### 3/5 — Slow Application

*2024-04-10, version 5.13.1002*

Thank you for a local weather application but I’m sorry, the app is too slow.  Furthermore, the app reloads each time it’s opened, even when minimizing and reopening immediately.

### 4/5 — Radar

*2023-07-13, version 5.10.500*

Love this app but since most recent update, the radar glitches. Please fix!

### 4/5 — Forecast

*2023-05-27, version 5.8.501*

It would be nice if it was possible to view a video of the latest forecast from the news broadcast as you can on the ABC13 news app.

### 5/5 — WSET13 app

*2021-05-30, version 5.3.504*

People should always have the freedom to choose yes or no for whatever you’re trying to do. I should be able to choose no for you tracking me for “advertising purposes “. Most people are tired of this and can’t wait until better, more customer friendly solutions come out. It’s wrong and it’s bad business to make people do some thing so you can track us. Can’t wait till your kind of people are no longer in charge.

### 3/5 — Stephanie

*2019-01-21, version 4.7.800*

I get the same message everyday but it just takes me to the App Store and there is nothing to update. They really need to fix it or remove that message.

### 3/5 — Will not update

*2018-11-30, version 4.7.503*

I get a message to update to the new app. Says “update now” when I touch it I go to the App Store and it says open. A complete circle with no results. Same thing hour after hour and day after day. They need to fix it or remove the message.

### 1/5 — Weather

*2026-02-22, version 6.1.401*

The weather its suck I hate weather radar  it very stupid

### 1/5 — Thunderstorm symbol

*2023-07-11, version 5.10.500*

You predictions of thunderstorms are off at least 70 % of the time. Just because there is thunder does not make it a thunderstorm.

### 1/5 — You should've left well enough alone!

*2023-05-30, version 5.8.501*

I had to turn notifications off since you are constantly bothering me to tell me that it's going to begin raining in X number of minutes. Very annoying! It wasn't broke… Why did you fix it???

### 1/5 — App not working

*2023-02-19, version 5.7.301*

Get same weather for every city!

### 2/5 — Relief from nuisance

*2023-09-11, version 5.10.500*

Advertisements keep getting in the way

### 2/5 — Notifications

*2023-07-18, version 5.10.500*

Way too many notifications. Every little thing sends a notification

### 3/5 — Forecasts Differ

*2025-11-24, version 5.17.802*

The forecast given on WHAM radio mostly differ from this site.

### 3/5 — Inconsistent app

*2025-01-24*

The temp predictions never match when you switch from hourly to daily.  For example, a high of 50 is forecast for tomorrow, but hourly forecast predicts a high of 43.  And it’s always different from the forecast on the WSET site.

### 3/5 — Radar

*2024-07-27, version 5.15.406*

Radar is not very clear and does not show the movement of clouds hour to hour for the next 8 hrs which is a very useful feature.

### 3/5 — Radar access

*2024-05-13, version 5.13.1002*

I’d like a quicker access to radar.  When rain or bad weather is forecast, I don’t need to see future forecast, I want access to the radar and it’s next 6 hours prediction.  I plan my daily activities based on radar and its timing.
