### 2/5 — Clickbait ads and commercials on videos

*2026-02-16, version 6.1.401*

I understand that advertising helps pay for stuff- but when I get a station alert and then have to watch commercials before I see the videos of said alert, it's time to say goodbye. There are so many free apps with close to zero commercials out there. I'll give y'all one thing! Your commercials are not NEARLY as bad as WBBT's app! 🤷‍♂️I just go to YouTube and watch Ryan Hall or Max Velocity which is just as good.

### 5/5 — I take back prior review

*2026-02-04, version 6.1.401*

You’ve redeemed yourself with the latest update. Love the features and quick loading time with beautiful graphics! And, the minimal ads with no full page ads to have to close has this working far better than weatherbug. 
The only little gripe I’ve had, maybe corrected in this update, is that the app would not work while visiting Germany. I’d get notifications but the app would not load. 

(Prior review a while ago)
You’ve ruined one of the best weather apps with full page ads suddenly appearing! Political ad no less to start. The audio was unexpected at 2AM in the morning, and at full volume woke others in my home! 
Further, the silence button and the X button are too close to the corners to shut off or close! This may be because my phone is set for larger text… but still should not be! Move to another app feature?… Another ad!  
I’ve used this app for years and is my local weather. I’ve given the app excellent reviews in the past. It was quick to load… but no more! Totally disgusting business practice. I have so many personal settings and locations I hate to leave behind, but if this is not remedied it’s time for me to find another app.

### 5/5 — Accurate

*2026-01-28*

%110 accurate, you can it depend on it. Download it and you will see what I am talking about. That’s it

### 5/5 — Very accurate

*2025-12-09, version 5.17.705*

Just moved to Virginia from Florida and really enjoyed how well and accurate the forecast turned out.

### 1/5 — Always wrong

*2025-10-19, version 5.17.705*

Obsessed with predicting rain

### 5/5 — CBS 6 weather app

*2025-10-04, version 5.17.705*

Very rare this is wrong, probably 95% correct

### 5/5 — Good app

*2025-05-05, version 5.17.508*

Very good app tells me alerts and everything I love this app so much chefs kiss

### 4/5 — CBS 6 Weather

*2024-10-26, version 5.16.1703*

Basically a good app. If it could be streamlined to what I most want to see on top it would be my first go-to every morning.

### 1/5 — Annoying full screen ad

*2024-08-14, version 5.15.406*

I have used and love this app for years. I tolerated the multitude of banner ads despite the fact they were mostly repetitive; the same ad over and over and over. But now these full page pop up ads for some gutter company are ruining the app; but it could be any company and I still would be annoyed. I understand the use of advertising, and the banners were sufficient without making me keep closing these popup ads over and over. Instead of being interested in the services this company offers, I am annoyed by their insistence on using these full screen ads and by WTVR for allowing it. This is a no win for either of you.

### 1/5 — Sudden Full Pg Ads!

*2024-07-18*

You’ve ruined one of the best weather apps with full page ads suddenly appearing! Political ad no less to start. The audio was unexpected at 2AM in the morning, and at full volume woke others in my home! 
Further, the silence button and the X button are too close to the corners to shut off or close! This may be because my phone is set for larger text… but still should not be! Move to another app feature?… Another ad!
