★★★★ Andrew 5/7/2026 v26.1.1
I purchased the pro version 2 years ago and the recent update took my pro version away and is asking me to buy it again!?? I tried uninstalling the pro version cause it wouldn't update normally and boom pay wall. And im not about to pay for something I already did. Ridiculous.
★★★★ chuck mullins 4/25/2026
Lack of useful features. Didn't tell me how long ago nor did it have a way to see how far the nearest lightning strike was.
★★★★ Dr James Brown 4/14/2026
BS DOESN'T WORK !!
★★★★ phillip lovett 4/10/2026
If you really really like ads, you'll love the sheer overwhelming amount of ads that you have to sit through to use the app.
★★★★ Cody M. Jones 4/4/2026
I pay for the pro version. doesn't push notifications until I open the app. makes it useless.
★★★★ Txn 3/31/2026 v26.0.0

★★★★ JamSay 3/11/2026 v26.0.4

★★★★★ Augres Mich 3/15/2026 v26.0.4
Raised stars...Ad issues not resolved but somewhat improved. Deceptive ads....OPENED A WEB PAGE!!! UNACCEPTABLE!!!! Will UNINSTALL if continus to happen!! *PRIVACY CONCERNS! **Doesn't zoom in to most recent w/ proper setting.**** Need better designation for new strikes. ZOOM TO setting not working.Would like to have ability to have multiple locations so could track current location, home, second home.
★★★★★ Paul McFeaters 3/11/2026 v26.0.4
This app is too slow to update. I'm exhausted from looking at a spinning circle!
★★★★★ Eleanor K 3/7/2026 v26.0.1
wont give me alerts even though they are on
★★★★★ Dallas Bloxsom 2/23/2026 v26.0.3
radar stuffs up alot
★★★★★ Scott Olson 10/26/2025 v25.1.0
Used to really like the app. Now to increase performance all radar info is just Pixellated.
★★★★★ Matthew Crockford 9/30/2025 v25.0.1
extremely tedious ads.
★★★★★ Teri Horn 9/29/2025 v25.0.6
games pop up when you hit buttons to show weather. they are very intrusive, take up the full screen and are difficult to remove from your screen. They are situated close to the buttons for radar etc and even though you don't push them, there they pop up. SO ANNOYING!!! I don't want to pay $4.99 for no ads. Just make the ads so they are not so close to weather buttons. Or are you doing it on purpose so people are so annoyed they pay the 5 bucks? If so, not okay!!
★★★★★ Andrew Roberts 9/11/2025 v25.0.1
Seems very laggy compared to what I can see through various websites and misses lots of strikes that I see there too.
