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.

First go-to for weather

This is my preferred weather app, and usually is quite accurate in its hour-by-hour predictions. I like the layout of the different screens. Very readable and complete in information provided.

Love this app

This app is the first thing I look at in the mornings. It’s what’s on continuously when bad weather systems are in the area and anywhere in the country where friends and family live. And, isn’t great to see the our weather report right in the app.

Nice little app

This weather app seems pretty accurate and l quite prefer it over weather chan app bc it doesn't have intrusive & irritating ads. It has what l need, and the layout isn't bad, relatively easy on the eyes.

Great!

Important stuff is at the top…you don’t have to click on anything to see the hourly and daily. I like that wind info is included at the top. I have several weather apps and this is the only one that has a current forecast video. App has been working great—never had a problem with reliability. Love this app!

Amazing

It’s so amazing and follow me @jahmir_palmer

Battery drainer

This app runs in the background all time. It drains about 50% of your daily battery. Not worth it.

Cannot see the info

I have macular degenerationn and the print on this app is so small I have difficulty even with a magnifier. Text does not respond to tapping the screen and spreading your fingers. Not accessible at all. I am deleting it.

Unreliable is right

I have had to delete and re-install this app several times. It works fine for a couple of days and then stops. The app is great when it works, but the rating is because it’s super annoying to have to keep reinstalling.

Update: I continue to have the same problem have deleted and reinstalled this app many times now. Works for a few fays then stops working.

It worked great, until....

The fab new update broke everything. It’s just frozen on the opening screen. Deleted!

No, sorry

I don’t know why apps get updated to be more annoying when they already work okay. This is the third update in this manner and I’m done. I deleted because I do not want an ad in the MIDDLE of the 7-day forecast and I don’t care to click 3x to get a written forecast. Bye!!

Good app.

Please put the temperature and wind speed together not separate. Please add local weather video.

WJLA Storm weather 7

I love the look and ease of this app. It’s easy on the eyes. The only problem is the radar is not specific enough for the DC metro and Morthern VA region.

Needs AppleTV compatibility!

Please add AppleTV compatibility! Having automated radar refresh would also be great for storm buffs...

Don’t like the update

There’s too much crap now when you open the app. Just give me the current conditions with easy navigation to the forecast and maps.

LOOOVE this app!

I just switched from the weather channel app due to its recent unusability. This channel 7 app ROCKS! It gives JUST the info that i want, and it is EXTREMELY simple to use! I’d give it 6 stars if i could!
