  1. [R1] Storm Tracker° 1/5 · US False advertising: It was stating $4.99 a year but when you click on it then it changes to $4.99 a week
  2. [R4] Storm Tracker° 1/5 · US Lame: This app costs a fair bit and is worse than free apps that do similar things. I regret wasting my money and assume I misheard the person who recommended it. Even with paying, the radar function does not forecast (eg it stops about 5 ago) and the forecast screen show the same data any free app shows. I really wish I paid weekly so I could have tried it first. You can change temperature f
  3. [R61] WeatherBug 2/5 · US Radar Now Useless on iPhone: For the past several months the radar will not display the future on my iPhone. Using the standard radar layer it displays correctly until it reaches the NOW point, then shows nothing past. When using the 1 hour future radar layer it displays nothing, now or future. This app was always far superior to the Weather Channel which always shows armageddon is heading our
  4. [R71] WeatherBug 5/5 · US PA Resident: I personally like the features ie, spark lighting, weather-map tracking, and keeping track of my loved ones in other states.
  5. [R9] Storm Tracker° 3/5 · US Can’t find the forecast: I can’t figure it how to get the forecast?? Help! App support asks if I want a job
  6. [R34] Storm Tracker° 1/5 · US This app sucks!: I wish I could give it zero! I can’t change my location, I can’t get forecasts. I paid for a subscription- I can’t get a hold of the idiots who created the site, when you push send to contact them, poof, it disappears, just like my trust for this useless product. If l see a charge, I will stop payment!
  7. [R119] WeatherBug 5/5 · US It’s Easy: I’m in my eighties and I have no problem getting a clear picture of what I can expect for weather because the WeatherBug has made it so easy to use the app. Thank you WeatherBug people. You apparently care.
  8. [R104] WeatherBug 5/5 · US Very Accurate: We use this app in a Security Operations Center I work at because it’s very accurate! After I found out about it I downloaded it on my phone to use it personally too. Absolutely love this app!
  9. [R19] Storm Tracker° 1/5 · US App does not work at this time. Do not purchase this app.: Do not buy this app, it is not working at all. It is currently not populating any current weather data or forecast data. Sent an email 30+ days ago and received no response from Impala Studios the developer. I have to assume at this time the developer is no longer supporting this weather app. It’s too bad it was once my favorite app.
  10. [R40] Storm Tracker° 1/5 · US Don’t waste your money: I paid for the premium subscription and the app will not recognize my city. It always says no data available.
  11. [R79] WeatherBug 1/5 · US The app is not working: This has always been my go to app for Weather. I've had this for several years and hardly ever had issues. The past few months this app has not been working. It's not notifying me for Weather alerts, the temperatures are inaccurate and it's just not pulling up when I need it to. It's deleted. hopefully you guys can figure out the problems and get it straightened out.
  12. [R115] WeatherBug 1/5 · US Love hate relationship: When it works it's great but has become very unreliable. Will not renew subscription
  13. [R10] Storm Tracker° 1/5 · US $$$$$$: The free version has ads that block everything. The paid version is too expensive for the typical person.
  14. [R7] Storm Tracker° 1/5 · US Ads everywhere: Very aggressive ads that make the free version even ridiculous to use. Go with Weather Channels app instead.
  15. [R67] WeatherBug 2/5 · US On my iPhone and iPad: There’s a bug where an Ad game comes on and won’t allow me to move or click on to get rid of it. The issue was fixed but it’s back again.
  16. [R16] Storm Tracker° 1/5 · US Not showing any thing: I need help. I paid for the app and it’s not showing me what I see when I purchased the app. The pics show much more detailed information than what is on my phone. Please help me.
  17. [R46] Storm Tracker° 1/5 · US No Support: My app started leaving red and purple pins in random places around the world. There is no way to remove them and ZERO customer support. When I pay money for a product I expect at least one person to work at the company that is taking my money.
  18. [R91] WeatherBug 1/5 · US Alerts: No matter what I do the app isn’t sending me alerts. It used to-I don’t understand why the alerts stopped.
  19. [R73] WeatherBug 1/5 · US Glitch or no longer user friendly: Goin g to have to find a new app. It will no longer allow me to remove previous cities I have added but now no longer need. Have tried to contact weathering without success. Is this a glitch or just no longer user friendly
  20. [R3] Storm Tracker° 3/5 · US Decent app horrible design: When I first got in the app it showed a black screen 📺 and it wants you to pay for hurricane tracking and wind 🌬️ tracking so it just charges me 29$ a year so I hope you read this thank you!!
