### 5/5 — Excellent weather app

*2026-08-23, version 6.21*

The layout and feel of this app are way better than the TWC app even though they are run by the same company. I like the fact that there is no future radar that in the TWC app is actually forced upon you before seeing the past radar. I find the future radars are largely gimmicky and look almost cartoonish. The 10 day forecast is very nice how you can see exactly when  during the days the highest chance of precipitation is forecasted at a glance on a linear graph. The advertisements while always present seem to be minimally invasive. Mostly this is all my personal preference of course, but if you’re searching for an alternative weather app I would give this one a try.

### 5/5 — My favorite Wx App

*2026-08-22, version 6.21*

I have been using this app since before the name change. As a former pilot I enjoy having the level of weather detail and knowledge at my fingertips.

### 1/5 — A Mislabeled Random Number Generator

*2026-08-21, version 6.21*

I cannot tell you the number of times that their precipitation estimates have been off by a FACTOR OF 10! Not days in the future. No, that would be an excusable occasional error. Just hours away, and they are so ridiculously wrong. I would hope that people get fired over things like that, but they seem to get promoted.

They just changed my rain forecast for the next few hours from 2.70 inches to 0.01 inches. Nice to have a 270X error range. This app would be better as a random number generator.

### 1/5 — Autoplay video ads are annoying

*2026-08-20, version 6.21*

Decent weather app but the incessant autoplay video ads are so annoying as to make it unusable.

### 5/5 — Gerry

*2026-08-20, version 6.21*

I’ve had this app for ages. It’s precise, and accuracy is important in weather, especially today as global warming is turning our world off its axis. Terrific app!

### 3/5 — Good forecasts

*2026-08-20, version 6.21*

Still no dewpoint in the app. Why do I have to go to the web to get this?

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-08-19, version 6.21*

This app can’t predict the weather 30 minutes in the future. At noon 100%rain chance 1.6 inches . At 4:00pm 30%chance .05 inches,at 5: 00pm 100%chance .6 inches. No rain fell at all , how do you make plans with junk like this? NWS said 30% all day long and were correct.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work anymore

*2026-08-19, version 6.21*

With the last update to Tahoe 26.1.2, a blank screen comes up when I try to run the app and I have to use “force quit” to get the screen back.

### 4/5 — Forecast Missing Dew Point

*2026-08-19, version 6.21*

My only complaint is that the 7 day forecast shows “feels like” and humidity but living in MN, I’m more interested in knowing the dew point for the week

### 1/5 — bad

*2026-08-17, version 6.21*

not only they take your money But..ads COVER  the screen ..luck to see a sliver of weather  . shameful
