  4. [R11] Weather & Radar 5/5 · US Great weather App: Very informative and accurate. If it says it’s going to rain in your area in 5 minutes, it rains in 5 minutes. Dependable weather App.
  5. [R9] Weather & Radar 3/5 · US No weather alerts: I configured the settings to show weather alerts, but no weather alerts appear anywhere on the app. What kind of a weather app does not show weather alerts?
  6. [R15] Weather & Radar 3/5 · GB A great weather app: Weather and Radar is a great app. The information is clear, concise and well laid out with all the detail you could want close at hand. The ability to set various locations is useful and the weather warnings/alerts are excellent. I have already suggested this to my family and friends as well as those at work. Very impressive.
  7. [R29] Weather & Radar 5/5 · US Why is Weather & Radar so good…: Well. This can tell you what weather can happen next like a thunderstorm approaching and you look on the radar and see the future when it approaches. It sends you a notification what can happen next
  8. [R30] 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
  9. [R1] Weather & Radar 2/5 · US Ugly!: I couldn't get past the ugly design to see how well it works. Bad looking app!
  10. [R13] 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!
  11. [R24] Weather & Radar 3/5 · GB Totally spoiled by ads: Great app being taken over by ridiculous ads you sometimes have to close and reopen the app to get passed.
  12. [R3] Weather & Radar 3/5 · US Be Careful: Do not click any activation link in this app ! It is not related to this app. Deceptive ads !
  13. [R6] 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.
  14. [R12] Weather & Radar 3/5 · US Great app , but: Fantastic app , but the ads on it are incredibly annoying.
  15. [R48] Weather & Radar 1/5 · US DISAPPOINTED- Lost my favorite app :(: iPhone store still says it works on my phone and it always has, being my only annually renewed no ads subscription, but apparently over the weekend it started requiring iOS 16, but unfortunately I can’t update past 15.83, (so close) :) It’s a 10 star other than saying ‘the weather is lost’ on the app now.
  16. [R50] Weather & Radar 1/5 · GB Update app not working: Latest update June 2026 widget not showing anything this is one of the best weather apps until this update. I will update my review when it’s fixed

  19. [R79] 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.
  20. [R88] 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.
  21. [R91] 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
  22. [R98] 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!
  23. [R16] Weather & Radar 1/5 · US Adds: Too many adds promoting dumb stuff.

  26. [R75] MyRadar Accurate Weather Radar 3/5 · US Apple Watch: Been using this app for years and it’s great. However, on the Apple Watch it will not keep up live. I constantly have to click on it to see the current weather. Not it doesn’t even show up on the screen. Being that I use my watch everyday. If this issue can’t be fixed I will be looking for another weather app
  27. [R78] 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
