NOAA Radar & Weather Forecast 4+

Unlike the responses from the developers, you don’t get a free version.
You must accept notifications or it won’t even set the app up. As a weather spotter for Melbourne, Florida I’m always looking at new or different weather apps. Sometimes I’ll buy one that I’ve used extensively before making my decision. This app gives you three days to try and then it will automatically start charging you.
I won’t even give this app the benefit of me testing it because of this.
Those that are complaining about having to pay for an app that gets its data for free from noaa…NOAA supplies all its information free to you already. You are wanting to use a shortcut in the form of a convenient easy to use and understand app for your smartphone. That requires an app developer to spend their time, effort and money to create that app for you. Find a weather app that supplies that information free or poor quality or get it from your browser for free.
Complaining that your’re not getting something for free is poor form!

I tried this app at the recommendation of another sailor friend. This app lasted all but about 60 seconds on my phone after opening it. If you actually take the time to look at the written reviews, they are all one star. Company must be farming for paid 5 stars out of some app review shop in East Asia. You’ll be shocked to find an actual written review with something more than two stars.

Immediate upsell to premium at $9.99… a WEEK!! That’s nearly $520 a year. And if you switch apps for a minute, it recognizes you’ve abandoned their upsell and offers you a promotion of 50% off at $6.99. Last time I checked 50% off of $9.99 did not equal $6.99. Regardless even if you did get it at seven dollars a week, that’s still $365 a year!!! This app must pray on people who take the three day trial and then forget about it. The didn’t even stand my phone long enough to find out if any of the features were useful. Pay an annual fee to the weather channel for premium weather on their app and I think it’s $40 for the year!

The advertising and concept makes this seem like a robust weather monitoring and notification platform, but it is unfortunately not that at all. A lot of people have left reviews about the cost and why it’s too high. I’ll just say this, there are multiple apps for much less cost than this that deliver more.

The app has very basic alert options and didn’t come close to what I expected for the cost and advertising.

I’m an employer that needs to monitor heat and smoke for my workers to meet state compliance.
- I want notifications for specific temperature ranges when they occurs BUT Not an option with this app.
- I was wanting to get active AQI updates during wildfire smoke events And once again not an option.

Not to be cruel, but I honestly thought this was a scam app after a few minutes of exploring the capabilities. I’ll explain

There are many aspects about the functionality that seem to be broken, glitchy or underdeveloped.
- The top banner that shows the temp forecast is chopped off and the high and low for the day aren’t even fully visible
- when I select fire/ smoke there is nothing that shows up on the map to show smoke
- the wind option only changes color where most every other app also shows wind direction on the various area of the map.
-temperature is also just a various color map, not points of temperature for reference.

I could go on, but I doubt the developer cares or spends much time actually using this app themselves.
