- [R8] Weather Radar Storm tracker, radar channel NOAA network review: This was one of the first apps I downloaded and decided to actually pay for and it’s definitely worth it spot on better than any weather report that I’ve gotten or received. I’ll give it five stars and a big old thumbs up.
- [R11] Weather Radar Amazing: It is very accurate!
- [R35] Weather Radar Review: This is my go-to spot in deciding whether I should go out or stay home, how to dress, and what to take with me. I appreciate being able to do this so easily, and I also appreciate your accuracy.
- [R63] Weather ۬ Not happy with radar: I don’t like that the radar map only shows past maps. I want to see what is going on now and what is coming. Sorry that I purchased
- [R27] Weather Radar Busy busy!: The app has a lot of information but is a pain to navigate because the initial landing page is so busy. High temps being forecast are not visible until you “open” that specific day. Too much stuff on one small screen.
- [R12] Weather Radar The colors on the last update are silly: I loved this app until the last update. Now when you look at the radar, the box with the temperature is light grey with white numbers…who thought that was a good idea. I am not old and even my eyes can’t read it. Put it back to the dark background on the temperature box.
- [R66] Weather ۬ Why is it so slow?: Starting the app takes far too much time. It says it catches location, temperature, humidity … well, I tried many weather apps and no other need so much time. The weather might have changed already until the information is available. If it’s finally available, the information is very accurate, I have to admit that. But there are other things that are really annoying. I installe
- [R70] Weather ۬ Difficult to use: The first thing that comes up is adds. Just want to check the weather. Not useful.
- [R25] Weather Radar Stopped opening: Love this app, but it won’t open for me , can you please fix whatever bug is going on???
- [R28] Weather Radar App BROKEN: App recently stopped working and when I try to open, it’s just stuck on the opening page trying to load. I have deleted and reinstalled with no luck. If this isn’t fixed I will be canceling my subscription.
- [R79] Weather ۬ Ads - no weather: I never write negative reviews. This app is terrible. It gives you ads for mobile games and you can’t even view the weather. There’s no way of getting out of the ad it just sits there.
- [R103] Weather ۬ Nothing but commercial after commercial.: Nothing but commercial after commercial. Ridiculous app. Can’t barely see the weather there’s constant commercials. HATE THIS APP.
- [R19] 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.
- [R22] Weather Radar Who the H pays $6/week for Weather!!!: Something is TOTALLY WRONG with this site … from noaa? Seems like I fell into a trump business trap as the smell of SCAM is putrid
- [R69] Weather ۬ Not free: This app is not free. First you get 3 day free trial, then it’s $2.99 a week or you pay $19.99 for a annual subscription.
- [R4] 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”. 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
- [R34] 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.
- [R49] 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.
- [R67] Weather ۬ Update: I cannot get the update. I do not have the ap now.
