5/5Not updating the radar
Was working very well. The older versions were all I needed but now too much information.

JoeCool Jr · 7 Aug 2026
3/5Why hasn’t someone come up with ZERO STARS??
I’d give this one negative stars if I could. The last update was bad enough but this newest update is awful! Cluttered, disorganized and WAY too much going on. This used to be where I got my news. Not anymore. They have all but completely ruined this app. UPDATE - That must be for the iPhone update that I downloaded. I hated it so much I kept the old one on my iPad but it recently stopped working all together, I assume they did away with it. I liked it MUCH better because the forecast was horizontal with COLOR. It had bright yellow suns that stood out - I liked seeing the sunshine. Now it’s just bland blue, no color. The map was GREEN where the land was in the old version, now it looks gray and dead compared to the old one. The whole thing (old one) was just much better to look at. I’ve been using Weather Channel more often. I might stick with that. Do not like this updated version!! This updated version has videos. There needs to be a way to get rid of them. Old one didn’t have videos to clutter things up.

2/5NO WAY!
Downloaded this weather app and after looking through it, put it up in the cloud. This app takes way too long to open. I timed it every time. 12 to 15 seconds just to open. Tap…Tap…Tap…Yawn! Once the app finally opened, the opening print at the top was difficult to read. The pale off-white print faded into the background too much and I have excellent vision. The app is too cluttered. I don’t like having to scroll down through a weather video I am not interested in viewing and never ending ads just to get to the weather details of the day. Maybe developers can offer an ad free version, move the weather video lower in the app and most importantly have the app open SOONER. Thanks

3/5Great idea but needs work
I love checking the weather and my fav way to get it is in written form- particularly by Scott S. This app loads fast enough but when you click on the written forecast it immediately opens the latest video forecast which starts streaming immediately. I don’t want to use my data to stream the forecast and I don’t want to watch it! I just want to read the text that’s below it. Can you please fix this?

3/5Was my goto weather app….
Until the last year or so. I have my location set, but, radar is blank while I am outside and it’s raining. It has happened so many times. I have since deleted it and depend on the IOS weather app which is much more accurate and has a much more pertinent information.
