Please fix. ### 2/5 — Missed a Tornado Warning *2026-03-31, version 6.1.601* I know NE Ohio doesn’t get a lot of tornadoes, but I was just inside a tornado warning area and got notified by other apps I have, but not this one. Do better… ### 2/5 — Don't like new update *2026-03-20, version 6.1.601* Not a fan at all of the new radar. It goes way too fast. Not user-friendly for older eyes. This app used to be my favorite over the others but not anymore. At least give us the option to use the old radar. ### 3/5 — New radar has less options *2026-01-09, version 6.1.302* The new radar is pointless. Before we had the option of past and future and now that's been removed. Why remove a feature? Please bring that option back! It's a waste of time to have to flip between past and future. That's what they have on TV and every other weather radar app has, but with the latest update that option has been removed. ### 3/5 — C *2024-12-18, version 5.16.1703* Too many commercials ### 3/5 — A ton of ads *2024-11-30, version 5.16.1703* A ton of ads ### 3/5 — Need an ad-free version *2024-11-27, version 5.16.1703* Would pay to not see giant ads. ### 3/5 — Notifications *2024-08-08, version 5.15.412* Nice app, but when notifications are on the app sends UNWANTED notifications, things that you did not select. For this reason, have to turn off ALL notifications. ### 3/5 — Best app in NE Ohio but missing a feature *2024-07-09, version 5.15.401* I love the app, it’s my go too. But as a weather junkie I would like to see more than reflectivity on my radar (rain). Please give us a velocity filter as well so we can see imbedded rotation and wind speeds, getting tired of using NWS online radar for that which can be unreliable to load on my phone. ### 3/5 — Videos are bad *2024-02-13, version 5.12.705* There’s a very loud high pitched sound in every video, fix it. ### 2/5 — Used to be good *2023-07-26, version 5.10.500* The app used to be really good and accurate. As of late the radar is always wrong, doesn’t load half the time and shows severe weather where it isn’t. Hope they can fix it or going to move on to more accurate info. ### 2/5 — Best weather app *2023-07-15, version 5.10.500* Radar quit working 2 days now. This weather app was the only one I trusted. Please fix. ### 2/5 — 19 weather app *2023-07-09, version 5.10.500* Used to love this app but lately the radar part of the app has been messing up “BAD” freezing going on and off ext NO ITS NOT MY PHONE HAD THE PHONE CHECKED 2X it’s your app FIX THE BUGS IN IT!!!!!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Fear mongering *2026-05-25, version 6.1.601* Trying to contact somebody from the app to find out what all the red is when barely any rain talk about trying to hype up nothing ### 1/5 — Don’t like format *2026-02-25, version 6.1.302* The previous reporting was much better than the current!Tank ### 1/5 — Usually wrong *2025-09-25, version 5.17.706* The site is usually wrong with the forecast. If I was wrong at work as much as they are I’d be fired ### 1/5 — When you need it, it’s junk *2025-04-03, version 5.17.604* There’s a severe storm and I’m trying to figure out my options, all I want is to watch the live weather and all I get are ads and some kind of talk show interview with Dolly Parton which is lovely but I literally need to see live weather working to keep my family safe, thanks for nothing. ### 1/5 — Marcis *2024-08-04, version 5.15.412* Unable to delete the mute X, happens daily ### 1/5 — Incorrect alerts *2024-04-18, version 5.12.705* I keep getting weather alerts but the radar and current weather doesn’t reflect it. ### 1/5 — Terrible app presentation *2024-03-22, version 5.12.705* Sadly a great weather team is represented by a crappy app. App is more interested in ads than info. Due to such a poor app, I only use it for bad weather notifications, other than that I keep it turned off. ### 1/5 — Radar *2023-08-22, version 5.10.500* The radar map does not move. If I slide it manually it doesn’t show the time. It shows question marks. ### 1/5 — What happened? *2023-02-14, version 5.7.301* I really depended on the information in the former app. It was easy to follow and told me what I needed to know. The new one is too cluttered and segmented. ### 1/5 — Tornado Warnings *2022-07-20, version 5.4.932* How long does it take to say there’s a tornado warning …. these guys talk and talk and talk and repeat themselves over and over. Enough already and get back to programming please ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Weather *2026-05-18, version 6.1.601* I like and appreciate their weather coverage. It appears to be more in depth ### 5/5 — Beautiful Morning Weather *2025-06-17, version 5.17.604* Sitting on the Back Patio with Our pooch (Buster) ### 5/5 — Love First Alert *2024-12-28, version 5.17.509* Really appreciated the newscast on 8/24/23! We were in the outer banks of North Carolina when Jason was reporting the tornados hitting Mentor where we live! This allowed us to contact relatives the next morning who checked to make sure our house was okay! Great weather team! ### 5/5 — Weatherman, Kyle RITTENHOUSE ?? *2024-10-03, version 5.15.412* A look- alike ? ### 5/5 — Delay in notifications *2024-08-20, version 5.15.412* Sometimes they come through prior to the weather as they should, sometimes they come through after the current weather is already happening and sometimes not at all. Overall the radar and forecasts seem very accurate. ### 5/5 — Weather forecast *2024-08-08, version 5.15.412* Forward looking radar is excellent Data presentation is simple and very comprehensive Easy to navigate Please don’t change ### 5/5 — Da best *2024-04-05, version 5.12.705* It’s very easy to use and on point I highly recommend it ### 5/5 — Perfect app for local weather! *2024-03-05, version 5.12.705* We get notifications from heavy rain to lightening alerts. I love it. It works on my Apple Watch 7 too. ### 5/5 — Great site *2023-07-09, version 5.10.500* I watch it everyday to prepare ### 5/5 — Best weather channel *2023-05-06, version 5.7.301* You can always count on channel 19 news and weather… favorite all time channel ever Thank you for always being dependable and being right on spot. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
