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. ### 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 ### 1/5 — Cbs NY WEATHER APP IS NOT WORKING *2015-02-21, version 3.6.100* I had this weather app installed on my iPhone 5s but since you did a bug fix on feb 12th, the app no longer works. When I tap on the icon to open it, it closes. I looked for the app in the App Store but it is not listed, but your app for other cities, ( ie. Boston ) are listed. It only shows up when I do a search for the app. I e-mailed cbs local support for help, but got no response. I also deleted the app which apparently was saved on the iCloud, but it still would not open. Although I haven't installed iOS 8, I used a another phone that has iOS 8 but the app does not appear in the App Store on that phone either. Is it no longer available for New York weather???? I did like the app especially to look at the video for Lonnie Quinn's TV weather report, since I often miss seeing it on tv. So what's going on?????? ### 1/5 — Requires you to give them access *2015-02-03, version 3.5.100* Well, at least CBS is up front about it. If you don't give them access to your location and allow them to send you whatever they want to, you don't get to use the app. It would be nice if the goofballs in charge could figure out the difference between "Highly Recommended" and "Required." ### 1/5 — This App BLOWS *2014-07-09, version 3.1.1* Crashes all the time. The carousel is just plain dumb and is glitchy. Radar is not helpful since it doesn't let you track. Who's half baked idea was it to get this app? ### 2/5 — Satellite and Radar Problems *2014-07-03, version 3.1.1* The app is great But when I check the radar It always take me back To the home screen And loads very slow I keep going to the app But takes me back to the home screen ### 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. ### 3/5 — Weather *2021-08-04, version 5.3.901* This app tells you the weather, ### 4/5 — Got slower since update. *2018-04-05, version 4.6.1200* App has been slow since the last update. Loads up about three times slower than it did in the past. Other than that the application is good. WX2WMU. ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 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!! ### 5/5 — Best weather app *2014-07-19, version 3.1.1* Easy to use, no annoying videos, no unnecessary scrolling, great map function, easy to use and lots of accurate information. Way better than the Weather Channel app (especially after their latest version ) ### 5/5 — App is good *2014-07-15, version 3.1.1* I think it's a good app. You have to play with it but does what it says. ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2014-06-13, version 3.0.1* I love this app!! It's so different then any other weather apps! I love that you can send your weather related photos directly to them. Great job CBS! ### 5/5 — Good Job *2014-06-11, version 3.0.1* A nice easy to use weather app that has everything I need. A great combo to have this and the CBS Local app. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
