- [R75] Weather Radar Too many ads even for paid users: The app is not very intuitive but I mistakenly thought it was the best available for the rural micro climate I live in so I paid for it which unlocked longer weather radar and reduced ads.

- [R64] Weather Radar 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”.

Max Tracker was my favorite storm tracking app and kept me updated and feeling safe and prepared after Hurricanes Irma and Maria.

Please, please, please fix so I can go into the storm s
- [R46] Max Tracker Hurricane WPLG Hurricane info: Live in the FL Keys and have always liked and relied on this app. I notice there are no longer spaghetti-trail predictions for hurricanes, or if there are, I have yet to figure out how to access them. These help me decide whether or not to consider evacuation. What’s up with that? It was a valuable part of the hurricane portion of the app.
- [R94] Weather Radar Update fail: Since the update, my paid app does not open, not even the widget. I've uninstalled and reinstalled. I have iphone 13 pro. I try to ask for support and link takes me to some nonsense that is not support. I'd like a refund.
- [R109] Weather Radar Not NOAA: This app is not what it says it is. It is not an NOAA app and would not allow me to cancel my three day trial.I’m stuck in this app for a year.
- [R79] Weather Radar Misleading: The app says there is a free option at the bottom but when you click on the free option it then tells you it's a free trial and it's $5.99 A WEEK NOT A MONTH.
