What it is
Weather Radar - Meteored News is a weather app from Meteored, listed under Weather. It is free, rated Everyone, and has been on Google Play since April 2012. The most recent update was on 2026-10-28. The publisher describes it as its official app, using its own forecasts, alerts and live radar.
What it does well
The forecast section covers 14 days and a 6-day future radar. Selecting a day shows hourly detail, including temperature, rain, wind speed and direction, pressure, humidity, air quality, pollen levels, UV index, sunrise and sunset, and moon phase. The radar side offers animated imagery from the last few hours, satellite images, a hurricane and storm tracker and a moving world map built on the ECMWF forecast model. Alerts include official NOAA warnings for your location. Other pieces are weather news, videos, home screen widgets, and a Wear OS tile.
What the ratings show
The app scores 4.73 over 3,061,327 ratings and has 50,000,000+ installs. Five stars make up 85.7% of ratings and four stars 8.4%. One-star ratings are 2.7%, two-star 1% and three-star 2.3%. That is a consistently positive picture for a category where accuracy complaints are common.
Where it falls short
The listing says nothing about ads, subscriptions or locked features, so cost is an open question. The one alert source it names is NOAA, which suggests a strong US focus, though it also claims availability in over 110 countries and 50 languages and more than 6,000,000 locations. It does not explain how alerts work outside the US. The description is cut off in the data, so more may be missing.
Weather watchers who like maps, radar and detail will find plenty here. Casual users may find the amount of data more than they need.
Taken together, the listing describes a broad weather package with unusually deep hourly detail. The ratings back it up. The open questions are cost and regional coverage, neither of which the visible text answers, so a short trial run in your own area is the practical way to judge it.
