## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 3/5 — Super annoying ad app

*2022-01-16*

Not bad but the ads are terrible. You can’t see anything before being blasted by the same ad every time, which blocks initial content; super annoying. The weather is there is you hunt for it.

### 4/5 — Repetitive Notifications

*2025-07-09*

This is a great, informative app! I appreciate its urgency for weather updates. However, it sends too many of the same notification too frequently. If there’s a severe thunderstorm, my phone will receive 11 notifications in less that 1 minute with the same message.

### 5/5 — Recent issue on iPad

*2025-02-17*

I’ve enjoyed this app for several years.  A couple of months ago the radar map stopped functioning correctly: when in full screen, the start button and timeline bar disappear.  I just tried using “app support” to solve the problem, and was referred by the chat bot to a live person (supposedly), but I would have to pay $5, refundable.  The small print says there is a much larger fee, $55, I think it said monthly, to join this service.  Buyer beware!

### 5/5 — A great weather app

*2024-01-05*

### 5/5 — Great Weather Anchors

*2023-09-07*

Thanks for a great site with excellent weather reporting.

### 5/5 — Best

*2023-05-08*

WVIR is the best news and weather channel in the area.

### 5/5 — Solid weather app

*2022-05-25*

Covers all the bases without being overbearing with ads. Radar is accurate. Overall nice app, no complaints.

### 5/5 — Smooth, simple

*2021-07-15*

Easy to navigate, detailed radar, no terrible click bait.

### 5/5 — Best Weather App I can find

*2021-04-19*

Finally, a radar that lets me choose between terrain and basic and a radar that automatically refreshes! Thank you for such a great weather app!

### 5/5 — It works all the time on my iPhone 12

*2021-03-24*

It works as it should no problems on my iPhone 12
