  8. [R75] Weather Radar 3/5 · US 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. Recently there have been so many ads including a pop up when I load the app even though I pay for a subscription. Now that I’ve canceled my subscription even though there’s over

[R64] 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”.

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

  18. [R46] Max Tracker Hurricane WPLG 5/5 · US 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.
