Clunky
I was a bit surprised to see so many negative reviews at first. If you use the app yourself you will see why. The app just doesn’t seem to be built well. Slow, a lot of functions are buggy. There’s also a lot of ads.

I was a bit surprised to see so many negative reviews at first. If you use the app yourself you will see why. The app just doesn’t seem to be built well. Slow, a lot of functions are buggy. There’s also a lot of ads.
It’s mediocre at best, compared to what’s already native on your phone. The radar is a still-frame snapshot, not live. The temps and weather predictions are nothing that you don’t already have on your Android or iPhone home apps. Worst of all this thing is riddled with advertising and annoying pop-ups.
This app used to be good and I used it several times a day. With this current version it not only looks retro to a fault, it doesn’t orient itself to landscape mode, making it useless on my tablet. Go back to the old version and I’ll come back.
The app used to auto rotate to screen orientation which was great for those using an iPad with a stand. Having to remove the iPad and change orientation is just not convent for normal usage.
This app is horrible. If you lost power and need updates in a hurricane, well you can find out about window vendors, or Experian, or any number of ads on this app. But actual news you need, live feeds of what is happening… Forget it! This app stinks. They say they are on your side. They are not. They give preference to advertisers and rich people who have internet connection somehow during a hurricane. The rest of us… not so much! They advertise “oh you can count on us in a storm.” What I can count on is a lot of advertisements and no live feeds when I’m in danger. I’ll pass.
Trying to watch hurricane coverage. Unable to because it is dominated by a roofing company commercial. I hit the x and it ignores me. Much better app available. I would rate below a 1 if able.
This was my go to app for weather everyday! Recent update will not allow the app to rotate to horizontal view on my Ipad Pro. Since I have a keyboard cover, the vertical view is unusable. Format changes were NOT an upgrade as well! Time to delete this app.
Seriously? Do you think iPads are just big phones? We have to turn full sized iPads sideways just to see your weather app. While I don’t particularly like the iPhone version, this app is unusable on the iPad. I used this daily for weather updates and now I’m removing it from my device. Thing is, I’ll probably never know if you fix it because I won’t load it again just to find out.
The app it self is very helpful but who ever decided to go with the CHEAP looking background needs to have a walk about moment and do some soul searching. :-).
Since the last update I have not been able to open the app. I had to delete it and I’m going to try it one more time.
