### 1/5 — Video playback never works

*2022-10-24, version 5.5.902*

Never works

### 5/5 — Weather

*2022-08-03, version 5.5.902*

Thank you for the great service,is important to
have weather reports from a well informed and responsable source.

### 3/5 — Weather alerts for other areas?

*2022-07-25, version 5.5.902*

For the past week or two I am getting weather alerts for areas I’m not anywhere near by over 200 miles.  What’s up with that?  Usually an accurate app.

### 5/5 — Mr.

*2022-05-27, version 5.4.944*

Excellent tool to prepare for the day.

### 5/5 — Excellent weather app

*2022-01-10, version 5.3.901*

In an instant I can see what today’s weather will be in my location. I can get a pretty accurate forecast 9 or 10 days out. The map is excellent.  You can see radar across the globe.  Sunrise and sunset information. UV index. I walk, bike and golf. This app gives me information that helps me choose the optimum time to be outdoors.

### 1/5 — Meteorologists

*2021-08-16, version 5.3.901*

Meteorologists that work for cbs should go back to school. Put 0% chance of rain all day then change it later on and cost me money on hay I can’t bale cause it gets rained on. Don’t understand why they can’t predict the weather like they could in the 90’s. With all this modern tech. In the 90’s they give u a 7 day forecast and it be right for all 7 days now changes by the hour.

### 3/5 — Weather

*2021-08-04, version 5.3.901*

This app tells you the weather,

### 5/5 — CBS2Weather

*2021-07-29, version 5.3.901*

Up to date, accurate, you can always rely on this app.

### 5/5 — Weather

*2021-07-28, version 5.3.901*

Love the radar part!!! Helps know when rain or snow will start!!

### 1/5 — Has become the useless weather app

*2019-02-11, version 4.7.800*

This was my go to weather app for a long time then they started pulling out content in the daily forecast (a while ago). Now you only get details for at most 48 hours. Then if it is going to be sunny during the day and a foot of snow at night 72 hours out you get a sunny icon for the day and a crap summary of the day time forecast with no snow mention.  
That is just irresponsible as a weather provider.  Lonnie Quinn endorses this app well he better get the content fixed.  
It’s on my delete list for space on all my devices.  DON’T DOWNDLOAD
