WARNING: ORA RIP OFF. Do NOT press “Skip” when new app opens - it automatically enrolls you in the “Free Trial” and there is NO WAY TO CANCEL in the app. Free trial does not show up in iPhone “Subscriptions”. I did the update of the old app and thought I’d at least look it over despite the several comments about the old version costing way too much and charging for free NOAA info that other apps gave for less or for free. I thought they might be under new ownership that wasn’t as greedy. The splash page took a long time to load. After it did, the first page offered a tour of new features and a “Skip” tour at the bottom. I pressed “Skip” and the next thing I know it’s telling me I’ve accepted the free trial. NOT!!! Went everywhere I could trying to find a Cancel Free Trial button but there’s nothing anywhere in the app for that. Yet it doesn’t show up in Apple Subscriptions to cancel. Can’t believe Apple allows this shabby kind of trick rip-off. You can’t even contact Apple about it. Where? How? Considering a formal FCC complaint.

Push to upgrade. Tired of having to by pass the upgrade request every time I use the app.
★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions
Why. You have to find how to get past the “buy my stuff” screen and pay for a bunch of stuff for it to be useful.

Charging for future radar. I can’t believe you’re charging for future radar. Gimme a break I can get that free from NUMEROUS other apps. I deleted this app🙄
★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions
Unbelievable. I just opened the app to see the weather and the first thing it has money money money money money money subscription subscription subscription so annoying. I hate it. I hated that all they want is money. I was just trying to compare which app is the best to have the most accurate weather but this is just ridiculous. It’s just sad how humans are in 2026 they just want money and they just wanna get money from everyone and they want easy money to work for your money. Don’t get it just buy a subscription monthly which doesn’t do anything.

Misleading. The app says there is a free option at the bottom but when you click on the free option it then tells you it's a free trial and it's $5.99 A WEEK NOT A MONTH.

App BROKEN. App recently stopped working and when I try to open, it’s just stuck on the opening page trying to load. I have deleted and reinstalled with no luck. If this isn’t fixed I will be canceling my subscription.

Terrible product. The is a waste of money. You get much better views & data from other apps.

Update fail. Since the update, my paid app does not open, not even the widget. I've uninstalled and reinstalled. I have iphone 13 pro. I try to ask for support and link takes me to some nonsense that is not support. I'd like a refund.

Bad design. Have to exit app one to open it then 3 prompts to exit out of. Then asks for a review

Too Bad. This service was reliable and steady until a billionaire with a K addiction cut funding to easily the most valuable intelligence system on Earth so he could fly flimsy and expensive cars to a planet he’ll never live on because his rockets are bugged worse than this app.

Not NOAA. This app is not what it says it is. It is not an NOAA app and would not allow me to cancel my three day trial.I’m stuck in this app for a year.

Shouldn’t have to pay. Shouldn’t have to pay for weather information that can effect people’s lives

Pop ups. Pop ups, advertisements, wonder why I even torture my self with your app
★★★★★inaccurate results and incorrect data
Weather info is incorrect. Says there is a winter weather advisory for front range Colorado. This is incorrect. There is no winter weather advisory with the NWS for this area. Plus the app sends notifications about this. Its. Joke
★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions
Garbage. I paid for this app years ago. Now when I use it, I get ads and a pop-up looking for subscriptions. Recently if I check hourly temperature in another state and they’re blurred. GARBAGE!

Bad. Terrible radar and very inaccurate.

Beggars. This app continuously begs for a yearly upgrade. Pathetic!

Hidden charges. I’m getting charged $5.99 every week and only just noticed it!! Totally hidden fee! This is a HUGE expense for the service. Cancelling now!
★★★★★inaccurate results and incorrect data
I can’t believe I spent money on this. This app is not very good, the radar is not accurate compared to the actual NOAA radar or even WeatherBug. I thought I was getting something better but I am very disappointed in it and especially because I just spent $20 on it and I don’t see where, I’m getting any value for that money.

Terrible. I downloaded it. Within 1 minute. Was asked. Go premium, ad pop up, location?, notification?, how are you enjoying the app?. So here’s your review. So far it’s terrible. Update: another pop-up the “close” X is hidden so your stuck hunting for it. But if you click “continue free” it tries the charge you. So shady and tricky. If you would be honest maybe I would subscribe.

Not Free. Why do we pay you?

Update review. Developer responded and asked if I had my settings for degrees or celsius, as my area said it was 21 degrees (its summer!) and yes it was degrees not celsius.

Weather app. It isn’t location specific. Weather Channel is better!
★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions
What the heck??. I paid $29.99 for NOAA weather when I first needed hurricane coverage due to living in south Florida. At the time it was an app purchase that was supposed a final purchase. Several years later I was asked to subscribe to subscribe to an app I had already owned for several years. This was before in app purchases etc. $29.99 felt like an investment in safety since I was employed in emergency management. Now I’m asked to pay $5.99 a month to use what I had already owned. I feel ripped off and bait/switched. Very disappointing

Bad radar. I live in chino valley and it’s hailing the radar on this app doesn’t even show the storm
★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
Insane. $5.99 a week, $311 a year for an app that was $9.99 a year. Please pay attention to money hungry app makers. This WAS the best weather app. Sad.

It’s a shame. I find it very disturbing that an organization known for being the “National Standard” and the literal eyes into storm identification and notification could put a price, and an exceptionally excessive price at that, on the safety of the United States’ people they say they are here to protect and notify. Find companies who will support your efforts and stop charging your customers who try to trust you to keep them safe. Shame on you!
