  1. 5/5Love this app, but...

    I have used this app since it was first introduced. It’s great, but after the last update my phone battery started to drop to where I had to charge it twice a day instead of twice a week. Turned off the running in the background and now my battery is fine. Only happened after the update and it was the only one I did that day. Just wanted you to know. It’s still a great app otherwise.

  2. 4/5Great Emotional Support

    It’s ok not perfect. Lots of warnings that never happen. Lighting 8 miles away and I will never get railed on. It’s raining now and I never got a rain notice. I get more notifications of stuff I will never see and no notification of stuff that is actually happening. I see storms building nearby that won’t show up on the radar. Maybe they aren’t dense enough. If I switch to clouds it’s just shows clouds are everywhere. The past and future never happens the same as reality. It’s always two or three steps behind. The video replay is a nice feature but sometimes isn’t updated as often as it could be. Middle of the day and Julie is still on from 7:00 am. The general forecasts and planners are ok.

  3. 4/5Wind data missing

    As a boater living in Sofla, any hourly forecast without wind data (speed AND direction) is incomplete. I jump to another site for this information every time. Pick a regional point like Haulover or Port Everglades. 4 stars for the rest of the information and its display, especially the radar presentation. One more criticism, one commercial is more than enough to see the video forecast. Two is painful and even stops me from pressing play from time to time. A little variety would also be nice. How many times do you think we consumers purchase impact windows and doors anyway?

  4. 3/5New look is difficult to read

    In Dec 2024 this app introduced a “vibrant new look” but unfortunately it’s now extremely difficult to read. Nearly everything on the screen is blue and turquoise, so users are trying to read blue on blue items—it’s not easy. The icons were made smaller and are now also difficult to read - is that rain? Hail? Lightning? Can’t tell. While the look is indeed vibrant, the usefulness of the app is significantly reduced as you just can’t read the thing. There are no options for larger icons, plain background, contrasting colors, color blindness, or visual impairment. Needs a lot of work.

  5. 5/5Good but could be a great app

    I think this app does an amazing job with their weather forecast. The only issue I has is the app itself isn’t stable. The widget I rely on always “deletes” itself from my phone daily. I wish it could replace Apple weather on my iWatch. The weather forecast from Local10 station is always on point!! I just wish the app was stronger on Apple devices.
