View policyFrequently Asked Questions
Is this weather app free? high
Yes, the app is free to download and use, but it contains ads. An in-app purchase (subscription) removes ads and offers additional features. Pricing ranges from $0.99 to $8.99 per item.

Does it work with Android Auto? high
Yes, Weather & Radar is compatible with Android Auto. Reviews indicate it works well for checking radar maps while driving, though some users wish for split-screen support and a compass feature.

Why does the app have so many ads? high
Multiple recent reviews report excessive ads, including full-screen ads, banner ads, and quarter-page ads. This is a common complaint. A paid subscription removes ads, but users find it expensive. Some users note the same data is available ad-free on the website.
Source: user_reviews
Does the app sell my location data? low
One reviewer claims the app sells user location information to third parties. The app's description mentions personalized notifications and location-based features. We recommend reviewing the app's privacy policy for full details, as this claim is based on a single user review.

Is there a lifetime purchase option? medium
According to a recent reviewer, the app does not offer a lifetime purchase option — it appears to be subscription-only. The subscription pricing is described as expensive by multiple users. Check the latest version of the app for current purchase options.

3★At first glance the content is terrific and the depth of info is more than your basic weather apps. The layout is logical and the ease of reading and navigating the app is sensible. It scores poor marks in the overload of ads as well as the selling of my information to 3rd parties about my location. It probably is in the fine print somewhere but I received a notification about their access to my info and the selling to 3rd parties is not something I consent to anymore. Uninstalled.

3★Decent. Ads not too bad. Widgets are few and not very good. Since it is subscription based it is very expensive. If it had a lifetime purchase option I would buy it. Also, the same info is on their website (without ads) so why should I pay for the app? I just spent $25 lifetime for a different weather. I would rather have bought this one....

3★I used the app with Android Auto and it's off to a good start! I was pretty much able to follow the sky conditions and the map provided was OK to drive and follow with route numbers and state lines. I couldn't use split screen...that would be nice. Also, a compass would be nice. Good start! I didn't test it fully, but look forward to finding more features.

2★Full screen ads are a bit much as there's already a quarter page ad plus a banner at the bottom. The subscription pricing is way too high to consider getting the paid version. EDIT: there are now even more ads on the main screen in addition to full page ads and the bottom banner. I get it, it's a free app & you have to generate revenue with ads, but 8€ for the no-ad "pro" version is just too high. Comes off as greedy, esp when considering the v. aggressive anti ad-blocker strategy on the website

3★Seems like a decent weather app, and the fact that it works with Android Auto is a major plus. The one issue that I have with it is the use of nonstandard colors on the radar map. They make things very confusing, especially in the spring and fall, when the possibility of snow/sleet is there. There is overlap in the colors for heavy rain and snow. Which one is it today, a severe rain storm or a severe snow storm? Can't tell because the colors are the same! PLEASE, use standard radar colors!!
