5/5Preforms as needed
I've been using this app for radar mostly and it has it's quirks that I've become used to. Mainly the zooming feature has some difficulty scaling the image to the specific map selected, which is remedied by slightly adjusting the zoom and the overlay snaps to a more clear and accurate location. That said, once I acclimated to the rest of the app it was very easy and surprisingly accurate for the primary function of radar, as for the forecast and satellite, I prefer to use other data sources. This is a basic source for me and chasing storms is not my thing, but I do enjoy keeping up with the weather in ways that most people do not.

1/5Glitchy
As this weather app kept asking me for a review every time I opened it, here it is, though I doubt Apple will publish it; negative reviews for this app, mysteriously, are well-buried. I’ve had this app for years, but didn’t use it because it wasn’t as good as my favorite one, the popular Hi-Def US Radar app that had an epic meltdown last year. This app has also had a meltdown as far as I’m concerned, and am removing it. Though it has a number of features I liked, they don’t work anymore. The “water vapor” radar images are split and shifting when opened, and more annoying is that the current weather radar images don’t move when the map is moved (zoom in or out, the storm images remain over whichever area you’re focusing on). The app seems to be experiencing the same glitches and issues my former favorite weather app did when it was being abandoned by its developers. I’ve spent a lot of time trying to find a replacement for this, and what I look for is one that has frequent updates which indicate an effort by developers to maintain function and relevancy for users. Obviously (see the updates for this one) this app doesn’t meet that standard. NOTE: Trying to get app support is a joke. The developers refer you to Apple to “fix” your device. It’s not the device that needs fixing, it’s the app. Or you can uninstall/reinstall: doesn’t work. Or you can contact them: email them and get no response. Or just delete the app and find one from another developer. Check.

5/5Best Radar App
I have had this App for about 2 years now, I kept delaying doing a review, so I'm finally doing it now. I use this App daily to get realtime, accurate, local weather everywhere I go in the US; I can't say anything bad it, this is the only App I've tried that I can say this about. When storms are in the forecast, I use it multiple times a day to track the storms so I can plan around them, or advise my family of severe weather headed their way; 2 of my younger grandchildren are now becoming aspiring meteorologist thanks to this App! If you don't have it, and you want to keep up with weather wherever you are, get it; you won't be disappointed!!!

5/5Great
Have used for 4-5 years. I love the higher definition mode which they have had since very early on, before most others. Also like the lightweight, unobtrusive markups, storm vectors and NOAA boxed areas that allow you to see the map, not the ham-fisted, big crayon effect that so many others have. The app is dependable and when there is a problem (once/twice a year?), they tell you what it is and why. Invariably it is a feed from NOAA ( due to API changes I presume), that affects most of the other radar providers as well. Good product. Thank you.

4/5Great App, but not perfect
I use this app not only daily, but throughout the day. This is an outstanding app, and the best radar mosaic app I’ve tried, and as a meteorologist, I’ve tried a lot! Some limitations I’d like to see improved (that would bump my rating to 5 stars) are the following: a 6-frame loop is just too short; I would love to be able to add personal markers, such as location of family members’ homes; please add severe thunderstorm and tornado watch boxes; increase the number of temperature stations, because large cities like Memphis, St Louis, and Dayton are missing temperature stations, and states like WV have only one temperature station; loading speed improvements are needed; looping should be the default mode upon app launch.
