New max defender weather App.

I have used your weather app for years till this latest version which really doesn’t deserve even a one star. I think it’s time you either returned to the previous one which was the best coupled with the new radar.

I am a retired NWA Pilot with 29 years of staring at Radars and until this new version you had a weather APP that was really good easy to use and second to none. I do not use it anymore I check once a week to see if you have finally admitted to your mistake and returned to the old one.

The old saying don’t tamper with success certainly applies here. The amazing thing is surely somebody has looked at the reviews and if so why hasn’t something been done. All the weather people keep applauding the app how can that be.

I now use Storm Radar which has at this point a great radar.

You know making a mistake is one thing not correcting it is the real mistake and I can’t believe you continue to use this terrible new version. Go back to the old trusted version that put you number 1 across the Bay Area and Florida.

Confused by bad reviews

I have an older iPhone 8 Plus and the app and radar has worked flawless. I haven’t had a single crash and it’s very accurate. I used the Weather Channels app for years but it isn’t accurate, I could be in the middle of a thunderstorm and the radar would show clear skies and not a cloud within miles. This app as of July 2021 is dead on with clouds and rain radar, I love it and almost didn’t download it from the bad reviews, maybe people have old phones or bad internet.

Not Broke Don’t Fix

I really do not like this new weather app at all. Its predecessor was clean and uncluttered. When you paused it, it had the yellow squares for high wind, the blue diamonds for hail, the green circles for strong thunderstorms and lightning, and the red triangles for tornados. I loved those icons because you tapped on them and there was important information. If those things still exist in this new app, then someone is going to have to show me where, because I can’t find anything in this new one. I wished they would have just left well enough alone and kept the prior app. Thank goodness that the Sky Tower 13 weather app still uses the old format. I absolutely love it. As of today I have totally switched to Fox’s Sky Tower 13.
