Car.Play Weather Navigation Reviews

by Seap276

Just cancelled my trial subscription. Search feature worked sporadically then when I clicked on what it found the route only came up about 10% of the time. The screen colors didn’t match Apple CarPlay colors and it took too many steps to try to match CarPlay. The speed limits did not display on the screen.

by Bigpoppa44

Tried to opt in for the pro, but every time I touch the screen nothing it’s like it locked itself off. There’s a countdown timer on the upper left hand of the screen when it comes down floating and then nothing it goes right back to the countdown time againcannot enter any information cannot touch any of the settings just there

Used on a cross country trip. The weather only updates every 10mins or so. My experience was that I would have already driven through the storm front before it shows on the screen. Not impressed with the navigation either. I’ll stick with Waze and local weather radar.

by Sanford0

Looks like it could be a decent app to have if weather is accurate however it does NOT have the feature to avoid interstates, etc like the other mapping programs have. Add this feature and I’ll look at it again. Not sure how many stops it allows but should allow at least 15-20 for good routing.

by Bronco8455

The radar was more than 2 hours behind and didn’t reflect the current conditions in my area. Also have to pay to use the navigation feature.
…..and don’t get your hopes up for being able to use it for navigation. When you tap on the destination button it will ask you to sign up tor a subscription. Not worth paying money for when it is so delayed. Would be nice if they had a free option that included navigation features

by APPLE4us2!

I'm not sure I understand the point of CarPlayWeatherNavigation. I already have this and two Weather format systems on my phone that both appear in my car if I want them these weather systems aren't moving their stationary on the map, so what's the point you're showing the same thing other weather app show and there's move to show the direction of the weather. This thing doesn't do anything, oh well that's what you get for free

by Ps1001001

The GPS directions don’t work well. Keeps loosing routes. Can’t adult map to always point north. Has difficult time working with Apple car play. Would rather use Apple, Waze or Google maps and switch between live weather radar. I had high hopes for this since I’ve been looking for an app like this for riding motorcycles. Very disappointed. One star is more then I should give it

by BeardedOne44

Seemed unreasonable that they would even charge for something as poor as this. Usability is practically missing altogether. When it is something usable maybe then you would consider charging? I use SiriusXM Traffic + SiriusXM Travel Link which shows active weather within 10 minutes if real time.

by PlanoDave

Cool idea for an app but the free version doesn’t show enough to pay for it. All you see is 2 hour old radar info. I guess you have to pay to see relevant current radar and check out navigation. No thanks.

by Teddyk1

The paid version is giving you nothing more then other apps are for free. It’s a hefty price and its not that great.I would like to see a live radar image moving . You may say its not possible but yet you advertise this to sign up for the pro version. Misleading . I dont trust anybody that resorts to such tactics.
Im getting all CarPlayWeatherNavigation does free from MyRadar . With a nicer interface. For FREE. Why would I pay for this . Give me something that nobody else does and I dont Ming paying for it. Give me a live moving image with temperature forecast in a uncluttered view. The iPhone version is OK but on CarPlay none of those features are there. so not worth it.

by Magicbinarycode

It’s nice to finally have a weather radar app on CarPlay, but $70/year is pretty steep. CarPlayWeatherNavigation is just a basic radar which you’ll find in most free weather radar apps. RadarScope is only $10/year and provides MUCH better radar resolution and lots of different radar scans - granted, it is phone only.

by Tmr77$

Absolutely nothing works on CarPlayWeatherNavigation. The only way to improve it, would be to delete it off CarPlayWeatherNavigation Store so no one else has to suffer the aggravation of trying to use it. I’d give it zero stars if it let me

by Bruce To

You can use this free as long as you don’t mind a 2 hour delay. If you want live weather, you pay $70yr. How stupid is that? That’s like $10 for each time I would use CarPlayWeatherNavigation!

by CurleyBowman

Free version puts a banner across the map sayin this map’s info is 2 hours old and you need to buy pro to get up to date data, and it is expensive.

by K114434444

Like the concept of CarPlayWeatherNavigation but when I put in a destination it freezes up after 2 min. Rest it put in the destination 2 min into it freeze up.

by WhereisRich

I can’t even write a legitimate review without paying.. I love the idea but there needs to be a better way to monetize CarPlayWeatherNavigation. I won’t pay for weather that is free elsewhere.

by Matt47389

Did not like CarPlayWeatherNavigation. The navigation is terrible and almost never has a up to date radar. Tried the 7 day free trail and got charged even though I canceled the trial

by Babybuda

2 hour delay make this on the go app terrible. 2 hours couple put the weather 50 miles away. Most aviation oriented apps are delayed from 7-15 minutes. Subscription apps can be real time. Sorry just not useful. All show but worthless.

by RickW267

Would love to try this, but not giving credit card info before even getting started or to confirm it works.

Give a true free trial without trying to prey on payment before actual use.

by Jim-TPA

Radar is delayed by 2 hours. Tell us upfront so we do not waste our time. Have to pay money if you want current but you cannot even tell if it works well since it starts you with delayed.

