Would be perfect if you could animate the future lightning probabilities. Nice to have hourly forecast and Forecast Discussion from National Weather Service. ### 4/5 — Weatherlcd *2012-06-03, version 12.0* This is a really good app. The upgrades ive gotin the past year have made it alot better. I use it all the time. ### 5/5 — Great weather app *2012-05-14, version 12.0* This is a great weather app while at home or on the road. ### 5/5 — Weather app *2012-05-01, version 12.0* Best app ever! A must have!! ### 5/5 — Perfect *2011-11-04, version 10.3* Perfectly clear views of weather activity, marine buoy reports & forecasts, and air turbulance, plus it's fast! Well designed. ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2011-08-20, version 10.3* Fantastic app - fast, informative and useful. Love It! ### 5/5 — Great Program *2011-07-31, version 10.3* Awesome and much needed ### 5/5 — Awesome!!!!!!!!' *2011-05-20, version 9.1.2* Like the lightning and radar! I also use radar scope! Both of these are awesome apps!!!!!! ### 5/5 — All inclusive *2011-05-11* This app includes everything you need and is very easy to use and understand. ### 5/5 — Great *2011-05-05* I love this app. When the storm system came in this app gave the waring a week out. It was telling what a dangerous system this was and it was right. With this app and another one it really helped. Where I live we were hit with 3 tornados. Great job to all that work with this app ### 5/5 — Very nice *2011-05-01, version 9.1.1* This app is great. Use it all the time. ### 5/5 — Accurate App!! *2011-04-19, version 9.1.1* Would love to see rainfall totals now that snow season is over, this is the weather app I trust for my locale. ### 4/5 — Great app, especially for pilots! *2011-04-09, version 9.1.1* This app is great! It appears to use weather obtained from ADDS. I wouldn't mind seeing icing reports included, but the turbulence reports are very nice. Also, zooming is a little tricky, but overall, this app rocks. ### 4/5 — Most detailed weather app so far *2011-04-09, version 9.1.1* Love this app Could look a little snazzier and modern but what it lacks in looks it makes up for in functionality ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — It Used To Work *2018-02-21* A few days ago this was my go to weather app, the one I checked to confirm plans with. For the last few days, the app hasn’t worked - it can’t find data for my location. Time to move on I guess. ### 1/5 — Waist of money! *2012-02-05, version 11.2* I chase storms for a living... This app is worst weather app I've ever downloaded, much less pay for it ### 1/5 — Crashes and freezes *2011-12-01, version 10.3.1* Shouldn't even be for sale. ### 1/5 — Not good since update *2011-04-24, version 9.1.1* Loved this app before the update. Now have the time you can't get map on road view ### 1/5 — Not so good! *2011-04-09, version 9.1.1* This app WILL NOT let me set my own zip code, it will only track our airport which is 10 miles from me....I can check Alaska but not my own block! Save your time and money ### 1/5 — False advertisement *2011-04-04, version 9.1.1* Don't let the app photo fool you. This app gives NO warnings or watches. They are just trying to trick you that they have what other weather apps offer. If you want warning / watches get Storm Spotter ### 1/5 — Mr *2011-02-19, version 9.0* Absolute piece of junk-properly priced at free. Tried to enter my city for 20 minutes &.all I got was airport in NY: I live in Tennessee. ### 1/5 — Don't even think of buying this app! *2010-09-07, version 0* I should have listened to other reviews. It crashes right from the start. It is complete junk and waste of your money. ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2010-02-08, version 0* Junk. I'll put in a city with state and I'll either get a city in a different state, or nothing at all. Dumb. ### 2/5 — Frustrating *2010-01-16, version 0* Despite fast performance and useful data, this app is frustrating to use for any location other than the one you're in. The app does not save locations and searching usually brings back a completely unrelated city. Overall, data not that much more useful or detailed than the free Weather Channel or AccuWeather apps. Good try -- maybe next time. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Basically AMAZING! *2019-09-19, version 19.0* Simple - and perfect! The barometric 3-hour trend is great! ### 5/5 — Easiest to use interface to NWS *2018-09-20* No frills but that's fine. Clean and easy to use, reliable interface to all NWS forecasts and obs. ### 5/5 — Great for turbulence reports *2018-05-30* Not even the main feature, but the PIREPS for turbulence have been incredibly useful for my flight planning for the last few years! Keep up the great work! ### 5/5 — Excellent weather app *2016-09-22, version 15.3* This is my "go to" app for local weather. ### 5/5 — A Real Weather App *2015-06-03, version 14.3* This App provides prompt, relevant weather data concisely displayed but without all the garbage of TWC. It is a valuable tool! ### 5/5 — NWS discussion *2013-11-02, version 13.4.1* My favorite Weather app. Love getting the actual NWS forecasts and data as well as the forecast discussions ### 5/5 — Best Weather App *2013-06-11* Truly the best wether app out there for pilots and anyone interested in weather. Brings it all together in one place and is easy to use. ### 5/5 — Turbulence forecast *2012-11-18, version 12.3* If you are curious about what kind of turbulence you will encounter download this app. Truly superb since they updated it. ### 5/5 — Keep Improving Please *2012-06-25, version 12.0* Getting better and better ### 5/5 — O15+ *2012-05-29, version 12.0* Great app. Consistent. Uses NWS data. Best weather app I've seen. I had it when it was free and purchased it for another ID. Well worth the price. I like this app and AWOS Map.
