 1/5 — Weather Won't Load *2025-08-29, version 3.0.0* Have restarted the app multiple times ### 1/5 — It was a Perfect widget *2025-04-19, version 3.0.0* Now: since 3.0 the widget just doesn’t work, either it doesn’t load at all or ignores all widget settings showing different continent Previously: Simple, useful and privacy-first widget for a feature that is hidden deep inside the website connected to the built-in weather app. The only thing to make it better - offer few previous frames to see movement of the clouds. If not possible in widget - at least as a slider in the app. ### 1/5 — iPhone 15 Pro Max support please *2023-10-25* October 24, 2023. Widget still NOT working on iPhone 15 Pro Max after today’s app update. Blank…screen…still. Blank widget screen on iPhone 15 Pro Max. Not sure on the other 15’s. Verified widgets working fine still on iPadOS 17 to 17.0.3. Please update to support the new iPhones. Is it the 120Hz refresh rate maybe? ### 1/5 — Widget don‘t work… *2023-10-24* on iPhone 15 Pro iOS 17.03. Open the App it works, but the widget shows a white screen. ### 1/5 — Issues with iOS 17.0.3 and iPhone 15 *2023-10-12, version 2.0.0* Doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2023-10-10, version 2.0.0* Followed all of the steps and instructions will not work. ### 1/5 — Not working since OS 17 *2023-10-04, version 2.0.0* See subject ### 1/5 — Worthless *2022-10-31, version 1.5.1* It says it’s been snowing all day every day for weeks when it’s not. I contacted tech support and they’re unresponsive. ### 1/5 — Can not set location *2021-03-20, version 1.4* Maybe I have to pay but the program doesn’t know where I am and I can’t tell it. Fairly useless compared to other weather programs. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best radar widget around *2026-06-21* 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 :) ### 5/5 — Super *2026-06-11, version 3.1.1* Super ### 5/5 — A great widget! One of my favorite apps! Well Done! *2026-05-15* It’s simple and it works! Great for a quick view of weather in your area and what to expect. I use it all time and it’s one of my favorite widgets! I highly recommend it! ### 5/5 — Very nice *2026-05-09* Make sure to set location to always. ### 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 ### 5/5 — Ttt *2025-02-01, version 3.0.0* Yyy ### 5/5 — Good baseline graphics *2024-11-22* Appreciate the free version as current. One can only hope this vendor or creator does not follow the norm. That being later change then become fee based. Please continue to remain current and free. ### 5/5 — Simple and good *2024-08-25, version 2.0.6* This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. ### 5/5 — great *2024-07-01, version 2.0.5* by my mind, the best radar widget --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
