Radar US no longer updating

MAGA
Lists Gulf of Mexico as Gulf of America. BYE!
No Longer Working

Go to radar app for storm chasing
The simple interface and lightning fast updates make this my go to radar app when chasing tornados. There are more advanced ones out there but I find my self going back to this one time and time again!
Update: 4 Nov 24
Sadly, the app doesn’t seem to be supported anymore. The app constantly freezes and crashes and no updates are available. Looks like a possible cash grab and run.

Outdated
This app used to be so great that I paid for it (years ago). It is no longer updated adequately, and does not work/display anything appropriately. Sad!
Not working during weather emergency
Have loved this for years. Now with Helene bearing down on where I live, the app is not working. It says “network unavailable or
slow. Retrying”. DO BETTER NOAA!
slow. Retrying”. DO BETTER NOAA!
Paid for app
App function has been poor or non existent as of 7/24/24 paid for an app service that I am not receiving. Have been using it since inception. For over 14years!
Simple yes accurate NO
Says clear out it’s pouring rain but doesn’t show that
Paid App has become very buggy
Doesnt update, freezes, crashes.
Look elsewhere

App freezing on startup
Has just recently started freezing on startup. It has to be exited by swiping the app closed, and then will work for a while until it freezes again. I see a spinning symbol at the top of the screen as if its trying to retrieve data from the network but never completes. Has been a simple but useful app which suffers from a lack of features that so many other apps have now. Freezing on startup now makes me looking for other apps.
App has stopped working
Since the latest iPhone update, this app has stopped functioning correctly. The app has to be continually closed and read opened for it to not lock up please fix. This was a great app at one time.
No longer working
App has not been updated in a few years and no longer functions properly.
Sorry but I'm done
No snow & ice. No update in 3 years. Now it's not even showing me anything for the last 4 hours. Developer has clearly abandoned this app. Unfortunate b/c it was excellent at one time. Moving on to an app w/ a developer that cares.
No longer functional
Loved this app. Was my go-to for radar. But now that the snow & ice no longer show, it’s not very useful.
Endlessly interrupts for a review
Endlessly begs for a review , which is a shame because otherwise it’s an honest app that works well.
Used to be a great app
The app no longer works well. Crashes if you try to come back to it after looking at another app. Also does not update like the other noaa apps. It can be behind as much as 40 minutes
Glitching
I’ve had this app since maybe 2011. Recently, it has been glitching so often and so badly it’s rendered the app useless to me. I rely on the radar and this app has become un-reliable. It’s a shame because for so many years it was so good.
No warning polygons
Why are the warning polygons missing??!!
Was a nice app Now doesn’t show snow
I have used this app for years but for months now it only displays rain shading (grays and greens). No pinks and blues for frozen mix and snow. It’s snowing right now here and the temperature is 24°F - the app shows rain. It would be nice if someone fixed this.
Used to be so much better
This app used to have high res radar and show where it was snowing. Now it does neither of those things. The radar loop is also very short compared to other apps like weather underground and weather channel.
Useful
Use it daily:) The background color changed to shades of green making it difficult to see weather conditions:(
