If this issue can’t be fixed I will be looking for another weather app
  12. [R18] MyRadar Accurate Weather Radar 3/5 · US Apple Watch Complication Disappeared from face: I have been running my radar as a complication on my Apple Watch Series 10 for quite a while now. It’s a great complication and I love it. But recently, I noticed that the complication on the watch was showing the same temperature and conditions without changing. It was apparently stuck. When I tapped on the complication, the actual weather was there

Watch compilation will show sun during night. My be minor for someone but it’s clearly wrong. Please fix. See how it goes for here
  16. [R19] MyRadar Accurate Weather Radar 1/5 · US New paywall: Looks like they put an oversized paywall on the app and it’s no longer usable for free. Uninstalled, will just use freebie websites now. It looks like it also contains known tracking spyware too.
  17. [R28] MyRadar Accurate Weather Radar 1/5 · US No longer free?: We always used this app to check where the rain was until the 1st of July. Now, we only get a screen to “try a 7 day trial” or subscribe for $29.99 a year. We are unable to get past it. Is this a “glitch” or is this no longer a free app? If this gets fixed & we can see the radar again without subscribing, I will change my rating to 5 stars because of how much we love this app.
  18. [R31] MyRadar Accurate Weather Radar 2/5 · US What happened to MyRadar App: I have used this app for years and it always works great, but a few days ago it no longer lets you past a page wanting you to signup for one year at $29.99! What’s up with that????? Leave it the way it used to be! I have friends and family all over the United States and like to see what’s going on in the World! It was nice to see the complete United States in one plac
  19. [R38] MyRadar Accurate Weather Radar 1/5 · US Bad Update: The last update broke the app so I will have to find another! They moved behind a paywall so to force everyone to pay. NOAAS is always free , no not the fake apps . Just go to the free website and shortcut it too the Home Screen and it works just fine!
  20. [R40] MyRadar Accurate Weather Radar 1/5 · US Used to be free but not anymore: Developers have pushed an update in the last few weeks such that within about 48 hours the app opens and the only option is a 7 day free trial with a $30 annual renewal. This app has been great for years but no more. It shouldn’t appear in a search for free weather radar apps.
  21. [R52] MyRadar Accurate Weather Radar 1/5 · US Stuck on asking for subscription: I used to use this all the time, now it just says 7 day free trial and the $1.99/month. Shows no weather, no nothing……..
  22. [R66] Weather & Radar 3/5 · US Too many ads: The app looked like it would be a good app to use but every other scroll were ads, many very sexual. I can do without all the junk.
  23. [R73] Weather & Radar 1/5 · US Too bad!: I was sorry to have to delete this app because it was my “go-to” beyond the other weather apps. However, when a Google ad covers important content without ANY way remove it … I’m out!
  24. [R90] Weather & Radar 1/5 · US Ad at crucial moment: The whole reason I got this app was for the radar component which most people raved about. I live in an area that is prone to severe storms so I like apps with good radar. I also understand that any free app including a weather app will have ads. Well THIS ONE has laces the longest, most annoying, unskippable ad in front of the radar. So you click radar and here is the ad for
  25. [R106] Weather & Radar 1/5 · US Sooo many ads: Soooo many ads. What’s evn worse is that now it features malicious fake ads. I had one a few moments ago that said there was an update available for this app. I kept clicking later and it kept taking me to a different app in th app store. Then I realized it was an ad made to look like an update notification. I am this close to deleting this app after that.

  27. [R47] MyRadar Accurate Weather Radar 5/5 · US Accuracy is the best: I work with solar panels on residential roofs so weather is always top of mind. For forecasting, MyRadar is by far the most current/updated and accurate weather app I’ve ever used and I’ve been tracking weather on apps for 10+ years.
  28. [R57] MyRadar Accurate Weather Radar 5/5 · US MyRadar: My Go To for accurate radar reporting. Has been especially helpful during Hurricane Season. Awesome service!!!
