Leave a Review Storm Team 8
Good weather app
Overall the app is very nice and easy to use. The radar is in high definition and looks amazing! You can’t find a better radar out there that is free like this one is. The ONLY thing I would like to see change is in the watches and warnings overlay. I wish you could toggle on and off which watches and warnings you would like to see on the radar at a time. When all of the watches and warnings are displayed from the national weather service at once, it’s way to busy and makes the radar hard to see and honestly takes away from the overall product quality.Show lessPSD300
Disappointing app
When I open the app the screen is blank unless I open the menu and select HOME. Then the forecast comes up, but the hourly forecast won’t open. Unless I enter specific locations I can’t get a forecast for there, even if I’m THERE, so choosing CURRENT LOCATION doesn’t work, even when I have it set to “always on” in locations. I sure hope no one depends on this app for life threatening situations because it sure doesn’t function well enough to rely on. I ultimately deleted it and I’m sad because I rely on Storm Team 8 on TV. Sure hope they can fix the functionality issues.Show lessdisgustedindenver
Not sure what others’ issues are
After seeing the reviews and frequenting WOOD’s desktop website (an absolute mess of ads to sort through before you can even get to any useful content), I had low hopes for the app.
I’ve never used the previous app so I have no comparison. I currently use MyRadar and the on board Apple Weather app.
This app seems fine? There’s a small banner ad at the bottom and all the content I want is easily accessible. My only qualm is that even though we’re currently in a sever thunderstorm warning, my alerts tab was empty. However, I JUST installed the app, so it may be that there just wasn’t enough time for it to load in.
Give it a shot. Others may just be nostalgic for another UI or debilitatingly lacking in tech savvy.Show lessAelvery
Is an app for making money out to provide a valued service? This version proves you can not do both!
This version of the app is “not user friendly” I use to love this app, now I find it hard to navigate and the ads are i frustrating. When you finally get to the area you need for a quick and fast look because maybe you are working, this ad pops in and the close out x is so small that you end up opening the ad. Iam not joking but I nearly have thrown this phone through the wall a dozen times due to this very app. Let me give a significant suggestion to making your audience happy. Most users are not going to your site with the intention of staying on it and watching videos or reading stories or blogs, although an option for these is nice if you want further detail rather they are looking for the quick glance at the current weather conditions and then transition quickly to glance at the weather radar. Make these un-inhindered to slow the user to pop open the app (the earlier version would start with this page if you remember) and make the radar the next easy click to navigate. Try to keep the ads from full pop ups, if you have to have them put them in the periphery. Also ask yourself this question do e we provide this app to me money or provide a service to our viewers. Because thus current version and the last few years have proven you can’t have both!Show lessUC it U will want it
Used to love it…for years
This was my go-to app for years. I even put up with the redesign (which I didn’t like) and figured out how to live with the ads. However, when it started freezing when I tried to open it, that’s when I began to give it up. I thought maybe they’d have an update on here, but looks like the app is ignored or super low priority.
Tried their news app that includes weather, but it’s super hard to find what the current temp is (it’s on the news side and not in the weather tab). I also didn’t realize we were under an advisory or warning from that app, so giving up on both their apps now after years of loyalty (and I don’t even get local TV so didn’t choose them for that). Now abandoning them for their “couldn’t care less” attitude.Show lessKate R P
Bring back the old version
Unfortunately switching to another weather app. This new version isn’t great. The radar hard to use and read. The old version was the best thing around and wish you’d bring it back. Gave it a chance.Mikey Limes It
Changed for the worse
The previous version was organized, easy to use, attractive, and exceedingly functional. The new version is messy, cumbersome, doesn’t seem suited to a mobile phone format, appears amateurish, and is punishing to actually use. Try again WOODTV 8 in order to align your high professionalism with this app; it doesn’t reflect your stellar reputation.Show lessSunnyCircus
Video Weather Forecast Keeps Freezing!
I used to use this app everyday to view the latest video weather forecast and view other info, but since the very unfortunate app “upgrade” recently, the video forecast freezes about 10 seconds in and when I close and restart the forecast, it comes back with no sound, then freezes again and suddenly reverts to an earlier forecast. I’m taking this app off my phone because it’s useless!Show lessDave from GR Michigan
Another disappointed user
Was my go-to weather app for years until the June 2021 update made it so cluttered. Tried to live with it for a couple months hoping I would get used to it but now switching to Fox 17…their format is very similar to the Storm Team 8 app’s previous format.sycats
Best weather team!
Storm team 8 is the only weather team I’ve watched since Bill Steffens visited my elementary school in the 80’s…. He made weather interesting! Matt and Ellen and the whole team have been great through the years!!!
This app is very reliable as well & I'm thankful I don’t have to use the news app to get my weather now.Show lessAnnesally
