Weather Radar Widget Reviews

After reading an article on Gizmodo about the best widgets to add to your Home Screen I was very excited to try this application. I installed the application in the widget on my home screen as instructed by the application. I enabled Location services for the application as instructed however the widget appeared completely black and was not working.

After installing and reinstalling the application multiple times, deleting the widget from the home screen and adding it back to the Home Screen multiple times, toggling location services for the widget and restating my phone countless times I have given up and decided to delete WeatherRadarWidget .

I have it a solid 30 minutes of concentrated effort. I had so much hope for this widget but I was let down. I would recommend you don’t dedicate 30 minutes of your precious time to try to troubleshoot this yourself...

Maybe I have to pay but the program doesn’t know where I am and I can’t tell it. Fairly useless compared to other weather programs.

Worked for a few days and it stopped working

Comes up as location unavailable with new update. Set to current location on the widget. Please fix.

I like the weather widget but it’s alarmingly inaccurate from the widget and WeatherRadarWidget ’s perspective. I realize the developer has made changes since the apps launch. This is one area that deserves attention immediately.

After the update that mentions correcting the widget update the widget is still not updating.

Seems the developer didn’t alert us about subscription in WeatherRadarWidget . Next step is ads without warning? To access new themes we should pay a subscription. Now WeatherRadarWidget is becoming like another “tidbit” app.

I am not a fan of the default color scheme. The use of light blue for rain is not appropriate here in the northeast US. Most other Radar Apps use green for rain to yellow and red for storms and blue shades for snow. I prefer not to pay the “Pro” annual fee to even try out another color scheme.

Works fine sometimes, does what’s it’s supposed to, and then suddenly it’ll say location unavailable. When you open WeatherRadarWidget , it asks you to enable location services…which are already enabled and hasn’t been changed. After exiting the settings app it can suddenly find my location again. I’m kinda tired of constantly babysitting a widget.

Main app is working but widget does not automatically update every 10 minutes. Disappointed.

I signed up for pro. Is there any way that WeatherRadarWidget can show the projected movement (or the direction) of a storm over a period of time? Can you put in time lapse like some other radars show?

Great beginning for a useful widget. Needs to be more consistent at updating when it is active.

But the color of rain should be green !

So I’ve discovered that the best weather radar which it for iOS 14 is also the one that’s free. It’s also the one that doesn’t force you to take up half your screen with someone else is content. It’s perfect. You can zoom to city, region, or wider views on your ZIP code.

It updates every 10 minutes. So it doesn’t use too much data or battery, and if you see something approaching you can pull up the radar of your choice and dig deeper. It also looks like it is sourced from Dark Sky which is great. Perfect.

Developer responded to my issue with blank widgets and promptly corrected the problem that some users have been experiencing. Rating updated.

Downloaded not expecting much, but this is a very good app. Its extremely clear and easy to use, setting a location is as simple as selecting one, and it shows very accurate data. Definitely worth a download

Suddenly I lost all my settings and my pro subscription. Tried to restore it unsuccessfully.

Very sad.

I wish we could change the color of rain on the widget to green but the widget is great otherwise 👍🏻
