Disappointing experience after the newer version

( This review is for the iPad version of the app) I have been using RainViewer for years now, I was once a subscriber during its old new to the stage era, but lately, with the new versions of this app, my experience has been disappointing, to say the least. While the app provided me with a fast and easy user experience, it has since become glitchy and unresponsive.One of the main issues I've encountered is that the app often freezes and takes a long time to load. This can be frustrating when I need to quickly check the radar. Additionally, the app sometimes restarts every preset or setting that I saved before.Another problem I've noticed is that changing layers doesn't work very smoothly, it takes ages to load satellite images on 1 Gb of internet speed. Furthermore, the app's user interface is not very intuitive and looks bad. Especially, the city's hourly & daily weather information page.Overall, While it may have been useful in the past, the glitches and problems I've experienced make it too unreliable to rely on for accurate weather information. I hope everything gets addressed and fixed soon, to bring this app back to its former glory.

Disappointed with the 2.9 upgrade

I absolutely loved the app for quite some time (5 stars all the way), it was by far the best radar app on the market specifically because of the Worldwide coverage, HOWEVER, after I upgraded the app to 2.0 version for some reason the quality of the radar animations is WAY WORSE than in the previous version. It’s not nearly as smooth as it was before - lots of squares as if watching an old Atari game - it hurts my eyes. Why is it?? I was so disappointed that I spent last hour researching how to downgrade the app (no luck unfortunately). Hopefully it will get improved soon...

The app crashes after the 2.13.2 update.

Great app; it does so much more with local weather and forecast radar—good developer's response to my problem log-in problem.

Disappointed

I am in emergency management and need an accurate and trusted weather app on my phone. Unfortunately, this is not it. Even after paying for the premium service, it fell short. The interface is nice and simple to navigate. The radar accurately shows where the precipitation is at, but at the wrong intensity and that is why this app doesn’t work for me. The important part is the data and this is where this app fails. It is important to be able to see the intensity to properly plan for what’s coming, but this app is always showing intensity colors of yellow and red when in actuality it is a light rain. I even changed the minimum level from all to light rain, and I saw no difference. I e played with other settings and still no change. I really wanted to like this app, but I can’t. It is not a good app if you are trying to coordinate severe weather response.

What happened??

My phone recently upgraded to the newest version and it’s awful! This used to be my go-to app that i had previously given 5 stars and shared with everyone for all weather but after the update we’ve rendered it useless. The timing is off by an hour or more. It never fully loads so i can see the weather from 2 hours ago but not at present. And it’s choppy. The smooth animation is gone on what I CAN see. I’ve deleted it and reinstalled to no avail. My husband, kids, and friends are having the same issue with theirs. So sadly we’ve all had to switch. Please bring back the old!

Fatal flaw

This app has one fatal flaw that kept me from keeping a subscription: every time I opened the app, I had to tell it that I wanted the forecast for my current location. Why isn’t this the default? It seems to be the default on every single other weather app I’ve tried. This is annoying, and there doesn’t seem to be any setting to change it. Also, a giant “NO” on my Apple watch face isn’t something I want to see. Why not just a 0% if there’s no chance of rain? I look forward to the developers response, since he seems to have responded to every other review. Maybe some of that time could be used to make your current location the default, or at least include a setting for it.

Always right

I love watching radar and seeing how it matches to the actual rain at my house. I have found this ad to be correct 99% of the time the hardest problem is light versus heavy rain However I found it to be correct most of the time the alerts also help me to know when the rain is coming but I need to do outside before it gets here standing application

Needs Work

Seems like a reasonable idea, but the app is not useful as correctly configured.By way of example, a few moments ago I was informed that it would begin raining in about 20 minutes. It’s been actively raining for an hour, and there has been a storm with some level of precipitation for 24 hours . Clicking over to the app the radar shows that we are squarely in a heavy rain zone. But the app wants to be sure I know that it really won’t start raining until 20 minutes from now — that was standing it’s on radar map, and the wet stuff falling on my head. Oops. Couple that with the fact that the app is just overburdened with pop-up ads and begs to install other apps, and it’s not worth the trouble.

Very disappointed with the surprise 2.0 upgrade

I wasn’t aware there were major changes from version 1 to 2. I purchased version 1 because I could save animations to gif and various video formats. Version 2 no longer appears to have these features and the new radar map is like looking through a kaleidoscope which is basically useless to me. I reached out to support but they have not responded. I wish they would put version 1 back out on the App Store as version 2 seems like it should still be in development.Thank you for responding!Aug 10, 2020Severe weather this evening and all weather stations nationwide are offline. Not reliable! Can’t believe I paid for this.Aug 11, 2020Appears to have been resolved quickly.Sept 8,2020Weather rolling in and not getting radar updates in a timely manner. I can get the same service through other apps for free. This will be my last review update. Thanks for the ride with a horrible ending. Don’t waste your money.

(Not working at all in lPhone6)- FIXED

I said app was not working at all in iPhone 6. But just now this has been FIXED right after an update. So I understand it was my fault (although I think it should keep working until such update). Thanks support for the patience.
