  1. [R1] Storm Tracker° 1/5 · US False advertising: It was stating $4.99 a year but when you click on it then it changes to $4.99 a week
  2. [R2] Storm Tracker° 5/5 · US Great app for chasing: Very good app i love it besides the 10$ a week
  3. [R3] Storm Tracker° 3/5 · US Decent app horrible design: When I first got in the app it showed a black screen 📺 and it wants you to pay for hurricane tracking and wind 🌬️ tracking so it just charges me 29$ a year so I hope you read this thank you!!
  4. [R10] Storm Tracker° 1/5 · US $$$$$$: The free version has ads that block everything. The paid version is too expensive for the typical person.
  5. [R7] Storm Tracker° 1/5 · US Ads everywhere: Very aggressive ads that make the free version even ridiculous to use. Go with Weather Channels app instead.
  6. [R18] Storm Tracker° 3/5 · US Old was better.: They updated the free app and remove some functionality and it runs slower. If you were wanting to check a storm quickly you can’t anymore you have to go through a number of ads first. For this reason alone I would not recommend it.
  7. [R21] Storm Tracker° 3/5 · US Theres an Ad every time you open this app: Every time you check the temperature there like a 10 second Ad you HAVE to watch and can’t click out of. Otherwise it’s a good app.
  8. [R16] Storm Tracker° 1/5 · US Not showing any thing: I need help. I paid for the app and it’s not showing me what I see when I purchased the app. The pics show much more detailed information than what is on my phone. Please help me.
  9. [R19] Storm Tracker° 1/5 · US App does not work at this time. Do not purchase this app.: Do not buy this app, it is not working at all. It is currently not populating any current weather data or forecast data. Sent an email 30+ days ago and received no response from Impala Studios the developer. I have to assume at this time the developer is no longer supporting this weather app. It’s too bad it was once my favorite app.
  10. [R22] Storm Tracker° 1/5 · US App does not work: Prepaid for 1yr. to even gain access- only to find app does not work! Canceled subscription 5 minutes later- but still charged for the full year 😠
  11. [R4] Storm Tracker° 1/5 · US Lame: This app costs a fair bit and is worse than free apps that do similar things. I regret wasting my money and assume I misheard the person who recommended it. Even with paying, the radar function does not forecast (eg it stops about 5 ago) and the forecast screen show the same data any free app shows. I really wish I paid weekly so I could have tried it first. You can change temperature f
  12. [R6] Storm Tracker° 3/5 · US Laggy and Late: I have refreshed this app MULTIPLE times, and it still shows warnings from (as of now) 6 months and 24 days ago. I tried everything to try to get the map to refresh and be up-to-date when it comes to information and warnings, but to no avail. It is accurate, however, when it comes to tropical cyclones forecasts and radar images. This app is decent, but it has its flaws as well.
  13. [R13] Storm Tracker° 1/5 · US Wrong temperature: Do you ever go to your app and monitor the weather? No way it is 27 degrees in Texas but at the top it says 79 degrees.
  14. [R36] Storm Tracker° 3/5 · GB Past: It’s what has been not what’s coming ! Not that useful ,
  15. [R9] Storm Tracker° 3/5 · US Can’t find the forecast: I can’t figure it how to get the forecast?? Help! App support asks if I want a job
  16. [R12] Storm Tracker° 3/5 · US New phone: I purchased a iPhone 17 and storm tracker seems to have forgotten that I paid for a year.
  17. [R24] Storm Tracker° 3/5 · US I paid the yearly price for the upgrade but: I want to track what is happening in another address but this app only wants to track my current location. I tried entering the zip code of the other location but the search button did not seem to work.
  18. [R25] Storm Tracker° 1/5 · US App does not work: Cannot set a location to get any sort of forecast. Neither “use my location” nor typing in the location works, only a blank screen results. Also, upon first opening the app, there was no way to get past the subscription screen to access a free or trial version, though force-quitting and restarting the app did provide access.
  19. [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.
  20. [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.
  21. [R54] The Weather Channel 1/5 · US Needs updating: Why when I am at work does it say that I am at home? And when I am at home, it says I am at work? I have it set to know where it is at all times
  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. [R65] WeatherBug 2/5 · US Radar Now Useless on iPhone: For the past several months the radar will not display the future on my iPhone. Using the standard radar layer it displays correctly until it reaches the NOW point, then shows nothing past. When using the 1 hour future radar layer it displays nothing, now or future. This app was always far superior to the Weather Channel which always shows armageddon is heading our
  24. [R66] WeatherBug 5/5 · US Weather bug: I love this app ,it is very accurate
  25. [R67] WeatherBug 3/5 · US “Feels Like” 109° ???!!!: Looked at a different APP, and it was 8° different. Even inside the APP, the main page will show a number that’s WAY ABOVE the hourly temperature!
  26. [R68] WeatherBug 1/5 · US Inaccurate: this app has gotten worse and is completely inaccurate on temperature and radar
  27. [R79] AccuWeather 1/5 · US Radar sucks cock: Radar sucks.
  28. [R81] AccuWeather 3/5 · US Unwanted Notifications: I would like notifications of severe weather in my area. I do NOT want horrible notifications popping up on my phone about children dying in hot cars, etc. literally makes my stomach turn. Not what I signed up for.
  29. [R82] AccuWeather 2/5 · US Inaccurate weather: Do not use app for accurate weather .
  30. [R83] 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.
  31. [R93] Clime 1/5 · US Subscription based expensive: Other apps available with much lower cost
  32. [R94] Clime 5/5 · US Reliable: I have 3 weather apps and NOAA Weather is the most consistent and accurate weather app
  33. [R95] Clime 3/5 · US Very needed: I travel all over. It’s good at keeping me update on the weather. I have been disappointed with the accuracy lately. Shows rain when there is no rain.
  34. [R96] Clime 1/5 · US $$$$$: VERY LIMITED !! Unless you PAY LOTS IF EXTRA $$$, Compared to other reliable weather apps, you might just as well look at your thermometer & look out your window for what they give you here for free !! They won’t even give you additional info on NWS Severe Weather alerts and warnings, unless you PAY, & PAY, & PAY & PAY MORE !!!!! Ps… I actually get more specific & accurate information from
  35. [R107] Weather Radar 1/5 · US Useless to search other cities now: It’s almost useless to search other cities I’m traveling to now because the search only searches “City name, United States” ignoring that there are multiple within the country in different states. There is no way to narrow it down within the country by adding the state apparently and it doesn’t list them in the search listing. Incredibly annoying and poor user e
  36. [R108] Weather Radar 5/5 · US Good widget June 26,2026: I put my zip in the back it works now
  37. [R109] Weather Radar 3/5 · US We shouldnt have to pay for Noaa: Our tax dollars pay for this.
  38. [R110] Weather Radar 1/5 · US WARNING: 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 g
  39. [R15] Storm Tracker° 3/5 · US Revenue: If holding out the real time radar, for a premium membership, I’m not in favor.
  40. [R42] Storm Tracker° 1/5 · US Inaccurate: The radar is either way behind other weather apps or not even close to what other apps have and other apps are generally have similar map displays. Also has way too many ads and why does the developer need to have four Weather apps? Why not just develop one good one!!!
  41. [R50] Storm Tracker° 1/5 · US Always 30 minutes behind: I have been using this for quite a few months, and I use the Pro version that I paid for. Compared to reality outside my window, and compared to the National Weather Service radar which I also monitor, this app is consistently 30 minutes behind the true weather location. We are constantly hit by thunderstorms, and 30 minutes later they show up over our house on this app.
