Since May, I cannot delete an unused location on my iPhone. I tried deleting the app and re-adding it. Those same locations come along on the new addition. Please update the situation. Thanks. ### 3/5 — Congratulations! You have made this app useless *2025-04-29* Switching to another app ### 3/5 — Too negative compared to reality *2024-08-15, version 5.15.402* Many times get warnings and nothing is close or materializes ### 3/5 — Congratulations! You have made this app useless *2024-07-10, version 5.15.402* Switching to another app ### 3/5 — No Dew point! *2024-04-16, version 5.13.1002* For some reason, my version of the app does not show the dew point. I tried looking for an update, uninstalling and reinstalling, and emailed the station directly. No solution. ### 4/5 — Somethings going on *2023-10-20, version 5.11.500* I love this app but I’ve had trouble opening it. This is the 3rd time I’ve deleted and reinstalled. What’s up? ### 2/5 — Videos play by themselves *2019-08-03, version 4.10.501* App is not kind if you don’t have unlimited data.Videos play automatically when you open the app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Radar doesn’t load anymore *2026-06-22, version 6.1.604* Was working fine until a couple of weeks ago and now radar no longer works. ### 1/5 — Performance unpredicatable *2026-04-07, version 6.1.604* And by that I mean, sometimes it’s adequate and the rest of the time, it’s not functional. Is it really that hard to make an app that does what it’s supposed to do? ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2025-04-29* App is great. But it stopped working and won’t open anymore. ### 1/5 — Ugh *2025-03-14, version 5.17.513* The app keeps crashing on me smh!! ### 1/5 — Constantly crashing *2025-03-14, version 5.17.513* I’m unable to open the app as it keeps crashing and closing every time I do, and the page to “report a problem” doesn’t exist on their website. This was the best weather app, and now it’s broken. ### 1/5 — Problems after update *2024-04-24* After updating to iOS 17.4.1 screen orientation in this app only WONT ROTATE. ### 1/5 — Way to many nuisance alerts *2022-08-29, version 5.6.500* I want to hear alerts for hazardous or extreme weather. Currently there is alerts for just about any weather condition. I find them to be annoying. ### 1/5 — App won’t open *2019-12-29, version 4.10.2002* I would give it a higher rating if it would open. It was fine until the past couple of days it started getting slow to open, now it won’t open at all. I rebooted my phone & it still won’t open, however all my other apps work fine. ### 2/5 — Stopped working *2025-05-21, version 5.17.614* Videos always seem to jump 15 seconds randomly ### 2/5 — Crashing don’t download *2025-05-01, version 5.17.513* I’ve relayed on this map for years. It’s crashing so much, I’ve deleted it and switched to radar omega and weather bug. What a shame… For those who rely on these apps, durning severe weather, you’ve failed. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great radar. *2025-04-14, version 5.17.513* This page has a great weather radar. ### 5/5 — Dew point *2024-06-18, version 5.15.402* I used to be able to see the dewpoint but it no longer shows up. Disappointing ### 5/5 — Very accurate *2023-07-20, version 5.10.500* This app is very accurate and radar feature is great! I love the storm track feature. I own a farm and this is now my go to weather app ### 5/5 — Weather Map *2023-02-16, version 5.7.302* THANK YOU for including the weather map show the current weather system, it’s direction, timing and type! It’s fascinating and educational. ### 5/5 — Weather map *2022-09-28, version 5.6.500* I like I can move around the US to see how the weather is there. Haven’t tried globally yet! This is a fantastic app!!! ### 5/5 — Great app for local weather *2021-11-19, version 5.2.600* This is an excellent option for local forecasts and severe weather alerts. Radar views are as good (or better) than those on paid apps. Ads are manageable. Def worth a download. ### 5/5 — Amazing free weather app! *2019-07-31, version 4.10.501* I have been looking for a great, easy, accurate and feature filled weather app- and this is it! Tailored for the local Albany, NY area user, as the weather videos are from WNYT, but great for everyone if you don’t care about the videos. Free app so there are small ads. I would love a remove ad or subscription option. ### 5/5 — Finally found my weather app!!!! *2018-06-03, version 4.6.1800* Accurate, Simple, Fun to use and nice color layouts. From precipitation forecasts to future weather to flood and tornado warnings. Tons of expandable data! Used in conjunction with NOAA's QPF 12 hour loop and you'll know almost exactly what to expect. ### 5/5 — Go back to the old layout. *2017-09-19, version 4.5.1600* Go back to the old layout, it was much simpler, quicker to load, and generally more useful as an alert app. Leave the glitz for the full station app. ### 4/5 — New Problem *2026-05-19, version 6.1.604* I have been using this weather app for several years and I love it, however I’ve recently experienced a problem I’ve never seen before. When I tap the three dots next to a location, there is usually a menu that comes up where you can pinpoint an exact location, delete a location in your list, etc. For the last few weeks that menu flashes on the screen for a split second and then disappears so I can’t use any of those functions. I’ve even tried deleting and reinstalling the app but it didn’t help. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
