The menu initially opens, but then immediately closes after I lift my finger off the three dots. I am trying to remove notifications for one location and turn them on for another. (Running current version) ### 3/5 — Latest update not good *2026-01-10, version 6.1.301* The radar map did not change to the better and the 7 day forecast rarely makes an appearance. ### 2/5 — Needs color *2025-05-04, version 5.17.507* I’m an everyday loyal watcher of the abc27 news team! I was super excited when they announced this app! But when I downloaded it I immediately noticed the lack of color. All the icons are grey? I deleted it thinking it was a glitch on my phone but turns out it’s not. I’ll coming running back once they add color! Thanks! ### 2/5 — Having issues *2023-07-03, version 5.8.501* I used to be able to see live weather reports and now I can’t. The live radar glitches and disappears and reappears in flashes that won’t stop and show the radar for long. ### 2/5 — There are pop up ads. *2021-12-05, version 5.4.803* After using the app for 10 seconds there are ads that will pop up and ads that will play before video forecasts. Glad to know that this ad venue is more important than having a good app experience. It’s frustrating. ### 3/5 — Great map, bad videos *2021-02-19, version 5.1.607* I love the interactive map, it’s super useful. The video section is all outdated though. It’s only videos that are 56 months old. That is not at all helpful. ### 3/5 — Was my go to local weather app *2021-02-13, version 5.1.604* Starting about a week or so ago, the video forecasts are now ordered by oldest not by newest. As much of a blast from the past it is to watch a video forecast from July 2017, it is unfortunately not helpful for planning my day. It should be noted that all other functionality is fine. ### 1/5 — I’m not in Ecuador! *2020-07-19, version 5.0.601* When I open the app it changes from my home town to some place in Ecuador and says it’s not available there. This was my favorite weather app but it’s not usable now! Please fix! ### 2/5 — Don’t bother *2020-05-28, version 5.0.400* So disappointing to have such an inaccurate weather app. Forecast of even 1-2 hours out is totally wrong. What a waste of time. ### 1/5 — Not working *2020-01-17, version 4.10.2402* Will load once on iPhone 11 and then it freezes the next time you try to open the app. The only way to get it to work is turning off the phone and turning it back on again. Who wants to do that? ### 1/5 — Needs fixed *2020-01-16, version 4.10.2101* Since the last update I can’t even get the app to open. This used to be my go to for weather I guess I’ll have to use cbs21. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t even work *2020-01-03, version 4.10.2100* I used to rely on this app as my go to now when I tap on the icon I get a page with weather guys on it and that’s as far as I get will most likely get rid of this app until the developers make some changes ### 1/5 — If I cannot get updates, *2019-08-24, version 4.10.601* What use is there for the app? I cannot get video or written updates. Launching the app for hourly and daily forecasts is of minimal use. ### 2/5 — Deleting *2019-08-21, version 4.10.600* When it works its ok but most of the time the radar doesn’t function. ### 1/5 — All downhill from here *2019-07-31, version 4.10.501* All current reviews are correct, it used to be a good thing,I no longer view it,the videos are gone and current changes aren’t for the benefit of the viewer,but are a nuisance. ### 2/5 — What Happened *2019-07-28, version 4.10.501* The newest update is awful. You can’t watch the weather forecast videos, the radar isn’t working properly, and it takes forever for things to load even when I’m using high speed WiFi. Please fix this soon. This used to be one of my most used apps and now is basically useless. ### 2/5 — Don’t know what happened to the app.... *2019-07-22, version 4.10.400* But it’s not good. This used to be my go to weather app but not anymore. I can’t play the videos anymore. I reported this as a problem and got the standard we got your message blah blah blah. Still not resolved. