Store ratings include star-only taps from in-app prompts, which skew high. The peak and recent figures come only from people who wrote a review, which skews low. Compare each against itself: the drop is the signal, and a big gap between the two usually means heavy rating prompting is masking unhappy users.

Good app BUT

★★ · v1.24.0 · Oct 2, 2026

Good app but lately the CT and central Mass. county lines a a hot mess, sent and support email, and X message but nothing. If I am laying for the app. It can at least be accurate. I’ll give it till the next update then I’ll explore other apps.

AWFUL APP!

★ · v1.24.0 · Sep 30, 2026

Why can I not see the FUTURE radar?? Who wants to see weather that’s already happened, up to 3 minutes PRIOR?? It won’t even fully show up to the actual current minute! This is the dumbest weather app I’ve ever tried! Soooo many way better apps out there, FREE ones!! 👋🏼

Not much of an app

★ · v1.24.0 · Sep 22, 2026

If I can’t see the 2cd largest hurricane ever in the pacific on radar

A paywall for the features

★ · v1.23.0 · Sep 7, 2026

This app is done because there’s a generous payroll for the rest of the features in the app for one year it cost $100. That’s ridiculous. And entitled as for free. That’s a scam.

Great App, Terrible Accounting

★★ · v1.22.0 · Jul 3, 2026

For the few days that it worked this app was to notch, but then one day you can’t log in to your paid account and they tell you it doesn’t exist, it’s a worthless app.

Money Grab

★ · v1.22.0 · Jun 5, 2026

This is a money grab , trying to paywall model information and satellite information that free for public use . I would give zero stars if possible .

Must be a meteorologist to use

★ · v1.22.0 · Jun 2, 2026

Impossible to use, no guide. Every time I try to see the forecast, it gives me the last hour that I already know. Everything else you have to pay for. Most unfriendly app I’ve ever used. Deleted within a week.

Not an accessible app for blind people

★ · v1.21.1 · May 30, 2026

I am visually impaired and this app is totally not accessible. There are other weather apps that I think are much better. I did hear about this app to max velocity on YouTube. If it were more accessible, I would consider using it.

Future radar

★★ · v1.21.0 · May 9, 2026

Where is it? No way am I paying for it with so many more free weather apps that have it? Interesting I get out of the app and AccuWeather issues a “fog advisory “ but nothing from this app??? Makes you really wonder!!!

Another sub

★★ · v1.21.0 · May 5, 2026

You can get the same info by going to NWS at no cost. $9.99/month, no thanks.

Eh it’s good but with caveats

★★ · v1.14.0 · Nov 15, 2025

My honest critique is that most products are locked behind a paywall. I totally understand where y’all are coming from but at least some products should be free like reflectivity or total qpf on the HRRR.

The opportunity

What would it take to build a viable competitor, what would it cost to run every month, and a prompt to get started. Generated from the reviews on file; one LLM call per brief. Set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY for a real brief; the stub only fills in a template.
