Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Weather: Live radar & widgets app free?
high

The app is listed as free to download with in-app purchases ranging from $5.99 to $9.99 per item. However, user reviews from 2024-2025 overwhelmingly indicate that the free version has aggressive, long, and difficult-to-close advertisements that make the app nearly unusable.

Source: app_metadata, user_reviews

Does this weather app have ads?
high

Yes, the app description states it is free and does not explicitly mention ads, but 4 out of 5 sampled recent reviews (from May 2024 to January 2025) describe the ads as 'intrusive,' 'harassment-level,' lasting 1-2 minutes, hijacking audio, and being difficult to close. The only apparent way to avoid them is to purchase the premium version.

Source: user_reviews

Is this weather app accurate?
low

One user review from November 2021 describes the app as providing 'up to the minute weather' with good hour-by-hour forecasts. However, this is a single old review and may not reflect the current app version, especially given the overwhelming recent complaints about ads making the app unusable.

Source: user_reviews

What is the rating of Weather: Live radar & widgets?
high

The app has an overall rating of 4.7 stars based on 394,000 reviews on the US Google Play Store. Note that this is a cumulative rating and does not reflect the recent user complaints about ads, which are all 1-star reviews.

How to Use

Weather: Live radar & widgets provides accurate, real-time weather forecasts with hourly, daily, and 45-day outlooks, plus radar maps and widgets, available as a free app with optional premium in-app purchases. (app_description)

Getting Started

Source: app_description_and_user_feedback_noted

  1. Step 1: Download and open the app. Be prepared for potentially intrusive ads in the free version, as reported by recent users.
  2. Step 2: Grant location permissions to get automatic local weather updates, or manually search for a city using the management feature.
  3. Step 3: Navigate the interface to view real-time conditions, hourly forecasts, 45-day outlook, and radar maps. If ads interrupt, you may need to exit and reopen the app to continue.
  4. Step 4: Customize your home screen by adding one of the available weather widgets, or enable the notification bar for quick weather checks.

Key Features (from app listing)

Source: app_description

  • Real-time weather conditions updated every minute
  • Hourly, daily, and 45-day weather forecasts
  • Local and global weather radar maps
  • Customizable weather widgets and notification bar styles
Pro Tip: If you find the ads in the free version unbearable, look for the in-app upgrade option (priced $5.99-$9.99 per item) to potentially remove ads and use the app as intended, though recent reviews note that finding the upgrade screen can be difficult.

Based on user complaints about ads in the free version (recent_reviews #1-#4) and the app metadata listing in-app purchases. One reviewer specifically mentions difficulty 'stumbling upon the upgrade screen.'

Dont waste your time. Ads are very intrusive. They last 1-2 minutes. Highjack whatever you're listening to, most without a way to turn off their sound. Even when the ad is over, finding a back to where you want to be is difficult. The only way out is exiting the app and opening again. They are trying to force you 'remove ads' by going pro. Pro for a weather app! Find another.

Free version is WORTHLESS, the ads are impossible to deal with by having to go in and out of the same ad multiple times without ever being shown an "X" or by other means of escaping the ad-loop. This is too bad because the paid version, if you are able to ever stumble upon the upgrade screen, is terrific. Forcing users to purchase the prem version without even being able to test the free version seems...desperate at best. Too many excellent weather apps to hassle with this one. A real shame.

The advertisements are at a level of harassment. I cannot even use the app anymore because each time I open it I have to watch long ads, which even when they "end," the only button to click on sends me to purchase whatever is being advertised. I literally can't use the app. Before this became an issue and I was able to see the app, the graphics and features were great. The ads make it unbearable unfortunately.

Unless you want to pay for the "premium" version, don't bother with this app. I'm assuming the main advantage of paying (I refuse to do so) is to eliminate the excessive and annoying advertisements. You know, the kind that make you press three different buttons to finally exit out of whatever it is they're selling. You'd think hitting the first "X" would be an indication you're not interested - but nope! Then you'll see another screen, waiting for the X to appear and then again a third time...

I think this is one of the best weather apps there is. It gives you up to the minute weather. As I drive for a ride-share company I tend to rely on an accurate and thorough weather app. I don't like to drive much in foul weather. I like that you can see the weather hour-by-hour for a few days ahead for planning my weekly schedule. The widget is cool. If there were any improvements, I would love to see more creative artwork selections with the widgets. It's a great app!
