So, I used to love this app. It worked very well up until the latest OS update. I emailed the developer to advise them of the issue and it is apparently a known issue with no timeline for a fix. The issue, if you try to share a clip it crashes. Also, seem to have layer issues with boxes appearing around the map and effecting the graphic animations. Would love to make it 5 stars...

Not sure what's going on. I've had the subscription for 2 years now going on 3 and this year the models seem way off for predicting storms/rain. They weren't perfect to begin with. But about 3 days in advance I could get a good idea. Now it's just random where it decides it's going to rain and have storms that never matches up? 5 stars for the 2 good years. But I might have to cancel my subscription now and look elsewhere unfortunately.

This is the number one best free weather radar app I've ever used. Not being harassed to subscribe no ads so far, the data is accurate and the app run smoothly with no bugs or glitches. On top of all that the app doesn't require collecting personal data it has no need for like all of the other big weather apps that need 10 plus permissions to view all your personal data on your device.
