### 1/5 — It’s the Gulf of Mexico

*2026-06-10*

Deleting this POJ.  They can’t even manage basic geography.

### 4/5 — Works great for Weather

*2026-01-24*

Weather reporting is excellent- matches well with personal weather stations in our neighborhood.

Would give you five stars if you allow our Apple Watch mirror the iPhone settings.

Current Weather iPhone/Watch is not accurate- due to inadequacies of the Weather app.

Congratulations on your method(s) of obtaining weather data.

### 2/5 — Disappointing version change

*2025-12-16*

1) in previous versions there was Closed Captioning for the video.  A Closed Captioning option does not appear anywhere, nor is there any reference to it in the help section. 

2)the base map can be changed in the full map view, but that change does not transfer to the small view on the Home Screen.

### 4/5 — Good forecasts and radar. Needs widgets

*2025-07-31*

The ads are as annoying as any other free weather app. The main things I use in it are the forecasts and radar. BUT if it had widgets it'd be a game changer. I'd be using it instead of the weather channel app.

### 1/5 — Worst weather app on the planet

*2025-05-29*

Currently your app shows Dripping Springs Tx as being in a severe Thunderstorm, showing red on your interactive radar. Dripping Springs has blue skies currently.

### 1/5 — Drop the Ads

*2025-01-13*

Get rid of the Ads. Are you kidding me!?!
Bye.
Wapp is Wack.
Do Not Use

### 1/5 — Worthless, just gives current weather stats

*2024-03-15*

This app is completely worthless,  it just gives the current weather stats.  No most recent video forecast, no weather radar.  No point. Removing app.

### 2/5 — In and out

*2023-05-20*

When I first started using this app all was cool. For a while now your radar screen has been going in and out in and out and sometimes out for a long time???  or when I am viewing it, it fades in and out, in and out.  Come on guys get your act together.  I do hope that this is corrected soon or I will have to find another weather app.

### 3/5 — Annoying Ads, More Accurate Weather

*2023-05-16*

The ads are really in your face on this app, which is why I give it only 3 stars. I can barely stand to look at it. I’d give it at least 4 stars for weather accuracy, though. 
I have another local Austin weather app and in side-by-side comparisons find the forecasts to be more accurate on this app. This WAPP called for 100% rain and it indeed poured. The competition called for only 30% rain. On the other hand, the competition’s ads are on a subtle banner across the top of the screen, which is so much nicer. 
I would happily pay for a subscription to be free of the annoying ads in this app.

### 2/5 — Waiting for Weather

*2023-01-08*

If you want an updated weather forecast on the weekends you’d better wait until Monday morning and just watch the live show. I checked this morning (Sunday) for a forecast and the latest one available was from 13 hours prior.  Just for reference it’s approximately 8:30 on Sunday morning when I write this. The broadcast had been on from 6am to 8am. No morning forecast pushed to the app so those of us who don’t like to get up at ungodly hours can see the outlook.
