NOAA Live Weather Radar Negative Reviews
Warnings??I downloaded this and was doing the free trial of premium because we had severe weather in the area and often tend to have bad weather throughout the year, hurricanes etc.
Upon downloading, I enabled location services and it did go to my area… we were under a tornado warning, and my other weather apps showed 10 alerts of different types. The radar looked terrible both on my other apps and the local tv station… we had hail and flooding, yet this app showed light green with some yellow to the west of us kinda far off. How?? No alerts?? We had a tornado touch down 10 miles away, and this app showed absolutely nothing!!.Courtney4367732Version: 1.23
Forces you to 3 free days, then you have to pay - not for iPadsThe first thing I noticed is that it is only in portrait mode, yet maps are much better displayed in horizontal mode. I have a large iPad for my eyesight, and I don’t like apps that squeeze everything into a tiny sliver.
Then, before I could even see anything about the app, it tried to force me to a subscription plan – 3 days free, then $6 a week (which is $312 a year!). Um, nope! I’m not about to spend that kind of money on an app that can’t even go into horizontal mode on an iPad.
Deleted the app immediately..Complexity2Version: 2.0
Pay for nothingThe very first thing, the second i open this app for the first time ever im taken instantly to the purchase premium screen..what a joke. Premium service for basic weather monitoring? This app does the exact same thing as an other weather app, but worse. It’s laggy, slow, and has extremely poor quality. Do not waste your money on this thing’s premium because you are getting nothing extra or special.Chompy___Version: 2.6
No i wont be paying extra to track hurricanes.This is a weather app, why would you want an app that will only help you track wind and temperature, and that puts all other weather, even emergency weather, behind a paywall? I think it’s disgusting. People who need to watch for storms often should just look at their local news instead or find a different app that isn’t run by money grubbing psychopaths. This app is garbage..Rubie LunaVersion: 1.25
Everything costs extra!I downloaded this hoping for an accurate weather app. I immediately deleted after a few minutes when I realized I couldn’t get basic information unless I subscribed and paid for the app! There are many other weather apps that will provide WAY more information for free than this app will. Disappointed..EtxkjonesVersion: 2.7
Rip offThis app is way to expensive for the very limited features it has. Even basic features are missing. It also annoying that my town disappears off the map when I zoom out more. However, I should be able to focus or keep my own town in the map when I zoom out more to see a larger storm relative to my town..FlyinghoofsVersion: 1.3
4.6 out of 5?!! Ha!!The very few reviews available are either one star or read like a simpleton robot. The Majority are one star for good reason. It’s junk. It doesn’t work for the most part and it hides behind The National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration. Snakes. Go to your App Store and discontinue the three day trial to get your six bucks back if purchased.
Six bucks a week that is! Until you cancel.AgwaaaaaaVersion: 1.7
Why do I need to pay for safety just do ads much easierYou’re making us pay for safety that is not good the free version only has radar just use weather mate and noaa weather stop making us pay for safety and feeling safe at all. Tell me why you ask for money use ads how hard is it don’t forget my question and don’t lie or use AI.Verona WiVersion: 2.7
Awful ad heavy appWay too many ads, not even run by NOAA. Wants $5.99 a WEEK to be able to view the screen, which is only about 60% visible due to the constant in app advertisements and shoddy placement of icons. High ratings are probably paid reviews. The developer responds with empty words. This app is a money grab and not worth the time to download it..ElephantbotVersion: 1.17
DisappointedI downloaded this app and right away it wants you to sign up for premium. That’s NOT ‘in app purchases’ which is what the description says. It’s- this app costs money. I wish these apps would be upfront and honest about the costs and stop wasting my time downloading and deleting!.Photomama123Version: 1.27
Issues with screen size of iPhone 15 MaxI have an iPhone 15 Pro Max - the application does not fit correctly on the screen and is cut off around the edges - making some features and navigation inaccessible. Restarted app, restarted phone, redownloaded app - problem still persists..Caseythomas87Version: 2.0
Pretty GarboPay $6 to be able to live check the hurricane… or see anything with any real details… in a time of need putting profit over people is kinda crazy to me. Downloaded another app that allows live updates on hurricanes without charging….Brandooo_3Version: 2.5
Not worth a subscriptionWon’t let you see the radar forecast for the future unless you pay. Both the Apple Weather and Weather Channel apps do that for free. There’s no point in using this app over the competition..Phone PhilmmakerVersion: 1.3
Zero starsI need it track a hurricane and advertises the fact you can check hurricanes but not that you will have to pay for a monthly subscription for it when I need it to check a hurricane right now not all year.PicassotheartistVersion: 2.5
Not worth the effort.Between pop up ads and limited functionality in the free version does not give me anything useful..RJKBIIIVersion: 2.4
Wants you to sign up for premiumWent to try this app. Got through all the pre-reqs and then it tells me I have to agree to the free 3 day trial and then get charged for using the app with no way of not accepting..Daryl95BVersion: 2.7
Doesn’t show clouds where I live.This thing doesn’t show clouds or anything near my area. Only other states. How come I’m from Chicago and I can’t see no clouds even though there’s a STORM happening right now? Wow! Thanks so much..Angel_minecraft123Version: 2.3
$60?!?!?!?They raised the subscription rate from $10 a year to $60! Are you out of your minds? There are plenty of weather apps out there that have a reasonable subscription rate. Get one of those..DcNurseVersion: 2.7
Forecasts the past-don’t bother with this appDon’t waste your time downloading and getting through all the subscriptions and ads. Who is using this? How is it rated so high..Movie Reviews momVersion: 2.3
Too many adsI just downloaded this as a hurricane is hitting my state and I can’t get to the info at all. Constantly being bombarded by ads. Deleted.Tjsch123Version: 2.5
It’s not free!Ad says FREE live weather… after you download then it’s $5.99/ a week and cancel
Any time.
