### 5/5 — Outstanding - Better than all the other weather apps!

*2026-08-22, version 6.2.509*

This weather app is tailored by our local Erie News Now weather team. It’s well done, informative, and the best and most accurate weather app I’ve used. If you live in Erie or Northwest PA, you’d be crazy not to have this app!

### 5/5 — Life Saving

*2026-06-25, version 6.2.509*

We’ve been hammered the last few weeks, I mean bad. And I’ve been able to rely on this apps radar, and more accurate weather to keep my family safe. I used the radar to watch for when we could come out of our shelter during tornado like winds that wrecked our home. Wish you had a widget, I’ll never use Apple weather again unless they integrate the data you use. Add a widget soon please!

### 5/5 — Good job

*2025-06-18, version 5.17.508*

Like being notified about the changing weather in our area

### 1/5 — App.

*2025-02-07, version 5.17.508*

I just wanna look at the daily forecast and weekly forecast and not have to wait for commercials. I just want to be able to open up the app and get what I’m looking for.

### 5/5 — Fire app

*2024-05-23, version 5.14.701*

I love this app

### 1/5 — Lack of accessibility

*2024-04-17, version 5.13.806*

Lack of accessibility due to no closed captioning , its required under ADA law and FCC rule it must have captions on all times because there are several local residents here in Erie included myself are Deaf how can we get alert or reporting in video on the app but no captions? Its 2024 come on please reconsider and include us too.

### 1/5 — Forecast

*2024-04-16*

Why is the forecast on the app. The same as live tv broadcast?

### 1/5 — Weather

*2024-03-25*

The app is different from what John Stehlin says on live television.

### 1/5 — W

*2024-03-15*

The app is different from what John Stehlin says on live television.

### 5/5 — Best everrrrrrrrrr

*2024-03-15, version 5.13.806*

I just love when I’m putting my baby down for a nap and he gets startled by John Stehlin’s voice telling me there’s a new update for the weather. I literally think his voice is in my dreams too. I hear it when I’m shopping, when I’m driving, when I’m cooking, and when I’m brushing my teeth. His voice is imbedded into my brain. I wish Apple would pay him to use his voice as an option for Siri. Job well done to the weather team at WICU.
