Bad Logic. I live in Coos Bay Or. The app tells me that right now it's 82.9 degrees outside. This is giving me weather from Roseburg. I sincerely doubt that it's ever been that hot here. This is with location services on...
★★★★★the strategic monetization miss
Ads are highly suspect. I enjoyed this app enough after a couple of days that I was ready to purchase the premium version. Then I opened it today to find a full-screen ad designed to look like a security warning, implying my iPad had a virus or had been locked. The buttons to dismiss it didn’t work — the only functional option redirected me to the App Store to download a separate “cleaner” app. This is a classic scare tactic, and whether or not the developers are directly behind it, it’s unacceptable. Legitimate apps don’t use fake malware warnings to push users toward other products. I won’t be purchasing the premium version, and I’d encourage others to be aware of this before downloading.

Poor service. There is a tornado watch, and this service says sunny slight chance of rain!

No warnings issued. Missed several tornado warnings today

Pure rip-off - worthless. Continual effort to insert ads. Quit NOAA for this reason an now this app gives me same NOAA option either ads. Get a life folks, not the way to go. Deleting this app, too!

No longer my "go to" app for basic weather. Initial impressions are great. Before long, you see serious issues. NWS discussions are often cutoff. Daily forecasts are often for the night before, even at 8:00 AM. I can't trust this app for full forecasts.

Worthless. If you want to know the forecast temperature just guess because this app won’t do it. Currently the forecast shows temps at 77 for the next 7 hours. It’s currently 87. No idea where it is getting its forecast temp from possibly a three year old?!?!?!

Sales mechanism. This was the most reliable weather information source 5 years ago, now it’s just another screen huckster upselling anything it can
★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
Information is cut off. Every time I open the weather prediction the end of the paragraph is cut off. “… New rainfall a…” maybe don’t run a two sentence headline that bumps the information off the screen?

New version is terrible. This used to be my go to weather app. This “new” version is terrible. Realizing now that this isn’t an Official NWS app…..go figure.

Analysis. Can’t get for say analysis anymore. What happened to it?
★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
Trash. Just another garbage app. Worthless.

Weather forecast missing!!!. The forecast discussion is no longer in this app…. It is useless now … 😡

Disappointing-used to be great. So so many ads and pop ups, unnecessary charts, ridiculous dark on dark colors, clunky multi page interfaces, used to uae it daily, even hourly for my business, now i have to wade theough so much to get so little, I do without

No connection to reality. How do I not like thee, here are the ways… Open the radar, it shows Tulsa, OK. I’m in FL! It knows where I am, there is a white dot here on the map. It doesn’t really matter, the radar never shows anything! It says the temperature here is 76, it’s 72 (close enough). It says the temp next hour will be 80 (it’s been dropping all day, not buying that as it is raining). It shows alerts from 100 miles away, but not those from where I am (remember, it knows, see above). It was an ok app when I first installed it, maybe 4 stars, but it seems to get worse with every update. If it can’t do the basics …
★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors
It’s gotten worse. Why do we have to “improve” things that are not broken? This used to be a straight forward app that worked. Now it has moving backgrounds that just make it harder to read the text, today is Christmas and it shows 103 degrees for Phoenix. They are in the 60’s today. Keep it simple stupid..

Weather. Don’t like the new format

Temps crazy. The high in red and the low in blue temps. On the left hand side list of sites is extremely way of reality! Pleas fix it!

Notifications can’t be silenced. Okay app. Lots of info nicely displayed. Trashed it because the verbal notifications wouldn’t stop.

Awful. App never works, uninstalled reinstalled doesn’t work, new iPhone 14

Who approved this?. NOAA is a .gov site. Why are there ads from a Chinese site (Temu) that security warnings have been issued for? Why are they advertising sex toys? I have the screen shots. This site says it’s for ages 4 and above. Well done. Not for my phone or family.
★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions
Nope. My experience, terrifble! No accurate at all. It is 53 degrees here, thunder showers and this ap shows clear and 72 degrees. Not just a one time glitch. Has been significantly incorrect continuously. Paid for app but deleting after submitting this review.

#1PAPA. I really do not like this appThe old app seem to work much better than this improved one
★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
Terrible. This is the worst weather app I’ve ever had…it was really good on my droid but the worst on iOS
★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
Constantly reads 0°. Locations I’ve saved constantly show the current temp as 0° F. I live in the Deep South and I sure you it’s never 0° here. LOL.

Worthless. This app is worthless I down loaded it, and it can’t find Lincoln Ne .. what a useless app I deleted it already.
★★★★★inaccurate results and incorrect data
Junk - worthless. Inaccurate!! Current temp in my area below 20 degrees. The almighty NOAA and their app says over 50. That’s enough just right there to know it’s junk. Junk perpetuates junk - the app is cowded with adverts for their other junk apps, one that charges $300 a year for radar!!! Free in other apps like Apple’s own weather.

NOAA Weather App Review. I completely agree with Fly Fishing Aficionado:  Not as much detailed information as the NOAA Clime app on my iPhone. Consequently, I have to use my iPhone, rather than my new MacBook Pro, in order to get really complete weather forecasting over a period of hours on an hour-by-hour basis or over a period of days. Very disappointing. Spend a lot of many for a new, state-of-the art laptop and then have to use my iPhone to get better weather reports than on the laptop.

Radar. Radar is small can’t zoom in enough for small towns

Awful app. They only allow free users to use the most basic features, not hourly forecast. And they want you to pay to get rid of the ads… it’s a joke save your money and get weather channel.
