I refer to it throughout the day. Love the graphics and hourly predictions.

Like the updated features to create custom maps, but the play arrow to show the radar in motion isn't very responsive to touch and would love to see more radar added such as velocity and reflectivity.
★★★★★Gail Locke· May 9, 2026
I love this weather app, had for years, use every day!
★★★★★Janet Montgomery· May 28, 2026
I've been using this app a long time because it zeroes in on east Tennessee, and I'm in Western NC. It's pretty accurate, and I love watching the radar. I can tell when a storm is going to hit my little mountain.

I love the accuracy of this radar. When I am questioning what's happening with the weather. I open this up, and it tells me exactly what is happening now, it even tells me what my future is.

If I knew this is what the new update would have been like, I never would have allowed it to update! Full page radar map gone. Too much clutter (1/3 of the screen) taking up too much screen space at the bottom of the map. Having to create a custom map just to have some additional notifications like lightning and earthquakes you have to scroll through to use. Prime example of a software engineer thinking they're doing something great when they actually went backwards. Reverted to older version!!

This app has got to be the most indecisive, worst weather app. How can they say they can accurately tell the weather forecast for ten days when they can't even do it for one day accurately??? Every day the forecast changes every thirty minutes. All their high-tech gadgets and radars, and they still can't get it? We go from no rain in the forecast until it starts raining, then they change it to 100% chance of rain. Arthritis does a better job at predicting the weather.

The previous version was far better in every way! Primarily the radar map and the overlays. They all need rolled back and left there. For example. The future radar map rolls so fast you can barely follow the times to expect precipitation to reach your area. If ya pause it to read the time stamp, it disappears. WHY?! 2 stars until usability of previous version restored, then will re-evaluate. Otherwise one of the better weather apps out there.
★★☆☆☆Jessica Ramsey· Apr 25, 2026
The app keeps turning on "precipitation" alert under Weather Notifications Types. I turn it off daily and save the changes, yet it keeps turning on that 1 alert. Frustrating! Fix this please. I couldn't care less about "precipitation nearby" alert.