Waste of time.

by Jingles5995

I was excited to have up to date weather information in my vehicle. I paid for the Pro so no delay in the information. But I’m still getting a 2 hour delay and they kept my money!!!!

by Ramblin Man34

Tried to use this on a recent trip from the Midwest to the east coast. Many times CarPlayWeatherNavigation timed out, couldn’t locate destination and the few times we did get it to work, it would reset when we stopped for gas. CarPlayWeatherNavigation needs a LOT of work to be on the level of other navigation apps. Deleted and unsubscribed.

by Real Appraiser

I’m sure the weather is fine on this and we use it when we travel with our RV, but the developers need to stop putting the notifications whether we like it or not. I don’t need to have the stupid weather app pushing me to look at it with the push notification every single time I turn on my iPhone. It’s extraordinarily annoying and I want to stop using CarPlayWeatherNavigation just because of this issue alone. I installed CarPlayWeatherNavigation , I paid for it and I know that it’s there. I don’t need you to remind me every single time I turn on my phone.

by Oceanangel65

I do not like the navigation of it and it will tell you what road to turn on, but it will not tell you to turn when you’re getting close to it like your other companies do ..you pass the road and It will tell you to drive ..when you’re driving and you don’t need to be looking down at the screen all the time to see where you’re supposed to turn at so now I do not like it and I’m gonna cancel it. Thanks for trying.

by Zracer01

So, unless you pay for the “PRO” version you get 2 hr delayed radar? I hope I’m reading that wrong but 2 hr delayed radar is useless.

by Sciroccodriver

$70/ year. Not happening.

by Fjfjfjfjfkfkfnfb

Delayed 2 hours makes it useless. Very expensive and useless app.

by Chuckybsimons

This is a lousy app. It has a two hour delay if you want it for free totally worthless.

by 625284925184949163749392

Trial version sucked so I upgraded to the Pro version, it still sucked. Cancelled my subscription.

by Cbh62374

App doesn’t have anywhere near the functionality as the advertisement indicates. Waste of money at this point.

by @jzjakez

You want to charge $100 subscriptions but can’t even spell words properly in your app? Okay.

by KCvG1

Won't allow you to even try it without paying. In the "Free" version the radar is delayed 2 hours. Lol. What a joke.

by Reents

Only shows you the radar with a 2 hour delay unless you pay

by J Michael Henry

Can’t try CarPlayWeatherNavigation out without the 2 hour delay unless you sign up with a credit card? No thanks.

by Jamblair

Would love for this to work but the navigation function is lacking. It does not show the routes on the map, just displays where to turn next.

by Paesan

They Need to partner with google maps to know where the most basic POIs are.

by Solidsnake85

App itself works fine. However it’s missing a lot of detail information like road or city names would be helpful.

If you plan to use it without paying, it’s pretty much useless, huge banner on the bottom of the screen to buy pro version. And yes radar is not real time which is understandable but finding I’m only able to use 60% of screen makes it useless and distraction

by Todd_R

As the only radar available for CarPlay at the moment I went ahead and subscribed. However features are limited, no loops, no watch boxes. I planned to use this for CarPlay and rely on my regular apps for better weather information.

However, just 3 weeks in and I’m already noticing inaccurate radar. Tonight I was driving from west to east with a strong storm line moving west to east behind me. Just as the storm started to hit me, CarPlayWeatherNavigation was telling me the storm was 20 miles east of my current position. Meaning the storm was already past me even though it was just catching up to me. A minute later radar said it was behind me. Then a few minutes later it was 20-25 miles in front of me. But never with me as I drove through the storm. Confirmed with two different weather apps that the radar was way off on CarPlayWeatherNavigation.

by 0zzy!

Apple weather app already has a radar feature. If you have the free version of CarPlayWeatherNavigation it offers nothing more than the apple app. In fact on the apple app you can see a forecast/few hours ahead, which you can’t do on this. CarPlayWeatherNavigation has a giant advert/banner asking you to upgrade to pro, and many functions require paying. Sorry but can’t recommend.

by Hannibal87

I have a weather all that has watch and phone widgets getting weather data often that cost less than CarPlayWeatherNavigation, which gets used from time to time (not to mention a million more features). There’s no world that it should cost as much as this does.

