Works on galaxy tab and epic. Asked the Dev for landscape mode, had it a few days later. Made of win.

by X####:

The HRRR model is one of the most useful weather models to Storm Chasers in the field and now you can have mobile access to it with this well thought out and feature packed Android App. Emergency Management, Public Safety Officers and anyone who is affected by the weather can use this app to 'see into the future' at what the weather is going to do 15 mins, 1 hour and up to 3 hours from now. Highly Recommended!

But won't load on Asus tablet or HTC droid. No stars

X70%

Worthless. Nothing but 404 errors. Don't waste your time.

I70%

Keep getting 403 errors. Like the design though, always hated navigating the NWS site for these.

X70%
by X####:

Great idea but doesn't work...for me anyway just says "404 object not found."

Y70%
by Y####:

I am getting a 404 error on my HTC Amaze 4G. I paid so I should have access!

X70%
by X####:

This is a great app and it does everything its advertised to with no problems at all. NOAA's rapid refresh product sucks and is almost always wrong. Keep in mind this is not the developers fault at all!

X70%
by X####:

Paid for app. and can't even download the app. Keep getting error message. Can't even get my money back. Please fix or tell me what to do. VERY FRUSTRATING!

X70%
by X####:

Would have loved to try this app, but it does not seem to have the links set up. I checked and the hrrr servers were online in the settings. Running on a nexus 7

X70%
by X####:

All you get when you open it is an error saying object not found!

This app don't work, none of the maps load!!

M70%
by M####:

Works great if you need an app to lock up your phone, then crash. No updates & doesn't work.

L70%
by L####:

Points to wrong address with no ability to change. Force closes constantly on kit Kat and Galaxy Note 3. Useless, uninstalling until the developers fix it.

M70%
by M####:

App works just fine, gonna be handy to have once we start chasing!

Y70%
by Y####:

Looks like the dev has finally fixed most of the grief with this program. Working perfectly and no more 404 errors. Good job .

M70%
by M####:

Website has changed; developer has not changed his target in the app. Was one of the best apps for a good short-term model, now worthless.

R70%
by R####:

More times than not loads a error screen instead of model data. Probably need to change the URL where data is being pulled from.

W70%
by W####:

When opening the app all you get is an empty window, as others have also mentioned, that says, "object not found, error 404." Don't waste your time downloading.

M70%
by M####:

This app is displaying a 404 error here on the nexus 7. Hope it gets fixed soon, really looking forward to using this application.

B70%
by B####:

NOAA's ESRL has changed the logic of its URL structure on its server. That is where this app gets its data. But the app didn't change to match the server changes so it no longer works.

M70%
by M####:

404 error. Cannot provide any further review due to lack of experience with this due to its lack in functionality.

Now, I keep getting 404 errors. Went to settings & checked site status & it says its online.

I70%
by I####:

Only suggestion is to add a loop option, otherwise it's a great tool!

M70%
by M####:

This app works perfect and is very easy to use. I have not had any issues with it that were part of this app. The HRRR model is down from time to time, but that is uncontrollable. Recommend this to any storm chaser out there as a must have app.
