1. [R2] Local Weather Radar & Forecast 5/5 · US I love this weather app: Today however it won’t load. I depend on this app for more than weather, it’s also my go to for accurate traffic reports. Please fix it, there isn’t another app as good and accurate as this for weather and traffic.
2. [R3] Local Weather Radar & Forecast 3/5 · US Showing its age.: I’m old, and parts of me are creaking and inoperative. This app is like me. Radar doesn’t show movement over time. Moon phases simply don’t load. What works is nice. I just wish it all would. Maybe it needs financial incentive to get back up to speed.
3. [R10] Local Weather Radar & Forecast 2/5 · US You can do better, a lot better: I’ve tried using this on my iPad and not had a great deal of success, especially with the radar often not working. It shows that it’s loading data but it never (apparently) loads. I also don’t find the app particularly user-friendly. Maybe I’m expecting too much considering the fact that I am paying nothing. However, I believe there are better free weather apps out
4. [R19] Local Weather Radar & Forecast 1/5 · US Lots of bugs: Traffic doesn’t work. Moon Phase doesn’t work. Why can’t I have both Radar and Clouds on the weather map at the same time???
5. [R16] Local Weather Radar & Forecast 2/5 · US Not too happy: Lost traffic bout a month ago- cant get it back.
6. [R22] Local Weather Radar & Forecast 1/5 · US Doesn’t work like it did: Traffic is no longer working and the map portion no longer shows up taking a long time to load but never does now
7. [R4] Local Weather Radar & Forecast 2/5 · US Bad interface: Easy enough to enter my location, but could find no way to remove the default NYC location. Setting would be a good place for that. Or a check or radio button by the location. Or tap on the location to remove it. But no such control is visible. NYC has “favorites” under it. But there is no visible menu item or setting for favorites. I hate having to forage to find the way to make a
8. [R6] Local Weather Radar & Forecast 3/5 · US News: I live in Brooklyn NY. I could care less about what is happening in Boston.
9. [R13] Local Weather Radar & Forecast 1/5 · US Location alerts: Regardless of how many times I remove location NY. I get NY alerts for weather. I don’t live in NY.
10. [R18] Local Weather Radar & Forecast 3/5 · US Alerts: Why am I receiving weather alerts for New York, NY. I’m in north Florida.
11. [R21] Local Weather Radar & Forecast 3/5 · US It’s decent but needs upgrades: Please make a Dark Mode. Please make a paid version with no advertisements. Please send notifications from the app - it literally sends NONE. These are all basic. Please upgrade your app to do these basic things and you’d have a 5-star app
12. [R42] Local Weather Radar & Forecast 3/5 · US No weather updates: Everything about this app except for the absolutely no severe weather notifications is great. I have all notification settings on but nothing ever is sent. We’ve had multiple thunderstorms and never got a notification. Literally everything else is perfect about the app. So to the developers please try to make it happen. The app my radar lets you know exactly when it’s going t
13. [R7] Local Weather Radar & Forecast 2/5 · US Weather rain radar is poor.: The time for this should be much longer.
14. [R15] Local Weather Radar & Forecast 3/5 · US Good but needs update: I’ve been searching for a simple but informative weather app for years. I most look for a 7 day snapshot and I frequently use the radar. This app seems to fit the bill finally. But it needs a couple things to be 4 or 5 stars. Radar is usually overly complicated or buggy, so far I’ve been happy with this one. I still haven’t found one that auto plays. Why do I have to hit p
15. [R34] Local Weather Radar & Forecast 1/5 · US Wrong forecast: This app is very bad and inaccurate.Forecast is 90% wrong every time.! Can not predict even one day ahead. Radar is also inaccurate. It shows rain when it’s dry!
16. [R45] Local Weather Radar & Forecast 3/5 · US Ok: Don’t care for the radar, doesn’t tell me what going to happen in the next couple of hours, just tells you what’s happening right now.
17. [R12] Local Weather Radar & Forecast 3/5 · US Simple, easy to use,has some bugs.: This app is simple, easy to use. It has ads, but so far they merely obscure the bottom of the screen. It has a single bug that irritates me. When I look at the forecasts it also displays a radar map and when I need to look at the radar map alone the right third of the screen is obscured by forecasts. Instead of one screen for both functions it should have two se
18. [R27] Local Weather Radar & Forecast 3/5 · US Weather predictions: Do better
19. [R48] Local Weather Radar & Forecast 3/5 · US Depend: We depend on this forecast every day ! Farmers need to have accurate information!
20. [R52] The Weather Channel 5/5 · US Wonderful help tool: Helps me make plans... and keep up with family and friends all over the world, as well as Local on the 8’s.
21. [R53] The Weather Channel 3/5 · US To many ads: The whole ad thing started not to long ago. I get it. That’s how you make money. When you go none to some it’s an annoyance.
22. [R58] The Weather Channel 5/5 · US best ever: O keeps me updated every single day and I'm always on point with the weather
23. [R60] The Weather Channel 1/5 · US 90% Ads 10% Weather. Going back to Apple weather.: Absolutely horrible now. If you love endless adds taking up half the screen and popping up full screen forcing you to watch, then this is the app for you. It’s gotten so bad now that I’m going back to Apple weather. It chews up your data n sits there loading ads before everything shows up (so if you have minimal service, it takes forever beca

30. [R88] Weather 5/5 · US Weather boy: Honestly, I’m a really big weather fan and I think I’ll be growing up to be a storm chaser one day. I really like how the Weather app gives me information about storms before they hit so I can try to see what they look like. It gives me a lot of information and I can send things to them so they can like update the forecast.
31. [R94] AccuWeather 5/5 · US Easy to use, easy to cypher.: See Above
32. [R97] AccuWeather 5/5 · US My favorite weather app: This app gives the best mix of precise forecasts, radar and other tools of any I have used.
33. [R100] AccuWeather 5/5 · US Accurate weather forecasts: Love this app, it’s what I’ve always wanted and has everything I need to stay ahead of the storm. Thanks so much.
34. [R106] AccuWeather 5/5 · US A really good reminder for what whether is coming: I really like this app because it tells me when lightning or anything else comes to my country and it gives me notifications on my iPad and I check it every day and it is the best whether app I’ve ever had.
35. [R108] NewsBreak 5/5 · US A girl, but I will not say anything else: It is great. I love it and I heard about the crash on the highway. 155 but I ran almost all of it. I am a great reader. It is a great app app app
36. [R114] NewsBreak 5/5 · US AMAZING APP: I think the app is really good for finding crimes in your area I highly recommend.
37. [R117] NewsBreak 5/5 · US It’s good: 5 stars it’s good for crime maps
38. [R28] Local Weather Radar & Forecast 1/5 · US Traffic stopped working: I have been using this app for years. It has been my go to app for weather and traffic. The traffic part has stopped working. Very sad about this. I asked a friend who recommended this app if theirs was working and they also have the same problem. Would love to see this bug fixed and I’ll go back to 5 stars.
39. [R46] Local Weather Radar & Forecast 1/5 · US Limited information: While this is not the worst weather app, this one is very limited on forecast weather and overloaded with advertising. I use this to verify another radar app which is acting faulty.
