### 3/5 — Not bad but….

*2024-05-24, version 1.3.01*

I have been trying to change the default settings for the radar tab and after I change them and click on save, it just diverts back to the original settings and won’t save. I have even deleted and reinstalled the app. On my android phone it works as it should.

### 2/5 — Ok on Laptop, amateurish on iPhone

*2024-04-28, version 1.3.01*

I have used WeatherTap for several years and was happy. Three years ago, I started attempting its use on an iPhone - frustrated would be a mild description with mobile performance: loading issues, lockups, speed, and horribly inconsistent performance. I quit and did not renew last year and have been using RadarSc@@@ instead. It actually works on laptop & mobile with no issues.

### 1/5 — Broken app

*2024-01-10*

I've been a paid subscriber to weatherTAP for 20 years. This app has been shaky at best for a couple years now. It has now become unusable. Any attempt to manipulate the radar screen causes it to jump to the upper left-hand corner and freeze the app.

### 2/5 — Disappointing

*2023-07-07, version 1.3.01*

App looks promising and when it works it’s great. However it will drop your location and go find a new one? Takes forever to load,  after multiple attempts went with another app.

### 2/5 — Buggy

*2022-12-28, version 1.3.01*

Radar data freezes on loading

Software engineer broke the app!  Radar data fails

### 2/5 — Radar does not function properly on iPad

*2022-07-23, version 1.3.01*

While the radar seems to work okay on iPhone, it does not function well on iPad.  Many times, the radar image loads in the upper left hand corner of the display and there’s nothing you can do with it. Please address, thanks.

### 1/5 — Very unstable app

*2022-07-13, version 1.3.01*

I have been a customer for over 10 years and really enjoyed the Zoom app. But this app is worthless to me. It keeps stalling. No data when using the zoom equivalent (radar lab mobile) 
As a Motorcyclist, I really need an app that can follow my GPS location and show me where the weather is going to be. I can’t be pressing all kinds of buttons. As it is right now it is totally worthless.

### 1/5 — Totally Useless

*2022-06-14, version 1.3.01*

I have been a WeatherTAP subscriber for years. With a computer web browser, it is still great. The app is totally worthless. Opens with the current weather. Tap on radar and it locks up with no image. Tried deleting the app and reinstalling. Worked a few times and now back to freezing before a radar image will load. Looking for another iPhone app for my goto radar.

### 1/5 — Practically useless

*2022-01-01, version 1.3.01*

Maybe due to the latest iOS update, but the radar shrinks to use maybe 1/6 of the iPhone screen and I can’t expand it - mainly radar lab mobile locations screen.  Been a subscriber for years - Upset that I renewed.

### 2/5 — Weather tap

*2021-11-29, version 1.3.01*

This version useless on Sat photo section. Does not load stuck on blue screen. Weather tap suggested to turn off feature from iPhone they say Apple has disrupted software which they will not fix. My subscription is paid til next yr will not renew and maybe cancel if issue not fixed soon.
