Thats the only way to watch the radar together understand the path of a storm. Channel 8 didn’t screw up their radar map. ### 4/5 — Come on *2025-10-27, version 5.17.801* It’s 2025 can you please just get the radar to work ### 4/5 — Don’t even live in the QC! *2025-10-16, version 5.17.706* I haven’t lived in the QC in like 6 or 7yrs, but I still love this app! I just don’t like that the radar always cuts off right around the USVI. ### 2/5 — Audio Issues *2025-03-03, version 5.17.511* No audio on the videos. There’s audio on the ads but when the actual video comes on there’s nothing. ### 4/5 — Widget? *2024-12-19, version 5.17.509* Yal need to put out an update with an home screen widget. ### 4/5 — My Review On This App *2024-08-24, version 5.15.417* Hey guys! I’ve been loving my time on this weather app, but I do have a few things to cover. You don’t have to read this if you don’t want to, but I do have a negative. It’s just that this app is kind of hard to navigate and look at without a problem. Of course, this is just my opinion, but this is what I think. In other weather apps, how the app looks is just a little easier than this one. So all I would say is that try to make how the app looks a little easier. Other then that, the app is pretty accurate, and overall, this is the best app that I’ve had so far. ### 1/5 — Weather today *2024-08-12, version 5.15.411* Why am I getting weather for December 28? Furthermore why is there not a live session? Do I have to reset something? Joseph Graboski ### 1/5 — Forecasters *2024-07-11, version 5.15.402* Why do males wear neckties and jackets? Weather channel males don’t ### 4/5 — I like the app *2024-05-09, version 5.12.707* I like the app with the hourly in the daily temperatures and our options. However, I only gave it four stars because I’d really like to be able to see the temperature in both Fahrenheit and Celsius AT THE SAME TIME instead of having to switch back-and-forth. ### 2/5 — Annoying *2024-04-27, version 5.12.707* I try to see the weather forecast and radar and it is overpowered by annoying ads that prevent my access to the actual program. When the program plays I only get part of the message then it flips to another message and ad. When I need to be “Sky Aware” I can’t get the actual full data because ads prevent reasonably quick access to the weather. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — To much advertising *2026-08-15, version 6.2.512* To much advertising ### 1/5 — I Would Love This App Except One Thing *2026-08-10, version 6.2.512* I would love this app, but one thing that really pisses me off and that you guys give me notification when the sun is shining. I don’t need to see that I don’t need that because I can look out the shining we’re not stupid people so I’m deleting your app cause it sucks ### 1/5 — Weather *2026-08-04, version 6.2.512* 🤷🏼‍♂️ ### 1/5 — Weather *2025-09-20, version 5.17.706* Want to just look at the weather and it goes to prepared weather casts and can’t get them off ### 1/5 — Ads during severe weather stream *2025-07-11, version 5.17.511* Hopefully you don’t die while the ads are abruptly playing during the live broadcast for severe weather while the sirens go off ### 1/5 — Radar *2025-06-03, version 5.17.511* The weather radar keeps disappearing when I click on it ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2025-05-21, version 5.17.511* You know what’s the worst? Trying to get updates about a tornado warning and getting your screen covered in ads. Terrible app, completely unreliable for emergency updates due to ad spam and interruptions. ### 1/5 — Sound *2025-03-01, version 5.17.511* No sound? ### 1/5 — Sound issues *2025-01-04, version 5.17.509* When I try to watch the weather forecast video, the ad sounds fine, but no sound comes from the weather video. I’m uninstalling the app. ### 1/5 — Never say what the special weather statement is. *2024-08-28, version 5.15.417* You never say what the special weather statement is !!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Not very good *2026-03-07, version 6.1.601* Very glitchy and clunky. The screen is so filled up with junk it’s hard to see the forecast or the radar. ### 5/5 — Best app in the whole world *2025-07-16, version 5.17.511* Could be a little better, but I like it. ### 5/5 — Software? *2025-06-25, version 5.17.511* The special alerts are not coming through on my iPhone. Commercials come through great. ### 5/5 — Thanks *2025-04-17, version 5.17.511* I love this app it is very helping to my family to keep us safe and when any and everything is going to happen.Thank you 😁 ### 5/5 — Best weather app *2024-08-02, version 5.15.411* I use this app all the time. It’s amazing. It always loads super quickly. It adjusts to your location easily. Radar is spot on and it is much more user friendly than the Apple installed generic weather app. Highly recommend! ### 5/5 — Why I love it *2024-07-30, version 5.15.411* I love it because one time there was a tornado 20 miles away and I was actually ride my Bike then I got the notification and then I new that I had to go home if I didn’t have the app I could of died ### 5/5 — Nice app *2024-07-25, version 5.15.411* I love this app ### 5/5 — Good!:) *2024-07-18, version 5.15.402* So good I always get notifications about everything and it doesn’t lag much it’s really good because I live in tornado alley ### 5/5 — U Rock !! *2024-05-09, version 5.12.707* I have your weather app on my iPhone as well as Chl8.
