Greedy
An annoying pop-up keeps asking me to subscribe to “premium “ features. They say they don’t have any advertising, but they continually advertise their premium features almost every time you open the app. Radar map is decent, but the pop-up is happening too frequently. I already paid for the app. Stop asking me to give you more money. To the developers: No, I won’t shoot you an email to discuss purchase options. I said it all in the review. I don’t want the premium features. Stop with the annoying pop-up advertising before you lose more customers. Your response to me is a pathetic effort to make it seem like you care. What you care about is revenue. STOP WITH THE POP-UP ADVERTISING OF YOUR PREMIUM FEATURES!
DON’T UPDATE! February Update is buggy!
The February update (v4.4.38) introduced a bug in the daily forecast, whereby the app is now incorrectly displaying tomorrow’s forecast data as today’s forecast! I updated 3 of my 4 devices before noticing the bug. The remaining unpatched device works properly so the bug is definitely from the recent v4.4.38 update. To the corporate troll writing these so called “developer’s responses,” don't bother. I submitted a bug report with full explanation and screenshots almost two weeks ago and aside from the automated reply I have heard nothing from this outfit and the bug is still present. Good grief, what happened to this app? It used to be a great, but ever since they went to an overpriced subscription model, it’s all been downhill, slowly morphing into a cluttered, bloated dumpster fire where now they cant even get the daily forecasts info right. Sometimes more is not better…
App hasn’t been working properly for a good month
It keeps showing tomorrows weather today and I can’t see what’s happening for the day. Very not useful. Used to be the best app around
Bugs
Please fix your app. On 16.3.1 after a minute or so the precip starts flashing and then disappears altogether. The precip + satellite view doesn't show time lapse and eventually crashes the entire app.
Outage
Every time we have severe weather this useless application fails miserably. It constantly asks to upgrade what a joke never
Annoying pop ups
Annoying pop ups. How many times can I say no?
Formerly great app, now Click Bait
This was a great app that I PAID for in 2014. Sometime in 2022 I noticed that my future radar casts were gone but could be had back for an eye-popping $39.99 PER YEAR! Additionally, lightning strikes disappeared but could also be had back for the same eye-popping fee. Probably there are other previously standard benefits I can’t recall right now, but that are also now hidden behind your new paywall. I noticed some news articles in the fall of 2022 about the NEW & HEFTY FEE for your app followed by a comparison of the best weather apps available now, free or otherwise. My biggest beef is that I purchased this app 8 years ago. Then you took back the key benefit - future radar-casts - and offered it back to me for a HUGE ADDITIONAL, SUBSCRIPTION FEE. Not the covenant we made when you sold me this app back in 2014.
Paying for it doesn’t stop ads.
I installed this app years ago. To stop the ads, I p”purchased” it. Time passed, and now the app is nagging me to buy a yearly subscription for a breathtaking $30 per year. Weather radar is weather radar. The apps all use the same data base, so get a free one and deal with the ads. How this particular app colors the image is not worth $30. The app itself is OK, it’s just that I feel like the company broke the covenant from the original purchase .
steal your money for nothing!!! don’t buy!!
I paid for yearly subscription it does not work tried to restore, than reactive & I am now being charged twice a month & still does not work- no support, no refund- RIP OFf don’t buy!!!!
Not global at all
I fell for this because of the headline “global and US” radar. Nothing south of the Caribbean. North America only.
