Not worth paying for

Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2023

Maps do not load correctly. Cannot see through radar. Cannot zoom past a certain point. Choppy animation. Not worth actual money

Not as good as I hoped

It wasn't as informative as I hoped and I deleted it.

Worthwhile app on my Kindle

Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2017

I can't say that "I love it," but it deserves 5 stars. After all, it's free and, here in Ohio, gives an accurate, real-time picture of the weather. It's beginning to rain as I am writing this. A glance at Alpha Radar, and I know that this is a spotty shower that will soon pass with clear weather to follow. That is all that I expect of this app, and it delivers.

Seriously.... they actually charge money for this piece of crap that does not work. I would not have installed this app even if it was free! Yes, it's that bad. Displays the same map regardless of which one you select. Also incredibly slow, and no indications signs that it is processing or doing anything. Why does Amazon allow their customers to get ripped-off by these dishonest, lying, cheating app vendors?!!?? I will never again purchase another app from Amazon!

Meh, not that great

Sadly I discovered a much better FREE weather radar app after I purchased this one. If you want a good free weather radar app get "My Radar". It's better AND it's free.

Great, simple

Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2017

Great, simple, quick weather app. Allows you to look at radar, satellite or precipitation. Worth the $2, especially when compared to the free radar apps

Disappointed

Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2022

I thought the graphics on this would be better. Nope. I is a vague surface map with small spots of weather. No real details about the weather. Like I said, disappointed.
