4/5Better than most!
By far one of the best weather apps I have found. Always use it when ever I need any sort of info regarding rain, snow, clouds, etc. Only downfall in the last few months. Their app is sluggish when showing the future radar…. Hopefully that’s just a bug fix they can get fixed.

1/5Really?!
I appreciate this app, especially in stormy times. No one can predict the future, but watching the radar map is very helpful. But I have one thing against you. I woke up this morning, got a cup of coffee and opened your app to check a day. There I sat with a mouthful of coffee and an eye full of large women’s breasts. There was a row of pictures through the middle of women with large breasts, and to top it off, an ad on the right about wall Pilates to lift breasts. You advertise equal opportunity for all, regardless of race, sex, etc., yet you still exploit women’s bodies to gain attention on your app. In a time when women are shouting, “We are more than our bodies,” do you still aim to profit from exploiting them? Shame on you! You have been a five-star app that just went to one-star until you remove such sexism. Until then, I’d rather have a lesser app and wing it like my ancestors did, checking the weather from the front porch.

5/5Best Weather App
I absolutely love this weather app. It’s laid out so well. Everything you need to know about the weather in your area is right at your finger tips. Their “Map” Radar is fantastic!!! You can go to any day and see hour by hour weather. This weather app is by far the best of any out there. Everything you need is right here! Love love love it!

3/5Too many ads
Besides all the ads taking up screen space for things like the radar, the controls on the radar used to be smaller and not block so much of the screen. Also I wish I could change the order of the “widgets” to move the radar closer to the top since I use that most.
