App
Everytime I open the radar is closes the app like I didn’t click on anything you guys need to fix this thing
Crime
Still highlighting too much crime to get eyeballs. Try some more positive news coverage.
Great 👍
This news app is the best local and otherwise news app that I’ve ever used! I love the weather alert updates that are sent straight to my phone so matter were I am I’ll always know what bad weather is coming and exactly what to do in the event of a bad storm! Most of the times I heard it from the app before I do the tv or other outlets! Amazing in all ways. Hands down #1 news/weather app!!!!!

Awful compared to old weather app
Quite possibly the worst downgrade ever when compared to the former WTHR weather app. The radar on this app is abysmal compared to the old app. Terrible decision to get rid of the former app.
Excellent
I don’t live near Indianapolis. I live between Bloomington and Spencer near a spec on the map called Whitehall. It’s difficult to get good weather coverage here. WTHI out of Terre Haute used to be decent, but I think they are under new owners. They have basically jumped on the crazy train and absolutely abandoned everything good that they used to have. I was struggling this evening trying to find anything that could show me live, up to the minute coverage of the impending storm. I happened upon a WTHR advertisement and thought, well, it’s Indianapolis, but I’ll try it. I was amazed. Angela Buchman and the rest of the gang were incredible. Detailed , live coverage of my part of the state. They were all professional, yet remained very relatable. Like someone you would invite to a cookout in your backyard. From now on, they will be the storm team I look too for information during severe weather. Thank you all for helping me get through a very difficult storm.

Weather link does not work
When I click on weather, I get booted out of the app. We have severe storms tonight so very poor timing for app to malfunction. Please bring back the old weather app. This one is awful!!
Clunky, Unreliable App
I only have to believe the rating of this app has been manipulated. Absolutely no way it has a 4.8 naturally. This app is clunky. Constantly doesn’t load all content on pages. The weather portion in general is horrid. Sometimes the radar just doesn’t work. Sometimes trying to open radar will auto close the app. It’s clear they tried to make this with the least amount of money and resources possible. Uninstalled after two years. Cannot deal with it any longer.

Bad app
Too complicated and never can find anything.
Trusted coverage
WTHR in Indianapolis is the station I believe, has unbiased coverage good reporting as well as also including uplifting stories. Love when the reporters help solving problems that viewers may encounter and ask for help.
Timely and accurate
Why watch any other news channel. This news team delivers!
Good information
I’ve watched this channel for years always updated and interesting
Great Local Info
I really appreciate the weather portion of this app. I check it throughout the day. Keep up the great work, WTHR.
News
Love the news part. So much better than WLFI
Weather warnings
I appreciate the severe warnings when I need to gather my dogs and hunker down in my safe place. Even if the power goes out, I can still see the radar and hear when danger is near on my phone. Our weather people are really on top of the forecast. Thank you so much.
Yahweh is God
I like the app however, I liked the previous one better I found it easier to follow. But I am a huge fan of WTHR and especially Scott Swan. He is a total professional.
Bring back the separate weather app
The old (and separate) weather app was so much better. This combined app's weather isn't as detailed and just over all is terrible compared to the old separate app. Changes need to be made!
Prefer the stand alone weather app
The prior wthr stand alone weather app was far superior to the embedded weather in the wthr news app. Interactive radar is not as good.
Not a fan of New app - doesn't work well
When I first loaded the new app it worked well for a few days. Then it wouldn't load weather or top stories. I had to turn off my iPhone and turn it back on. I tried clearing my cache and everything suggested when I looked up solutions. In a weather emergency it's useless
App does not adapt
This app uses a tiny sized font and does NOT allow a person to zoom in, or use pinch/pull to make it bigger, nor does it use the accessibility features the phone offers. This needs to be improved.
The content is fine.
The content is fine.
The weather radar is clearly inferior to the former version
WTHR Indianapolis had a separate wether app for several years, including a good interactive weather radar that could present “predictive” animation for any location in the station’s Indiana footprint. In recent months that interactive radar became buggy and repeatedly blacked out, requiring reinstallation of the entire app. Now, WTHR has pushed its updated news and weather app. The weather app’s features are mediocre and the supposedly new and improved interactive radar is terrible. The radar map never shows conditions at the current time and the images of rain and storms will inexplicably black out during the predictive animation. I don’t live within 75 miles of Indianapolis and I don’t use the “news” part of this app often enough to comment on it.
