### 2/5 — Very bad since the update

*2026-06-18, version 6.2.517*

If it’s not broke, don’t fix it!
New version moves Too fast!

### 3/5 — Has problems now

*2026-06-17, version 6.1.601*

Writing this in hopes that the developers do something!  This has been my favorite weather app. However, in the last few weeks, the radar has been very very glitchy, and now the app is crashing at a high frequency. Hopeful, the developers will fix some things.

### 2/5 — How?

*2026-06-16, version 6.1.601*

The app functions worse than the website. The app takes significantly more data just to load and is typically inaccurate, and off compared to the online version. When changing the radar settings, it takes minutes to load, and often crashes all together.

### 4/5 — Too many ad banners, not easy on the eyes

*2026-02-05, version 6.1.401*

I appreciate the accuracy of this weather app, but go back to the last version. The latest update is hard to navigate. It’s not easy like the previous version. Too many bells and whistles. I can handle the ad banner at the top of the app page. However, with this update there is one thrown in the middle of the viewing page in the hourly report.

### 2/5 — Latest Update Sucks

*2026-02-04, version 6.1.401*

I don’t like the newest update especially the dark colored map and cant find a way to change it. It so frustrating when updating makes its worse.

### 2/5 — Recent update

*2026-01-30, version 6.1.401*

Don’t like the new update.  Moves to fast. Like the old version better.

### 2/5 — Incorrect

*2025-09-24, version 5.17.706*

My dog does a better job guessing the weather

### 4/5 — Almost perfect…

*2024-12-05*

This app is literally perfect with one thing missing…it doesn’t show watches/warnings! I’ve tried looking in the settings but couldn’t find anything. If anyone knows how to fix, let me know!!

### 4/5 — Radar

*2024-04-08, version 5.13.804*

I like the old radar settings. I like the choice of past and future choices. I like to be able to see the weather which way it was approaching

### 2/5 — Newest update

*2023-10-19, version 5.11.503*

New update only allows “Future” option. IPhone 13

### 2/5 — Terrible layout

*2023-10-04, version 5.11.503*

90% of the screen is a map,  if you're looking for current conditions and forecasts, there's a tiny minuscule section at the bottom that you can barely see.  Ill stick with Fox 17's app, way better

### 1/5 — Pokey or freezes

*2023-09-08*

Please fix the app, it used to be great and my go- to for the most accurate forecasting but now the radar either doesn’t show up at all or doesn’t advance. Issues are primarily with the map- the most critical part! Happy to change rating if issues are resolved.

### 4/5 — Radar animation

*2023-06-29, version 5.8.501*

Since the latest update , the radar animation is slow as molasses. Horrible since the last update for that reason. I don’t care for the 24 hour radar setting either. Revert too the old version of the app, it was way better or the radar animation.  I have fast WiFi and this radar animation is slow as molasses.  Great overall app just fix the radar animation speed ty.

### 1/5 — Very bad since the update

*2023-06-11, version 5.8.501*

Not just bad, Very Bad since the update…Boo to the powers  that be, You took something excellent and turned it to garbage

### 1/5 — Can’t open!

*2022-09-20, version 5.6.510*

Use this weather app all the time and all of a sudden, I can’t open it! What happened?!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Inaccurate

*2026-06-17, version 6.2.517*

App never works as it should. Conveniently inoperative in bad weather. Do NOT download.

### 1/5 — Alerts & Radar

*2026-06-11, version 6.1.601*

This app used to be a 5-star app when you could see radar and alerts at the same time on the same map. Unless it’s not being made clear, there is no way to have both at the same time anymore. Please bring this feature back to restore this app to 5-stars. Thank you!

### 1/5 — Radar

*2026-06-10, version 6.1.601*

Radar doesn’t work app is super glitchy.

### 1/5 — Bad update

*2026-06-03, version 6.1.601*

Go back to the original app. This app has stopped working & I’ve deleted it & redownload it 2X’s. I had never had a problem with the old version. The radar has stopped at 2:30pm & it’s 5:30pm now. Plus the speed of the radar is too fast. It goes 2-3 hrs back, that’s nice,  but it takes 2 seconds to go through those 2-3hrs. Not the best update at all.

### 1/5 — Update poor

*2026-01-31, version 6.1.401*

New screen is too cluttered. Cannot customize to minimize rain, snow, etc colors. Need to cleanup this new screen layout to see these options on settings screen only.

### 1/5 — Looking for a new weather source

*2026-01-30, version 6.1.401*

Terrible. Not sure why you changed something that worked so well to THIS. Will uninstall soon.

### 1/5 — Too much blocking screen

*2026-01-28, version 6.1.401*

The new changes made to your pp make it l most impossible to see my screen now! It worked just fine before adding all of that useless junk!

### 1/5 — Been horrible

*2025-08-12, version 5.17.706*

Don’t know what’s been going on with radar and forecasts but they are off by an hour. Radar shows a storm still coming when it’s already blown thru. Weather app is pretty much worthless.

### 1/5 — Weather predictions

*2025-05-11, version 5.17.512*

Why do they give daily weather predictions when it changes almost by the hour if not the day?    That does not seem to be informed at all.
Let’s use the app to plan a trip oh well

### 1/5 — Current radar

*2025-03-02, version 5.17.512*

The radar no longer shows past animation, only future which doesn’t give an accurate depiction of what is coming. Disappointing

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Not loving the update

*2026-04-15, version 6.1.601*

I love the app, but not as much with the update. The radar moves too fast! The loop starts over so quickly, it’s hard to tell what the weather is now or at the start of the loop. Can you add the option to select how fast the radar moves?

### 5/5 — Best. Weather. App. Ever.

*2026-01-28, version 6.1.401*

By far the best radar/weather app I’ve used and I’ve tried a lot of them. I recommend it to anyone in the country not just west Michigan!

### 5/5 — Perfect!

*2025-01-08, version 5.16.1703*

This app is literally perfect

### 5/5 — THIS is a Weather App Done Right

*2023-01-14, version 5.7.301*

To me, this is the GOLD STANDARD of how a weather app should look, feel & work. I use this App when I travel all over the country, but also daily to plan yard work, kayaking, or other activities. The satellite view combined with programmable overviews of lightning, storm wind directions, clouds or fog, along with toggling past or past & present radar motion, provide an insight for safe travel or activities. All weather stations that predict weather can be off, but there’s no denying the reality of an approaching storm with lightning & high winds in near real time. Also programmable are notifications of lightning detected nearby, or tornado watch. This app is the best!

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2023-01-11, version 5.7.112*

I just downloaded this app to make it my #1 weather “go to” in place of my local station because they decided to “upgrade” to an entirely different platform. Please keep this one as it is!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2022-09-17, version 5.4.932*

I love this app works great even when you travel in Michigan. I use it daily, for years.  Easy to use and navigate.

### 5/5 — 13 weather app

*2020-11-28, version 5.1.401*

Works great and seems to have accurate forecast. The radar imaging is nice, showing down to where you live.

### 5/5 — Real time weather

*2020-11-27, version 5.1.401*

When you really want to know where the rain is heading for the next six hours it is more useful than the built in apple app or weather.com.
Their radar sweep covers all SW Michigan.

### 5/5 — Bad

*2019-05-01, version 4.8.300*

Needs work app stopped working

### 5/5 — Amazing.

*2018-06-03, version 4.6.1800*

I don’t usually write reviews. But this app has seen me through thick and thin. I like to see the radar right of the bat. No menus to navigate, and shows you local warnings. The touch interface is smooth, simple, and interactive, performance is top notch. Kudos!
