5/5Love this App
We’ve been using this app for years. I love how no matter where I travel, I can see what the weather is doing and plan for it. Several years ago, I was driving my parents home from Florida to Minnesota and was able to stay ahead of a severe storm coming behind us. This past winter I worked in Montana and was able to keep an eye on conditions driving through a mountain pass after work. At the same time, it was also nice to check conditions at home in MN.

2/5NEEDS FIXING ASAP
Your radar is beyond inaccurate. Tonight driving home we hit a major storm. Pulled off on exit. Got on the app it shows absolutely nothing where I am. It was blowing my car sideways raining so hard could not see. Lightning was so dangerous hailing. Closed app went back in shows nothing again. Storm let’s up we leave the exit hit another storm in next town. Says just light rain it was no light rain. We finally get home. Look on app again to see if this storm was coming our way. It shows all red over my house at that second. It’s bone dry and calm here no storm at all but radar shows storm right over my house. How are we to rely on your app for weather when it was so inaccurate.

5/5Storm search weather
I really enjoy being able to check the weather wherever we are, home or camping, especially when it looks threatening out! Great app!

1/5Use to be good
This was my go to app for the weather every where I went. I have used this app since the 1st apple iphone. But this past yr it has been horrible. Why in the world would you put 1st ALERT on every notification? And alert is for being aware of bad weather. Not the future forecast. Way too many notifications now also. It is like the boy who cried wolf too many times. And this is the nail in the coffin. When you have a thunderstorm warning or bad weather coming notify the counties it is affecting. Not the whole flippen state! If these things stay the same I will have to switch. Most ppl the have used your app are complaining about the same things. Please fix!

3/5Weather radar.
Just about radar in general. Years ago I could zoom in on my section of land and see real time rain where it was happening. Now the lag time is so significant that trying to see real time weather is impossible. On a related subject, no one I know wants to see the weatherman come on 5 times during a half hour newscast, only to repeat themselves. Super frustrating
