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.

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.

I use WCYB Storm Track Weather Radar every day. I feel it's the most accurate available. I liked it better when radar could expand to full screen and features like earthquake and fire symbols could be used.

I hate to do this but this app accuracy of weather is like putting a banna in a crossbow and trying to hit an apple at one mile away. One min there saying rain/ thunderstorms lookout blue sky full sun. Go back 5 min later showing over cast. Still full blu sky full sun. Then you look 20 min later says sunny. It's like the app is 30 min off of real weather.

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 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.
