## Most critical reviews (5 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Forecast not displaying correctly

*2022-02-12, version 5.4.944*

We have a summer cabin up in Tobyhanna in the Poconos. The temperature there is much different than the area around Philadelphia, usually 10-15 degrees cooler.  The CBS Philly app shows the same exact forecast for Tobyhanna as it does for my home town near Philly.  The default weather app provided on the iPhone shows it correctly.  Reported this a year ago and it still isn’t fixed.

### 1/5 — NSA runs this app

*2017-09-29, version 4.5.1602*

Now, with iOS 11 update, you CANNOT select “While Using” in location services and still get weather for your current location. Why? Every other weather app allows the user to choose “While Using” instead of “Always”. Why must they track me all the time and put additional work on my phone’s battery? I guess I’ll go back to Accuweather. Too bad—I really liked this app before that.

### 4/5 — Please update videos

*2020-05-31, version 5.0.301*

Why would you have a video section if you don’t have current ones??? The videos in there are from 16 months ago .... why bother having them or having a video section if they are over a year old ????  Plus the web section doesn’t work well at all. This app at this point is absolutely useless !!!!!  Why have this app if it’s never updated !!??  Please fix the app and update it !!!   I watch your weather on the tv during your news, please fix the app !!

### 5/5 — Better than news

*2021-11-19, version 5.3.901*

Weather app is so much better than the news app

### 5/5 — What happened to this app, I also have the latest iPhone X it chokes

*2018-08-28, version 4.6.1702*

What happened to this app?  It used to be fast and reliable.  It takes forever to open  and in some instances just times out back to the tile.  I have the latest iPhone 10z
