Please get this corrected ### 5/5 — abc weather App crashing *2022-07-15, version 5.6.503* After having abc weather app for years on iphone, now is constantly crashing. Erased app 3 times to reinstall, still crashing. What‘s going on??? My fav now obsolete. ### 4/5 — ABC21 WEATHER APP WOULD NOT OPEN *2022-07-09, version 5.6.500* What is up.

Too many notifications!!!! ### 1/5 — Stopped working-Can’t get past ad *2023-06-04, version 5.8.500* I have enjoyed using this app on my iPad, but it stopped working. I no longer can get past the advertisement. I have deleted the app and reinstalled it with no effect. ### 1/5 — Crash *2022-07-11, version 5.6.500* Used to like the app. My go-to for radar. Now since the update it opens and instantly crashes. Tried deleting and re-installing, but that didn’t work. Don’t want to delete it, but if it isn’t fixed, don’t want to waste the space. ### 1/5 — This used to be a great app *2022-07-10, version 5.6.500* This used to be the best weather app to use. Now with the newest update it won’t even open. What a shame. At least Wane channel 15’s weather app still works. ### 1/5 — Bad update *2022-07-10, version 5.6.500* The most recent update as of now (July 10th, 2022 at 5:56am est) made the app completely unusable. Everytime I goto open, it crashes. I’ve restarted my phone, checked for updates and even uninstalled/reinstalled. I’ve used this app for years. The other apps simply don’t compare. ### 1/5 — Bad update *2022-07-08, version 5.6.500* With the latest update, 5.6.500, the app won’t open and just crashes when you go to open it. ### 3/5 — No widget *2026-02-13, version 6.1.302* I’m so disappointed that I don’t have a widget for my iPhone 17. Is this something that will change in the future? ### 3/5 — Review *2023-04-29, version 5.7.301* I don’t like to see a commercial before I get the weather!! If the weather is bad I don’t want to see a Dentist or anything else!!! ### 3/5 — Yep. Bad update *2022-07-14, version 5.6.500* Best weather app out there till the last update. Crashes instantly upon open now so it’s unusable. Wish they would get it sorted out ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 07/08/2026 *2026-07-08, version 6.2.512* Best news channel EVER!!! But thank you for always stay tuned! ### 5/5 — Good app *2026-02-06, version 6.1.302* Informative better than most weather app’s detailed and pretty accurate ### 5/5 — Weather App is Helpful *2026-01-30, version 6.1.302* I had to get the 21Alive Weather App because it was so very helpful to the Scarecrow. Poor Scarecrow. This is the only weather app I use. ### 5/5 — 21Weather *2024-07-15, version 5.15.404* The 21 Weather Forecast Channel is perfect. ### 5/5 — Weather *2024-06-01, version 5.13.1000* 21 Alive Weather Team is the best and most accurate weather team in Ft Wayne! ### 5/5 — Weather App *2024-05-08, version 5.13.1000* I’ve only looked at wane 15 weather but I downloaded ur app and I LOVE IT!! I love the cast on wane 15 and 21Alive news but this will be my go to weather app from here on out!! Keep up the good work and welcome back Heather Herron! ### 5/5 — Best weather app *2024-04-01, version 5.13.1000* I’ve tried every big name weather app and this is the best by far. I see the weather and videos relevent to me as soon as I open it and I don’t get spammed with notifications that I don’t care about. Design is simple and easy to navigate. The videos always load without issue. Text book example of how an app should function and be designed. ### 5/5 — Very good app for my home town *2023-06-13, version 5.10.400* This app helps me when tornadoes bad storms and wind it tells me what to expect.👌brayden eldridge ### 5/5 — Meteorologists *2022-10-25, version 5.6.503* Great staff always keeping us up to date and on Facebook Live to keep us informed throughout bad weather and also on the television no matter what is on and that is good!!!Weather is more important Thank You ### 5/5 — Very Accurate *2022-08-21, version 5.6.503* The forecast are accurate. We live on a lake and being able to check the radar before going out on the water if the weather is uncertain is helpful. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