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Unable to delete a location. *2026-05-07, version 6.1.706* Please fix the bug that prevents you from being able to delete a location from your list. If you click on the 3 dots next to a location to select delete, the window goes away before you can edit or delete the location. ### 1/5 — The new update is terrible *2026-02-15, version 6.1.301* The map no longer focuses on my area. It hard to find my area now. I’ll have find a different app to get accurate weather in my area. ### 1/5 — Contact the station *2024-11-12* There was nowhere on your app to contact anyone to tell them what’s going on. Please give us a contact information thank you. ### 1/5 — Loaded with ads *2022-09-28, version 5.6.500* Uninstalled it. It’s loaded with ads. No thanks ### 1/5 — Video forecasts are over a week old again *2021-09-14, version 5.3.801* Why are the current video forecasts no longer being uploaded? ### 1/5 — Fix the videos! *2021-02-14, version 5.1.604* Videos for weather forecast are from years ago! Been like this for at least a week. Hello??? Does no one man the app? ### 1/5 — Go back to old version *2021-02-13, version 5.1.604* Please go back to the old version of this app for ABC 27 weather. You used to be able to watch the videos during the day and you could no longer do that. I used to use this app to help make the decision whether we were canceling school, letting out early, etc. I do not have confidence to use this app anymore with the new updated versions February 13 2021. The weather videos from the news forecast that are on our from the summer. Please go back to the old version I am an assistant superintendent of the school district and I used to use this app all the time to determine if we needed to close school or have a delay ### 1/5 — Not impressed *2021-02-13, version 5.1.604* Can’t watch the video forecasts anymore. Make this app unless to me. ### 1/5 — Forecasts from 56 months ago?!! *2021-02-11, version 5.1.604* What’s up with the video forecasts from 56 months ago? Is someone in IT not aware of this problem? The app is typical very useful, but this has been going on for about a week now. ### 1/5 — We LOVED this app until a week ago *2021-02-07, version 5.1.604* This app was our favorite weather app because of the great updated daily weather videos. A week or 2 ago the videos went wacky, only showing weather videos from 56 months ago! I thought it was some kind of early April Fools joke but it’s stuck on ONLY super outdated forecasts in the video section. Fix that & we give this app 4 or 5 stars! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Central PA Weather *2022-01-16, version 5.4.940* Even with my iPhone 6S with spotty high speed internet access this app worked perfectly. Sure the video forecast took maybe five seconds to load. Just be patient people. I have watched and trusted ABC27 weather all my life and it’s nice to have radar updates from them at all times. ### 5/5 — Try it now Nov 2019 *2019-11-18, version 4.10.1603* Nicely Done! You might want to change your rating higher. ### 5/5 — Very good! *2015-06-28, version 3.7.502* This is a great weather app! I especially like how it shows where lightning strikes. ### 5/5 — Great app. Has all the weather info I need. *2015-01-31, version 3.4.203* This app has weather videos so you can watch the whole forecast. App has daily, weekly, hourly forecasts. Nice radar. Perfect! (If you are looking for abc27 WHTM's Weather app, this is it. The app named 'abc27 Weather HD for iPad' does not work for me. It has no videos, does not seem to be for WHTM specifically.) ### 5/5 — C'mon, fix the hours display! *2013-03-28, version 2.5.1* Some of us still have older iPhones without the enhanced display, for which I guess the hours display was programmed. It is marginally readable but needs to be fixed. Otherwise, a nice, informative app! Jan 31, 2013 Just updated app. Hours display on Hourly Forecast still unreadable on my 3GS! March 27, 2013. You fixed the hours display!!! Thanks. ### 5/5 — Very nice !!!! ;) *2013-01-31, version 2.4* Like it better than my other weather apps ! Does a nice job ! Keep up the good work. U guys rock ! ### 5/5 — Great app, one flaw *2012-10-20, version 2.3.1* This is a great app, the only flaw I see is on the hourly section of the iPhone app, the hours are greyed out and very unreadable. Fix this and you have a perfect app!! ### 5/5 — Like it better than the weather channel! *2012-10-18, version 2.3.1* App is better then the weather channel. Thanks for finally coming out with one. Great work, keep it up. ### 5/5 — Momma2 *2012-10-16, version 2.3.1* This is a great app and so beneficial...thank you! ### 4/5 — 24 hour loop *2024-11-18, version 5.17.503* The 24 hour loop stoped working about 3 or 4 months ago on my iPhone and iPad didn’t work on iOS 17 and now running iOS 18.1 up dated the app every time an update became available hoping there would be a fix no luck It works fine on my wife’s Samsung Galaxy pad other then that it’s a good app --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
