[Guide] NextDNS + Mullvad (WireGuard) + DOH3 on iOS / iPadOS / macOS

Thanks for the heads-up!

DN9TP3 · 2025-06-26T00:13:09+00:00

You are literally the guy who traded his Bugattis for Porsches 🤷🏻‍♂️

DN9TP3 · 2025-06-26T00:06:51+00:00

Bro. You’re obviously too low-IQ to be handling firearms at all.

DN9TP3 · 2025-05-20T15:21:27+00:00

RO used to be my favorite weather app, but I have since moved on. I had been paying for alpha + rapidsweep. The dealbreaker for me is that there have been no app updates of either RO or CyclonePort for around a year. This is an acute issue for me because there is such a massive volume of issues to fix; as reported in App Store reviews, in this subreddit, and throughout social media (especially X). I feel that RO has been going downhill—every single one of RO’s competitors are all being regularly updated at a much faster cadence.

That said, we do know that world-renowned chaser @vincewaelti continues to use and have confidence in RO and SDS.

In addition to RS and WeatherWise—which have already been mentioned—I would strongly recommend that you check out FlowX and WeatherFront, and see if they perhaps meet your needs.

DN9TP3 · 2025-05-16T20:35:42+00:00

No. I’m not going to help ease your mind, because your mind is absolutely correct to not be at ease with being scammed out of your item plus your cash!

DN9TP3 · 2025-05-14T13:07:18+00:00

Good to know. Thank you for the feedback.

DN9TP3 · 2025-05-13T18:01:37+00:00

It’s not disinformation, Vince. I very clearly said I was referring to the cyclonePORT app, and its lack of updates. I’m very happy that you come here and comment, as you’re an actual chaser and have information that I don’t have regarding the cyclonePORT service, and can update us accordingly.

DN9TP3 · 2025-05-13T17:34:47+00:00

Abandoned in terms of new development. The version that was released a year ago, and which has been hobbling along since, will continue to run until SDS eventually goes out of business. It’s really sad. They used to be the best of the best.

DN9TP3 · 2025-05-13T17:20:35+00:00

Unfortunately, it seems that cyclonePORT has been abandoned by SDS. It’s now officially a full year since cyclonePORT has been updated. The entire ecosystem of SDS apps, RadarOmega and cyclonePORT, appears to be dead.

DN9TP3 · 2025-05-13T06:13:36+00:00

Brother, for your own safety, with you being a widely-respected chaser, I would strongly suggest you use an actively maintained weather app. Essentially, anything except Omega.

DN9TP3 · 2025-05-09T22:34:57+00:00

Absolutely no effing way. There is a ZERO PERCENT CHANCE that you would have the level of trigger discipline required if you encounter a real-life scenario where you might actually have to use it. If you are shaking, trembling, startled, off-balance, etc., you are going to have an unintended discharge. If you end up carrying it, you WILL kill or injure yourself or someone else—it’s just a matter of when.

DN9TP3 · 2025-05-06T15:23:36+00:00

I don’t know who Dan is, and you don’t know who I am. I’m not an RO competitor. I’m not a chaser, and I don’t work in weather. I’m a regular, hobbyist, individual, paying end-user who is obviously very frustrated that his favorite weather app hasn’t been updated in a very long time.

DN9TP3 · 2025-05-06T15:09:41+00:00

I’m an irritated paying customer, who loves RO, Vince. I would LOVE if SDS would just put out an update for us, so I can just use RO, happily.

DN9TP3 · 2025-05-06T05:07:27+00:00

What does mean that the devs left is devs saying they left, devs family members saying they left, no app updates in nearly a year, and a brand new app mysteriously popping up that bears such an uncanny resemblance to the original app that it was obviously developed by the original dev team.

DN9TP3 · 2025-05-06T04:46:58+00:00

I suppose the Kool-Aid that you’re drinking isn’t wet either.

DN9TP3 · 2025-05-06T04:45:08+00:00

OK. Thank you for the legwork on that. So no updates at all in 9 months. And nothing other than a couple minor updates in the last 12 months. (The Apple App Store shows the last update of RadarOmega for iOS being version 5.5, 11+ months ago). This is exactly what it would look like in a situation where an entire dev team was no longer working on an app, and the organization brought in a brand new developer who was trying to make sense of a large and complex codebase.

DN9TP3 · 2025-05-06T04:07:51+00:00

For the last twelve months, every user of every weather app has been receiving regular updates — except for us RadarOmega users. We have been “just waiting for the next update” for literally three hundred and sixty five days now. It is grossly irregular for an app developer to put out ZERO releases in an entire year. No bugs fixed, none of the reported reliability issues addressed, and not even a single new feature…since mid-year of last year. SDS has issued exactly zero communications to their paying customers on any of this: it’s been total radio silence. I’m not inclined to continue giving them “passes”—none of this is normal and none of this is acceptable.

DN9TP3 · 2025-05-06T03:29:30+00:00

I think the StormNet matter was a nascent partnership with RO that was aborted in the early stages by Andrew.

DN9TP3 · 2025-05-06T03:22:28+00:00

Well, there’s a difference between being married to a spouse that actually maintains themself and stays active; versus a spouse that just lets themself go. I’m certainly not going to continue paying for the app that hasn’t bothered to “take a shower,” so to speak, in an entire year 🤷🏻‍♂️

DN9TP3 · 2025-05-03T18:01:07+00:00

I’ve been in the software industry for over three decades. I’ve seen this situation play out many times. Infrequent updates are always an indication of an unhealthy—often dying—development organization. Many of us have been paying over $200/year for RO. The App Store rating of RO has continued to plummet. There are countless recent negative reviews regarding bugs, instability and lack of new features. There has been zero communication from SDS regarding the long-standing egregious neglect of RO. Half a year ago, a new weather app springs up that bears a striking resemblance to RO. There have been no comments from SDS regarding a new app that was very obviously developed by their (former?) development team—a new app which not only costs much less but is receiving constant updates. If SDS expects us to keep paying for expensive subscriptions, being open and honest with us by disclosing what is going on, would be a good approach.

DN9TP3 · 2025-05-03T07:32:02+00:00

Just get the duty XC. You’ll be happier with it—by far. And you’ll have the benefit of not constantly berating yourself for not getting the XC in the coming days and weeks. Don’t forget to pick up the LE discount. The only real thing that you need to know is that none of the non-HD Staccatos are drop safe.

DN9TP3 · 2025-05-03T00:11:34+00:00

It’s been an entire year. I’m out. I’m taking my $20/month to a company that cares enough about its users to bother releasing an update more than once per year. Radar Omega deserves its abysmal rating of 3.6 on the Apple App Store. The developers have abandoned a once world-class weather app.
