Great App, no annoying advertising

Everything seems to work pretty good with this app and no annoying ads. Only one thing I found as a negative is that it didn’t keep up with my location that well to warn me of incoming storms. While another app I have warned me, this one did not (and both seem to use the same “Safety Net Alerts” settings setup). Also, I don’t know if this is an app issue or my phone, but for some reason my phone gets really hot temp wise when I use this for more than a few minutes.

Latest Update - Excellent

Been using this app for a few years. The latest update has made this my go-to for weather radar, current conditions, and forecast. Nicely done and free! Some have reported battery life issue. As with any app, adjust settings. Set your location settings to “while using” instead of “always”. Also turn off background app refresh. This will help battery life as with any app. Excellent app, I recommend it.

My “go to” weather app living in Florida

Excellent app, and as it is Florida Public Radio, no adds. This is good for everyday thunderstorms, but ..excellent.. for hurricane season. Overlays show forecast track, warning areas, etc. Easy to access evacuation info, zones and checklist. All the information you need is here and easy to find. Living through Hurricane Dorian’s approach as a CAT 5, this has been invaluable.
