NOAA Radar & Weather Forecast

I tried this app at the recommendation of another sailor friend. This app lasted all but about 60 seconds on my phone after opening it. If you actually take the time to look at the written reviews, they are all one star. Company must be farming for paid 5 stars out of some app review shop in East Asia. You’ll be shocked to find an actual written review with something more than two stars. Immediate upsell to premium at $9.99… a WEEK!! That’s nearly $520 a year. And if you switch apps for a minute, it recognizes you’ve abandoned their upsell and offers you a promotion of 50% off at $6.99. Last time I checked 50% off of $9.99 did not equal $6.99. Regardless even if you did get it at seven dollars a week, that’s still $365 a year!!! This app must pray on people who take the three day trial and then forget about it. The didn’t even stand my phone long enough to find out if any of the features were useful. Pay an annual fee to the weather channel for premium weather on their app and I think it’s $40 for the year!

I started using your NOAA service, When I was about 18 years old, predominantly on a ham radio sent, and a portable Noah set. I got a job with the forest service doing in-depth forestry being our national forest, doing reforestation stage, three and four forestry. And it was serious heavy work. I had my own portable unit, and depended upon it heavily. That was 24 maybe 25 years of being in the woods doing different things. Then I went and worked public work. And I was “always”monitoring! I haven’t actually trusted anyone else, but your service, except there was a meteorologist, in North Carolina, on channel 9 news. His name is Mark watkins. This is a gentleman who is an actual meteorologist. He studied the charts and studied the barometers temperatures windshear altitudes of varying degrees is. Cold and hot. He then, put together a forecast. This guy was dead accurate. You didn’t trust anybody’ if *Mark Watkins*did Not( forecast it ),, it was `NOT’ valid! That was back when meteorologists were actually BONA FIDE and seasoned! Mark retired, and oh my God, these so-called meteorologists whom tried to fill his shoes,,, had a lot of growing up to do and get back on the equipment that is actual meteorology and learn something. So NOAA radar, and WEATHER / atmosphere readings have actually saved a lot of people, including myself several times. Because I was out in the weather in the. Real time doing my job. Highest praise for all who quantify the machines readings, and also go, “pro-old school”,, and have learned through actively engaging, and then letting us know what to do,,, when? And where? Thank you so much. Sincerely, Steph.