Also, forcing music on the purchase screen is awful.

by Stormtracker6

Clearly the best radar for your car. But the price is WAY too high.

by DeesNutzagain

CarPlayWeatherNavigation has a 2hr delay unless you Pay. It’s too much money for what they give you. Not worth it at all.

by Johnny50g

I’ve been in search for an app that would include weather conditions and navigation all in one. CarPlayWeatherNavigation is promising , but has some limitations and is over priced for subscription. I loaded it up and took it for a test drive. After entering a route, I initially turned the wrong direction and CarPlayWeatherNavigation was incapable of recalculating and getting me back on destination. Next I noticed there are no options for various voices. The supplied voice is very robotic. Reminded me of very early generation nav systems. In conclusion, with a few upgrades and a realistic annual subscription fee, CarPlayWeatherNavigation can go places. As is, I’ve cancelled my subscription and will continue looking.

by NX4Y

I really wanted to like CarPlayWeatherNavigation as i’ve wished for radar on carplay for a long time. Alas, it’s way too buggy. Updates are every 10 min, too slow. If you try to zoom in, big chunks of the radar dissapear. The zoom and move map buttons don’t work at all. I canceled during my free trial and maybe someday this will be worth having.

by Aviador

App keeps crashing and takes forever to load a route. Emailed support and haven’t heard anything back.

by Bruce Mathis

Struggles to locate where you are and it does not have a loop feature to show direction of weather travel. It’s nice but not what I was expecting, especially when it struggled to find my location while driving in a populated area with good cell coverage.

by Gmk1975

Radar images are clear but it only updates on 10 minute intervals and there is no animation feature so unless you want a single image every 10 minutes this is pretty much garbage for tracking weather

by Daboyc

I got CarPlayWeatherNavigation because I kept seeing it on Facebook. It is a great idea! However upon downloading it it wants me to pay 70 bucks for the year to get live radar. Radar being delayed 2 hours isn’t helping me any when I’m traveling now.

by GASTURBO1

I remember when Pioneer head units had a proprietary free app that displayed weather info among other things. Even since then I wish for CarPlay to have something similar. CarPlayWeatherNavigation is OK but way too pricy for the casual user, in my opinion. Maybe truckers wouldn’t mind the monthly fee for the pro version, which removes the annoying yellow banner that purposely blocks about 1/5 of the screen. I’m not saying that CarPlayWeatherNavigation doesn’t work as intended, but it wouldn’t surprise me if sooner than later they’ll be more CarPlay compatible weather apps options at more reasonable prices. I’ll just wait ⏳

by Creepperklr2

I definitely like the idea of this, and I get it, developers need to make money. I also get that it would be difficult to serve ads here. So it would make sense to remove some features unless you get a pro version. That said, crippling the main feature, just isn’t it. Unless you have the pro version, the radar is delayed by two hours. If you’re using this to track or avoid storms, then that can set you back quite a bit. There has to be a better way than crippling the main feature.

by Mhtfxswedcgu

I tried CarPlayWeatherNavigation and decided to do the 7 day 1 yr plan. I have driven through two thunderstorms yesterday and the radar showed nothing. Ten minutes later, it showed rain….where I had just traveled. Just like the TV Meteorologist…. Might get it right. Might not. Never know

by Bsampson6

Great concept. Well needed for CarPlay. I’ve been waiting on this for a while. The only thing is that you can’t listen to your radio or music while using navigation. At least I’m having that problem. Can you get that fixed?

by MarkJon

For such an expensive app there are too many bugs and poor navigation directions. App crashed often. Turn by turn navigation is very poor. CarPlayWeatherNavigation needs lots of upgrading before it’s worth the price.

by Utter-Butter

I would buy this but not for $70/yr. I would pay $30.

by Frankfromtampa

First the Go Pro upgrade is persistent and never goes away even on the Car Play display side

Weather being delayed 2 Hours is ridiculous since other free apps are delayed maybe 30 seconds

No Auto Zoom

Does not Follow location

Does not show current speed or speed limits that every other app does

Extremely disappointed

by LH1060

If it showed the current temperature in the place where u are that would be great

by Rodlebod

This has been my favorite CarPlay radar app but it is very erratic. I’ve experienced crashes, missing rain, missing arrows, white grid maps, and wet roads that won’t disappear when the rain is gone. I emailed the developer with no response. Even with the flaws, I will probably still subscribe.

by Tiddlertodd

Just wish it could have live motion.

by OriginalPenguino

I wish I could search destinations by points of interest. I would also like to have updates regarding speed traps like Waze or Apple Navigation.

I do like CarPlayWeatherNavigation for my motorcycle. I had to buy a CarPlay unit for the bike so I can use it, as the navigation works in CarPlay but on as a stand alone app on the phone.

The maps are accurate, the navigation good, and the weather helps me avoid small storm cells here in Florida.

by Pat Hunt H-D Guy

After using CarPlayWeatherNavigation on a cross country motorcycle trip, it worked amazingly well! I am very pleased with CarPlayWeatherNavigation and have already recommended it to other riders.

CarPlayWeatherNavigation is great but seems to not open to the current location without opening CarPlayWeatherNavigation on the phone, which defeats the purpose. I can do that on any radar app. Still playing with it. ** After changing the location services to always on, it seems to work as I hoped it would.

by Larry_Rymal

My current car did not have a navigation and weather radar——until now. I really am pleased. Thank you for such a wonderful product.

by Oceanmonster

Finally we have app with live radar on Carplay screen.

by PolandPlayz1 🇵🇱

It's kinda good!

by Valdito

Navigation lags at times and doesn’t give good options. Banner direction is too big, covers quarter of the map.

by Tom 1974

Simply The Best

by Mb Radar App

Fantastic directions and live weather radar
