It’s always been my go to for our local weather. But the last few months have been horrendous. The ads with every. single. thing. you. touch. Is RIDICULOUS!! I understand using apps to help pay for the app. But every single time? Really? Insane. ### 2/5 — Too many pop up ads *2026-08-20, version 6.2.520* This app used to be amazing. Now you have to watch and then click to close an ad EVERY move you make within the app. Terrible when you are in a car or on the go ### 3/5 — Weather app *2026-08-14, version 6.2.520* Was my favorite app for weather. It’s a really nice app, but now they have ruined it with forced ads every time you click one of its features. Some of the ads go on and on without a way to exit them. I really don’t have time to wait out ridiculous advertisements for things I don’t want, just to check the weather. Please make a premium version with no ads and I will give it five stars all day. ### 1/5 — Collierville *2026-08-08, version 6.2.520* 30 sec ad pops up when opening the app. Then if you navigate to the radar or weather outlook, ad pops up again. Too many ads popping up rendering it virtually unusable. App was great the past decade or so. But now I’m looking for another app to use since it takes so long to navigate around, especially when severe weather is coming thru takes forever to wait for ads to wrap up over and over when they keep popping up when navigating to radar. ### 1/5 — Say no to ADS!!! *2026-08-07, version 6.2.520* I will be deleting this weather app. Why are ads being pushed every time I select an option? When I open a weather app I want to see the weather and not be bombarded with useless ads. More importantly, when there is severe weather I need alerts to be immediate and easy to access. I don’t want ads or other distractions delaying an important weather notification when seconds matter. This has been too frustrating, and I no longer feel this app is reliable enough to keep. ### 1/5 — Not good anymore too many adds *2026-08-03, version 6.2.520* Did the update now I open and a 30 sec add runs .. I deleted the app it’s not worth having adds when you just wanna check the radar for a sec . Using other apps add free or channel 9 radar ### 1/5 — To many ads! *2026-08-02, version 6.2.520* To many ads make the app unusable ### 1/5 — Add have ruined this app *2026-08-02, version 6.2.520* This was my favorite weather app for years and recently they have added so many ads that you cannot even use the app. You have to click the ads or they will not clear and let you use the app. Worst app I have in my phone for apps. ### 1/5 — Too many pop ups *2026-08-02, version 6.2.520* Used to be a great app. Now it’s full of pop ups every time you tap the screen. It’s went downhill ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-07-29, version 6.2.520* The ads made it terrible ### 1/5 — Disgusted *2026-07-26, version 6.2.520* I am disgusted with the constant ads. I’d rather pay for this app. Makes using it difficult and time consuming. ### 1/5 — Too many commercials *2026-07-26, version 6.2.520* Used all the time! Now I can’t look at the weather without going through two commercials!! ### 2/5 — Kill the ads *2026-07-26, version 6.2.520* Waayyyy too many ads!! You can’t see the radar without having to wait for an ad to not freeze to see what’s coming! On the gulf coast of Florida radar is important!!! Not the endless ada ### 1/5 — Ad fest!?! *2026-07-26, version 6.2.520* Stop with the ads!?! App is absolutely useless; ad after ad after ad….the weather has changed 10 times by the time you actually get to see it!?! ### 1/5 — Adds *2026-07-25, version 6.2.520* Why all the sudden ads are popping up? Never had that before. ### 1/5 — ads *2026-07-23, version 6.2.520* can’t do anything without ads constantly popping up now :/ unfortunate because this was my favorite weather app, going to find a new one ### 1/5 — Adds *2026-07-22, version 6.2.520* Way to many adds probably going to delete app because takes to long to get the weather ### 1/5 — Annoying ads *2026-07-20, version 6.2.520* I use to love this app. Used it all the time to check the weather.

It was excellent. Like others have said recently, the last few months it has been useless. You can’t open the app or do anything without being hit with countless video ads. Will not use again until the ads are reduced significantly. ### 1/5 — Hate this app *2026-08-26, version 6.2.520* The ads are annoying going to delete and use someone else’s ### 1/5 — Adds just to open *2026-08-25, version 6.2.520* Adds play for every single thing you click. ### 1/5 — Way too many ads *2026-08-21, version 6.2.520* You can’t even open the app without Ads popping up every two seconds. One goes away and another comes on. Can’t even see what the weather is like. ### 1/5 — Junk *2026-08-20, version 6.2.520* Junked up with intrusive adds. ### 1/5 — Great forecast, but. . . *2026-08-20, version 6.2.520* I like and trust the forecast. However, I rated it only a 1 because first I have to watch a commercial! In less than a minute, I had to watch two commercials. That’s very annoying. ### 1/5 — Adds *2026-08-08, version 6.2.520* Sucks ### 1/5 — Annoying ads *2026-08-08, version 6.2.520* Used to love this app, now the ads are taking over. They are so annoying, I just want to see the weather map or hourly updates and it makes me watch an ad everytime I switch to a different part of the app. I’m deleting it and going to action news 5 ### 1/5 — Not good *2026-08-08, version 6.2.520* This app has become the worst. Every click starts an ad ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Ads👎🏼 *2026-08-05, version 6.2.520* My go to weather app but what if I don’t have the time to get through 2-3 ads just to check the weather? ### 5/5 — Collierville *2025-12-25* Great feature of this app is that specific warnings and alerts can easily be set or turned off. Example, only tornado warning set and all others silenced. Or if in a flash flood prone area, then that can be set and everything else silenced. Very nice feature other apps don’t offer. Very easy to use. ### 5/5 — Weather *2025-10-18, version 5.17.708* It’s a weather app that tracks weather conditions lol ### 5/5 — Channel13 Weatherapp *2025-05-02, version 5.17.607* Accurate, interesting on point ### 5/5 — Weather *2024-11-19, version 5.16.1703* I like this app it shows me when the rain moving in and when it’s going to rain ### 5/5 — Fox 13 weather *2024-10-23, version 5.16.1703* I like the app for its accuracy on a daily go to and has all the features alerts for traveling ### 5/5 — Love this app *2024-09-14, version 5.15.407* I have used it for years, tells me about all the storms coming. I like running it from now thru future, the blue dot being me, and s e when it’s going to rain. Also, like that I can zoom in on say image, and find a way out of a maze of streets, if I get lost. ### 5/5 — Fox *2024-09-11, version 5.15.407* I never give a 5 star review.
