Goofed up my phone. This app caused my location services to no longer function.

App needs updating. My Future cast for HRRR 18 hours 11/29/25 And GFS 16 hours 12/03/25 are out of date. please get the east coast up to date. I love the app I pay yearly on it. When it’s updated I’ll re edit this.

Very expensive. The prices are completely unreasonable
★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
Not free. After taking the trouble to install the thing, you find that the app provides absolutely zero weather information, unless you pay the developer’s extortion. The free version you think you’re downloading does not exist. Furthermore the “no tracking information collected” statement refers only to the nonexistent free app. After you pay your money and get the pro app, the developer will take virtually all of the information off of your iPhone, look you up on all the social media and and steal all the information they can gather there, and trade this information with data aggregators, before selling the sum total to advertisers and anyone else with the money.
★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions
Show costs. Can’t even get a multi-day forecast without paying.
★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions
No trial period. Don’t get to see what premium features you are asked to pay for look like before paying. Needs a trial period. Also, pricey for what this does, which is regurgitate the NWS forecasts with little alteration.
★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions
I have to pay for almost everything. I just wanna see the hourly forecast why should I have to have premium when I can just go on to the National weather service website
★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
Pay pigs. You really don’t get any useful information unless you subscribe. Pay up or everything you want to know will just result in a pop up telling you to pay them money. We’ve gone full circle, it’s now easier and more efficient to just turn on weather channel again.
★★★★★search fails to find what is needed
Awkward and Confusing. No matter how hard I tried, I cannot find a way to specify a city forecast. Apparently, there is no search feature for a location or city. Maybe it’s there but, I sure can’t find it.
★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions
Stay with the free one. I bought a yearly subscription—I assumed it would provide as much info as the free app but it a pain to use.
★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
Leaves some to be desired.. Would be a lot better if it had a free hourly forecast and radar.
★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions
Pretends to be an app from the National Weather Service. Just an app using NWS data and making you pay for that publicly available data.

Does Not Work. Waste of time, this app. Never works; forecast not found is all I ever read.
★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
Misleading. This app would have you believe it’s actually the national weather service and it’s not.
★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
Misleading; non-intuitive. The App Store fooled me into believing this app is by the NWS, but it’s a private person or company app. It is not at all intuitive. I wanted to see point forecasts for my area, but it is too much of a hassle to figure out how to get there.

Free app vs Pay app. Can’t even get current temperature or hourly without upgrading to pay site. Many other apps have that for free
★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
Stupid. Can’t get any forecast for my area.
★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
Current Temperature. They don’t show the current temperature?
★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
A lie. National Weather Service doesn’t own it, they bill you within three days and yet they never stated anything like this when you download it and you have to turn it off so they won’t bill you if you agree to any of it and then they trace you and everything you do under their jurisdiction says it in black-and-white and they’re a little terms of service agreement it’s 100% scam don’t use it

Go to NWS for free. It’s the same information with easier to use radar, graphics, and alerts. I regret buying this.

Garbage UI!. If you like playing guessing games, this is the app for you. The problem here is the same thing that plagues the software industry in general. The wrong people have the final say regarding the UI. Software engineers and developers are experts at code writing, but that does not make them experts in communicating with the everyday end user. Personally, almost everyone of them I have known are really nice people, but they need to let marketing make hand drawn hard copies showing how each screen will look. Marketing needs to hand carry these drawings to the coders, and they need to copy the me actually as they appear on the hard copy. All the UX studies are useless if the wrong person is deciding how to use that information.

Update. Went to App Store and did “update”. Pretty much useless now... no radar, fronts, etc. Sends you plenty of options to subscribe to their “pro” option.
★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
Waste of money. Don’t waste your money, it’s an okay app. But if you want more than what your phone will give for free you have to pay a monthly or yearly fee. I’m really disappointed.
★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions
Awful!. This is the worst app I’ve ever paid for. I open it and it spends so much time loading that I give up and use a different app. I can’t believe it’s still being sold. It doesn’t work. Ridiculous.

Felt too complex to use.. Felt too complex to use.
★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
No Horizontal Orientation. That makes it useless for me.
★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
No Widget. This app does not have a widget to show me at-a-glance info, so it can't replace the god-awful built-in app. I'd give it five stars if I had a widget.

Beware. Only for the U.S. nothing for the Bahamas or carribean. (Except PR and USVI)
★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
Wish I saved my $1.99. Waste of money. Appears to be a good weather app until you open it. Better off just using the NOAA website.
★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions
Point forecast only... no other maps!!!. I just paid for this app because of the extra maps, forecasts, etc. All I have access to is a spot forecast.... no other maps of any kind! False advertising... do not buy this!
