My Go To App

When it comes to local weather this is my go to app. My job relies on accurate weather predictions and forecasts and this is the best place for on the spot information
Never disappointed

Great Weather App for the DMV

So helpful for the DMV. Love the ability to set notifications for dangerous weather.

Updated weather

Your updated weather app doesn’t allow me to scroll in any direction. As soon as I scroll to see the rest of the forecast it switches to the other hourly forecast. All I want is a quick reference and not a detailed summary. Please put it back the way it was.

Best Weather

I love this app. Easy to use, and very accurate.

Channel-7 Weather App Review

Thank you ABC - 7 First Alert Weather Team for developing the best and user friendly app to accurately present the daily forecast.

I have always been an advent Channel-7 news & weather watcher since the 1990’s and years of Doug Hill as the lead meteorologist. I learned how predicting the forecast is a science and saw the team work with each forecaster was on the same path to predict excellent results after the passing of Mr. Hill.

The choice to make Veronica as Chief Meteorologist was an excellent choice. The excellent reporting with Allison Stalling, Bryant Vandergraph, other team members creates a solid foundation that has caused me to stay with Channel-7 television, radio, and the App to follow especially when I have seen at the age of 68-years old, weather pattern and events in 30-years with a lot of first happenings, it is good to know your team has always got it right.

In closing, i love how you can view team members on the app giving the weather, versus listing of information. Keep up the excellent work.
