### 2/5 — Ads

*2026-05-23, version 6.1.601*

The app has way too many ads. If you pause it, you have to endure another ad and then it restarts from the beginning, that’s annoying.

### 5/5 — Great app to have!

*2026-05-06, version 6.1.601*

Always keeps me in the loop with everything going on! Definitely recommend this app very useful to have!

### 2/5 — Used to be amazing

*2026-03-12, version 6.1.601*

A recent update made the maps significantly worse. You used to be able to customize your default view with whatever you wanted to see. Now they give you a bunch of presets that you can’t customize or remove and if you want what you used to have you have to create a new map, save it, and it gets buried in a corner.

Why they made the maps worse, and for no reason, is beyond me. But I’m about to switch to the other station’s app at this point. I used to love this app, it was perfect. But the map change is inexcusable. I’m talking a fireable offense for whoever green lit this change.

### 1/5 — Too many commercials

*2026-02-25, version 6.1.302*

Too many commercials. You have to watch a new set of commercials for each video. It’s not worth it.

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2026-01-24, version 6.1.302*

Too many advertisements posted all over the page.  Very buggy especially trying to watch the weather updates.  No way to exit them without closing app down.  You can do better

### 1/5 — Can only watch in portrait mode on ipad

*2025-12-20, version 5.17.801*

I keep loading and unloading app .... Hoping it will correct it's self or a corrective update will happen.

### 2/5 — Didn’t tell me about the lightening storm at my house at all

*2025-07-18, version 5.17.510*

We had a bad storm last night, I had no notifications about any of it. Lightening was crashing all around, but you sent nothing. About 45 minutes after it stopped, you sent a notification saying there was heavy rain at my location, but it was long gone by then

### 5/5 — Great Weather app

*2025-06-07, version 5.17.510*

If you want to know what the weather is doing this is your app

### 3/5 — Bad form

*2025-05-12, version 5.17.510*

Thank you for continuous monitoring of the weather but when I get a tornado threat warning but must watch a commercial just to get the warning is just unnecessary. So when I get the warning I go to the weather channel app to get instant access. Love Kendra but not willing to wade through your commercials to get to her. Bad Form.

### 1/5 — First alert

*2025-05-11, version 5.17.510*

Last update will not videos on my iPhone 6+.
Nor other peoples.
