I highly recommend the news network as well. ### 5/5 — Simply the best *2025-06-05, version 5.17.513* The entire team at 3 are knowledgeable and have a sense of humor. Like family! ### 5/5 — The best weather app *2025-05-31, version 5.17.513* It is a best weather app every day ### 3/5 — Weather *2025-05-20, version 5.17.513* This could be a good app, but unfortunately it’s alway behind what is currently happening.. but it’s better than channel 9 ### 5/5 — I’m just trying to make feel good like well love weather on Friday *2025-05-06, version 5.17.513* I know good things weather this morning only weather is going good turned cold weather ### 5/5 — W *2025-05-03, version 5.17.513* It’s so good it tells about were you would be alert when and why never had a better weather app ### 5/5 — Storm alerts *2025-03-16, version 5.17.513* Thank you David and the entire meteorology team for ALWAYS keeping us safe and updated. You are the best! ### 2/5 — Buggy, and unreliable *2024-11-05, version 5.16.1703* Crashes a lot, and isn’t accurate. I can’t click daily without the app crashing. I guess this is what you get if it’s free. ### 5/5 — Bad App *2024-05-12, version 5.13.806* SLOW LOADING. FIX THIS PEOPLE!!!!! ### 5/5 — Quick weather videos *2024-05-10, version 5.13.806* I love the availability of these quick weather forecast videos. Good radar options as well. ### 5/5 — Great weather team *2024-04-03, version 5.13.806* Moved to Watts Bar Lake two years ago from Charleston S.C. The weather team here on channel 3 is outstanding. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2024-04-03, version 5.13.806* Always works and up to date! ### 5/5 — Chaplain *2024-04-02, version 5.13.806* Excellent service ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Used to be good *2026-07-19, version 6.2.513* I’m in the north Georgia / Chattanooga area and used to rely on Channel 3’s weather app every day. Over the last year or so it’s gone downhill to the point I just don’t trust it anymore. This morning at 9am, your app was calling for an 85% chance of rain and thunderstorms around 1pm and more storms after that. A few hours later it had flipped to only a 15% chance of rain and no thunderstorms at all, even though nothing significant changed with the actual weather. Meanwhile, the basic Weather app on my iPhone stayed consistent and has been right all day. This kind of wild swing in the forecast isn’t a one‑time thing — it’s become normal for your app. It feels like the forecast is just bouncing from one extreme to the next instead of giving a reliable picture of what’s likely to happen. For people who work outside, drive long distances, or plan family activities around storms, this is absolutely ridiculous. I’d really like to go back to trusting Channel 3 for local weather, but your app needs serious work. Please review the forecast model you’re using for our area and tighten up the accuracy and consistency, or be upfront about how often it can change so viewers aren’t caught off guard. ### 1/5 — Buggy, and unreliable *2026-05-26, version 6.1.601* Crashes a lot, and isn’t accurate. I can’t click daily without the app crashing. I guess this is what you get if it’s free. ### 1/5 — Not great *2026-01-28, version 6.1.302* Channel 3 of Chattanooga can not predict the weather unless it’s happening at that moment…..which is not predicting the weather….it’s just observing the weather. These “professionals” can’t even get a “Next Day” prediction right except for a once in a blue moon type of thing and a monkey throwing darts at a dart board can pull that off. ### 1/5 — Glitchy app *2025-04-02, version 5.17.513* Glitchy app that keeps forcing you to watch videos and ads ### 1/5 — Trash *2025-01-10, version 5.16.1703* The free weather app on my phone is more accurate. 😂 ### 1/5 — Shuts down as soon as it opens *2023-07-01, version 5.10.500* Just updated the weather app. Big mistake. As soon as it opens it shuts down. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no success. ### 1/5 — Update doesn’t allow app to open *2023-06-30, version 5.10.500* Last 2 updates were not good for this app. The one released today caused the app not to open. The update before that slowed the app down as well. ### 1/5 — Radar Map *2022-05-22, version 5.5.600* Way too many temperature readings! ### 1/5 — Association *2021-10-31, version 5.4.808* You’re part of the liberal media. I’ll only use you for radar. I’ll never support any of your advertisers. ### 1/5 — Unreliable *2021-10-11* This up has been basically useless we have hay we cut spring and fall you can never follow this app and get an accurate weather report because it is constantly changing that does not give an accurate forecast we need something that will give you a forecast of what is happening for the next 3 to 5 days not changing every 3 to 5 hours get someone to do the forecast not relying on a computer to do it for you. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Weather *2026-08-08, version 6.2.513* I love the weather ### 5/5 — Yo *2026-06-22, version 6.2.513* I’m hungry ### 5/5 — My thoughts really do matter!! *2026-06-09, version 6.2.513* I use this app a few times a day. I didn’t expect the Easter tornado. Only had 2 minutes to get to my basement that night. This summer I am checking on the temps, and severe storms at times! Great meteorologist, easy app to follow too! A well trust team.❤️ They have saved my life during dangerous weather , too! ### 5/5 — Better *2026-05-30, version 6.1.601* Better than N Alabama weather alerts ### 5/5 — Lightening icon layer? *2026-05-21, version 6.1.601* What’s with the lightning overlay that never moves or does anything? The stationary icons obstruct the view of the weather pattern movement. If it’s a layer, why can’t I remove it? ### 5/5 — Local Trion Guy *2026-05-16, version 6.1.601* Great weather here!! 🧐🎯🏆🇺🇸✝️ ### 5/5 — Amazing!! *2026-04-20, version 6.1.601* You guys at news channel 3 are amazing thank you for all you do for Chattanooga and in our surrounding areas you guys rock!! ### 5/5 — Channel 3 rocks! *2026-03-06, version 6.1.302* I’ve always been and always will be a channel 3 man! ### 5/5 — Great weather app! *2026-02-27, version 6.1.302* This is the best local weather app I’ve used in a long time. I used to have channel 9’s app, but it crashed often and didn’t have all the features that local 3 weather. It is really user-friendly! ### 5/5 — Well I,m looking for wonderful best good morning TN valley *2025-08-27, version 5.17.708* Chris Mckeehan I,m better good morning weather too clay smith --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
