Latest reviews of 13Now Severe Weather app for iPhone and iPad
When it works it is Great. Local so very accurate and good set up for the ap. BUT, it seems there is always an error - the hourly and 7 day are blank and only the radar works. So, disappointing
I watch it on tv so I downloaded app
So just today the app said it is supposed to be sunny with few clouds at 8:00am until like 9:00pm and right now is 7:59 and the sky is dark and gray full of clouds and you cant see ANY sun! Its just not a very good app even when its pretty obvious thats its not sunny and cloudy it STORMING outside!
