I removed it ### 2/5 — Is a bad storm headed your way? Watch this ad first to find out… *2026-04-14, version 6.1.601* I used to love this app until just recently. When the weather is frightening and you want to see updated radar, you shouldn’t have to watch an ad first. Like WTH?!? Put that in the 7 day forecast area where you know someone is just chilling and making plans—not when their lives may be in danger. ### 2/5 — Fix the 24 hr radar *2024-12-20, version 5.17.507* I’ve had this app for years. I loved it & found it to be very reliable… until the radar play started to freeze. The 24 hour radar playback freezes at about 8 hours into the future. I’ve deleted & redownloaded the app a few times & it does not help. This problem started about 4-5 months ago. I would LOVE this bug to be fixed. Giving 2 stars because 24 hour radar is a standard one should be able to see. ### 2/5 — No Videos *2024-09-22, version 5.15.406* The videos are not updating. The most current video says 22 days ago. What happened?? ### 4/5 — Video hasn’t updated in 21 days *2024-09-20, version 5.15.406* I love this app, but no video for the past 21 days and counting. ### 1/5 — Worst news app ever! *2021-05-17, version 5.3.400* If you want to continue any story, hit the button then go make yourself some coffee, do a load of laundry, do shopping and then ONLY THEN will those stories load. Our gen put a man on the moon but you guys can’t manage a decent webpage? I should have done it for you. ### 2/5 — Full page ads *2020-11-15, version 5.0.1006* Last update. Now annoying full page ads that interrupt screen transitions. Loved this app but ads are becoming intolerable. Might consider other weather app soon if these disruptive ads continue. ### 1/5 — Want to ‘read more’ option just advertising trap. *2020-08-27, version 5.0.804* Have had this app for years. My favorite local news app. But has been trashed by updates that gives teaser info then you have to hit ‘read more’ to get complete article. Usually have had to tap it numerous times to get the remainder of the article. Unfortunately many times when tapping that space to get remainder of article have gotten unsolicited advertising and only way to get rid of the advertising was to shut down the app. Usually it is one of the many many advertising sites that have replaced the news articles space that is why one is now required to tap if you want to ‘read more’. Am giving up tapping and looking for a news site not an advertising trap site. ### 3/5 — Video problems *2020-04-17, version 4.10.2707* Videos aren’t working half the time. And are not updated. Checked and it said 8 days ago. I checked again and there is one from 3 hours ago. I love this app. Please can you fix the videos? Thank you so much. ### 2/5 — Unable to play videos *2020-02-27, version 4.10.2501* Makes this relatively useless. I get the same information form other weather apps, the local video forecast is what would have set this app apart. ### 2/5 — Ok app, but videos won’t play *2020-02-26, version 4.10.2501* Every time I try to watch the forecast, the app tells me it’s unable to play the selected video. Which pretty much defeats the purpose, of having a local weather app. ### 1/5 — Video Error *2020-02-25, version 4.10.2501* I love this app, however when I go to watch the weather report videos they post I get this, “Video Error: Cannot play requested video” every time. I’ve tried deleting and re-downloading the app and it still hasn’t fixed the issue. ### 1/5 — Poor excuse for a weather app *2020-02-16, version 4.10.2501* This app has always been poorly done. You can tell the station forecasters don’t care about it, most never update the forecast video. Plus if they didn’t take interest they would know the video forecast quit working weeks ago after last app update. ### 2/5 — Only opens 1/2 the time *2020-01-14, version 4.10.2101* This app is useful when it opens. Why is it locked up so often? ### 2/5 — Radar *2019-09-03, version 4.10.600* I loaded update and now the radar is non functioning. Not good folks. ### 1/5 — The app improvement was anything but! *2019-06-29, version 4.8.900* The “ new “ radar map is horrible! Hate to say it, buts it’s back to weather channel app for now. ### 3/5 — Bad update. *2019-06-26, version 4.8.900* Tons of issues with 6/24/19 update. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Want commercials ? *2026-06-04, version 6.2.512* App was great not it is horrible nothing but add after add. Just show me the weather fox!!! Ugh. Deleting ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2026-06-02, version 6.2.512* I used to love this app but now it plays a two minute ad every time I click on a different section, like hourly forecast or daily forecast. It’s so bothersome that I had to delete it. ### 1/5 — Previous update *2026-05-31, version 6.2.512* Why does a weather app need pushed ads to check the weather. Good thing there is no weather warnings as I may never make it to shelter since I have to watch an ad first. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-05-31, version 6.2.512* This APP is garbage especially because all i get are ads. I have permanently deleted this app and will use channel 19 weather. I wish i could give it zero stars ### 1/5 — Used to be good *2026-05-30, version 6.2.512* Used to be very helpful and easy to use. It’s clear the focus now is on watching ads. ### 1/5 — Ads?! *2026-05-29, version 6.2.512* I have to watch an ad to see the weather?? And changing from daily to the map I gave to watch it again ? Deleted. ### 1/5 — Ruined app with ads *2026-05-28, version 6.2.512* With every click it’s another ad. Way to go! I guess it’s time to find a different weather app for my local weather since yours is now garbage. ### 1/5 — Awful *2026-05-23, version 6.1.601* Daily and hourly do not match up at all, it’s also wrong 50% of the time. ### 1/5 — Bad *2025-08-19, version 5.17.706* The upgrade with Ads makes me want to delete this app now. ### 1/5 — Junk *2025-07-25, version 5.17.706* Used to be so reliable.. now it will show clear sky’s on the radar as it’s POURING rain!! Looking for a new weather app!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Today and Tomorrow *2025-01-24, version 5.17.507* Love this app so much. For the Today and Tomorrow weather can you please put the day next to that or a date. Mon. Tues When viewing I’m not sure what day I’m viewing and have to think what day is today and tomorrow. LOL. Thank you so much. ### 5/5 — Best for Local Weather *2021-01-31, version 5.1.403* I’ve used this app for many years across many devices and have had no major problems to report. The app is straightforward to use, and is especially helpful for local weather. The national forecasts just aren’t as accurate. ### 5/5 — Video is working again. Thank you. *2020-03-25, version 4.10.2705* It looks like they have the video problems resolved. Adding it back again. ### 5/5 — Birthday *2019-03-07, version 4.7.801* Happy birthday Scott ### 5/5 — Nice A+++ *2015-11-08, version 3.9.701* Works great. ### 5/5 — Nice app *2015-06-19, version 3.6.601* Nice neat easy to look at your weather ### 5/5 — Nice, clean. *2015-05-12, version 3.6.601* I've had it for about a week and so far it runs very smoothly. It provides a ten day, extended forecast, along with an up to the minute radar, with severe weather warnings. Also, it's a Cleveland weather app so its obviously much more catered to our area. ### 5/5 — Great free weather app *2015-05-11, version 3.6.601* Installed it and already received a severe weather alert. Very accurate ### 5/5 — Love it! *2011-05-25, version 2.1.1* I love this app! Someone said that the radar isn't working, but all you have to do is push the play button on the top left corner. Works great! ### 5/5 — Weather *2011-04-06, version 2.1.1* Best weather app ever! School closings, too live radar. This app is the best, and its FREE! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
