The app has a nice look and is very comprehensive with weather and related data, but after having compared it with other similar apps over a several months I came to the conclusion that it is overoptimistic with rain predictions in my area. For example, it says there is an 80% chance of rain tomorrow, while two other predictions say 25% and 30%. A vast difference.

The app is great, but the South African Weather Service is exceptionally bad at predicting the weather. I sit in Erasmusrand, close to their head office in a hell of a storm, and the app says there is no chance of rain. It did the same thing yesterday. This app is like a doorstop, and I don't have doors. It's like the ANC is running the show.

After paying premium rate to get the info I wanted (as stated) i could just have well relied on the weather on Samsung daily. The storm tracker is not good at all, the daily weather notification appears on topbar and if you want to read it (open it) it opens the app and NO info. Doesnt warn you of storms and hail as promised.