That’s not same as free.Charolais CharndoneyVersion: 2.2
Makes you pay for hurricane data during MiltonHurricane information behind paywall for Milton at its critical point. Prime example of why NGO should not be trusted with your best interest in mind..Almost Caught OneVersion: 2.5
Too many adsToo many ads. Always pushing for a pay for service subscription. This is billed as NOAA. Just an app to charge for free service..JbohacheffVersion: 2.4
Just a money grabKeep your credit card in hand. Just trying to review the app, every button was a fee..DonRCollinsVersion: 2.3
Don’t downloadApp is a ripoff. Wants you to pay an $6 weekly subscriptions to use features you can get free on other weather apps..HiKidsDoYouLikeGunsVersion: 1.26
Dont botherBubble with temperature blocks your view of what you want to see. constant incessant nag screens. Weather bug is free and has more features..Rudybird42Version: 1.23
This is in fact a paid appYou have to pay to make it even vaguely useful.Mr. YzermanVersion: 1.27
More ad than function.So many one-star reviews, how the heck did this app get 4.6 average rating? Google sponsored apps cannot be trusted..EngSci1T3Version: 1.26

ScamShows no weather when my other weather app shows storms. This is junk. Do not get this app. It deserves no stars.Buck-hunterVersion: 1.9
WTH??Downloaded and deleted within 5 mins. Dinged my Apple account $5.99! Don’t recall agreeing to a subscription. I want my $5.99 back. What a scam. Downloaded beware!.1959RenserkVersion: 1.20
‼️DANGEROUS‼️If there’s bad weather, DO NOT download this app. You won’t get any useful information. Turn on the radio or go straight to NOAA’s free website instead..AndroidPrincessVersion: 2.3
No free version, forces you to sign up for trialEven though the app store says it’s free, you MUST sign up for “free 3-day trial” and cancel later. No thanks!.FranktheEngineerVersion: 1.25
TerribleCan’t get past the ads to actually use the app..Buddy BobVersion: 1.17
Crazy inaccurate!This app wasn’t ready for distribution. Try again..AljenewaVersion: 2.6
Not Free!Everything you want to see comes as a 3-day trial and then $5.99 per WEEK to continue. No thanks!.Lblizzard27Version: 2.4
No place to cancelI do not want this app. There is no option in the app to cancel. I made a mistake downloading this..DustinroxVersion: 1.26
Was not expecting NOAA name on a private app.I thought it was a government supplied app for NOAA Weather.
This is a private developer that should use another title for the weather app and not pirate the name NOAA..Paul MurkVersion: 1.12
Junk!Couldn’t get past the ads. Unusable. Waste of time..Sir EmbretVersion: 2.3
No way to cancel free trial - $5/week!Spent 30 mins trying to cancel the “free trial/cancel anytime” - no apparent way to cancel $5/week!.No way to cancel $5/weekVersion: 1.25

Not actually NOAAThis app is an imposter. Don’t give them you’re money.Haifa MayVersion: 1.10
Fullscreen adsThis app is just one massive ad.NoelAPVersion: 2.5
Expensive, lacks features and buggy$24/month subscription!
Might be worthwhile if the app delivered. Not yet ready for much more than alpha or maybe beta testing.
The photos don’t represent what is shown.
The layers don’t contain much besides the map and a color to indicate something undefined. No legend. No means of turning a legend on. Temperature layer showed no temps. Wind layer showed no breeze rates.
Buggy. I specified Fahrenheit but got Celsius on the screen that showed a temp for my community. After verifying I had set it correctly I could only accidentally trigger the page again.
Buttons at lower right are too close to sides to be consistently accessed except by stylus.
Hope development continues as the concept is good. Delivery of concept is poor so far..GraniteRobVersion: 1.2
