This app is sad to say the least you have a lot of work to do to make this app better.
I use this app a lot. It’s fun to check weather in the lower 48 where I have friends and relatives. I like being able to get the local forecast, but I still wish they’d have the radar work better for Alaska. It is NOAA radar, and Alaska is part of the US. I still give it a 5, but I’d give it a 5+ if I could get Alaska on the big map.
Junk
Looks like the radar issues have been fixed. The radar is now showing again correctly.
100% better than NOAA radar images. Nice user interface, expecially as it is now immediately available on the dock.
Good app that works pretty welll. Still has some minor bugs.
I use it every day.
This is my go-to weather app. I deleted all the others and I never check any other weather app. Why? This app is Accurate and Reliable. No other source is needed. I’ve been using it for 3 years and it has never missed the mark. After checking the weather forecast for travel my husband will often times ask me what “my” app says. and it is always the accurate on. I love this app.
I have had this program on my Apple desktop for many years. I love it. If you want a simple look at the radar it gives you two windows "local" and "national". Then across the top you get the quick 7 day forcast. I look at it first thing every morning. In todays fast moving world this little program delivers quickly. I lost my radar display once. I emailed the company. In about 3 days they down loaded the latest fix and I am grateful for the quick response. Get it you want regret it.
App provides information that others don't. However, I found the menu awkward and somewhat confusing - had to learn to operate the app by trial and error.
