  1. 5/5Amateur Kansas Meteorologist

    At 84 years of age I have lots of experience with weather forecasting. I trust my own judgement and with the help of your radar I don’t even have to go outside to do it. As a child, my father and I would go outside and watch the sky and judge if we needed to go to the storm cellar or back in the house. A couple of time it was a quick trip! Kansas is known for its unpredictable weather. Cliches like: “If you don’t like the weather, just wait a few minutes, it will change.” And my favorite, which is always right, “it is going to be light today and dark tonight.”

  2. 1/5NOAA weather app

    Was forced to change/update my NOAA weather app because the one I had been using stopped updating on the radar selection, was stuck on March 3rd-basically useless. I am not going to pay for any weather service, but in the process to get noaa updated it repeatedly takes me to the “you have to pay for radar” page. I’m finally past that but now I’m not able to get any radar to come up…but the “pay for it” option continues to cover the bottom of my screen 😡 The updated version is full of useless/unnecessary charts and graphs, just give the forecast each day: high-low, wind & percentages for precipitation. Should’ve stayed with what I had, expect to delete noaa and try something else.

  3. 5/5Great for wind speed, temp & rain more than just by hour

    LOVE & USE DAILY! Continuous line graphs of wind speed (mainly what I bought it for) plus rain & temperatures too also continuously displayed shows at a glance how conditions will be all day much faster than reconstructing from hourly blocks in a chart! Drag finger over lines shows you exactly the temp/ windowed/ precipitation / pressure or air quality. The trends are really clear! I love being able to tell from the diagram without having read more than a few numbers on a chart - saves me time as I am busy. I chose it from almost 10 I tried before. I highly recommend!

  4. 1/5WARNING: ORA RIP OFF

    Do NOT press “Skip” when new app opens - it automatically enrolls you in the “Free Trial” and there is NO WAY TO CANCEL in the app. Free trial does not show up in iPhone “Subscriptions”. I did the update of the old app and thought I’d at least look it over despite the several comments about the old version costing way too much and charging for free NOAA info that other apps gave for less or for free. I thought they might be under new ownership that wasn’t as greedy. The splash page took a long time to load. After it did, the first page offered a tour of new features and a “Skip” tour at the bottom. I pressed “Skip” and the next thing I know it’s telling me I’ve accepted the free trial. NOT!!! Went everywhere I could trying to find a Cancel Free Trial button but there’s nothing anywhere in the app for that. Yet it doesn’t show up in Apple Subscriptions to cancel. Can’t believe Apple allows this shabby kind of trick rip-off. You can’t even contact Apple about it. Where? How? Considering a formal FCC complaint.

  5. 5/5It’s No RadarCast - It’s Actually Way Better!

    When the server was taken down for RadarCast, I began searching for a suitable substitute. This ain’t it. Embarrassed Update: turns out, the problem was operator (me) error. I’m using the free version so far, and once I learned how to navigate around the ad land mines this turns out to be a pretty nifty app. I now find it even more useful than RadarCast. One of the things I liked about RadarCast was it’s simplicity. I make the same 600+ mile road trip back and forth regularly. I can travel on any day I please, so I go on days with better weather. The way I used RadarCast was I set pins all along the route and then I just clicked on them to get current and future weather. Clean and easy. However, whatever this new (to me) app lacks in that kind of simplicity it more than makes up for in its richness of information. And considering the wealth of additional information presented, it is remarkably simple at that. I just had to learn how to use it effectively. I especially appreciate the 10day charts and the dynamic timeline obtained by running ones finger across the charts. Doing so reveals hourly precipitation, temp, wind, and barometric pressure. Also, you can see the big picture clearly just by glancing at the charts. Another plus for my particular use of the app is that as I move through it from one pin (location along my path) to another, the data presented are the same as for the previous location. That is, I don’t have to scroll up or down or click on a tab to get to the same place on the page as I was for the previous location on the map. Bottom line, this app facilitates my road trip planning better than any other one I’ve used. My apologies to the developers for my premature bum rap and my kudos to them for doing such a good job. Thanks!
