Y70%
by Y####:

Everything by Global sucks especially their tabloid headlines. this app is no exception because it's being promoted in their weather reports, you know it's bad. Map is inferior in many ways. I'll continue to use US based apps.

K70%
by K####:

Best app I've used since it came out. All the other apps disappoint me in one way or another.

W70%
by W####:

Been using this for my weather since the app was created. Love the app when traveling the US and other parts of Canada. It always gives me the most accurate weather forecast. Never going to a anything else.

Y70%
by Y####:

Ok, but cannot pinpoint my location accurately. Radar maps are very good

S70%
by S####:

For me... best app for weather....Simple and easy to navigate.... Good design.

U70%

One of the best weather apps out there. It gives you notifications on the current weather and weather alerts. App is pretty simple to use.

lame

C70%
by C####:

Crap. The most INACCURATE reporting. I think someone just sits in a cubicle and writes whatever they feel like writing. Current weather report says it's going to rain all day, and I'm looking out the window at the piles of snow falling and accumulating on the ground. Global should be ashamed of themselves for putting this garbage out there. Uninstalling.

Y70%
by Y####:

1)Map feature doesn't work - won't show an actual map to pinpoint to. 2)Will add location name, but it won't be the actual location, despite I chose from their drop-down. 3)Will not let me de-select Alert Location. 4)Uninstalled app to try to get it to work properly. Installed "new" app, but all my locations were still listed. So the buggy issues still there. Will now uninstall and not reinstall. Too bad, as I watch Global and thought this would be perfect GlobalToGo solution. Very disappointed.

P70%
by P####:

This app needs a lot of work. the maps keep sending me to other countrys. The daily and hourly will not come up and pinpoint where i am everytime i open the app.what a joke

A70%
by A####:

Tried other radar apps, and came back to this one.This one is simple and clean, and the best radar app map. Gives me an easy to understand map of all weather. No blinking adds.

I70%
by I####:

I have been using this app for years now. But something has happened to the radar. Used to able to pinpoint stuff. Now it can be snowing and nothing on your radar map but check environment Canada radar and it's thier. Bring the radar back to par and ill give 5 stars

J70%
by J####:

This app is never ever correct....what a waste, changing now to another one that can tell what the weather truly is...this is never accurate, says rain to start at 230pm hasn't stopped since 7am????

U70%
by U####:

It seems to be a good app, works as intended. Love the radar, and the temp at the top of my notification bar. Can't wait to see how the alerts work, until then I rate it 4 stars.

Y70%
by Y####:

Not sure what's going on. But the daily forecast has gone from 7-10 day forecast to five days, now it only shows that days and the next day forecast only.

R70%
by R####:

Just need the update for the new year. I like the radar and the weather temp is quite accurate.

Y70%
by Y####:

Absolutely terrible. It is so inaccurate. Do not install unless you want to know incorrect weather.

Y70%
by Y####:

Weather forecast stops at the end of the year. Won't forecast for the following year. Useless app in late December

X70%
by X####:

No reason whatsoever that a weather app needs a battery sucking GPS turned on. Just display the weather forecast from a list of choices.

P70%
by P####:

Predictions are bang on has very few bugs
