Come on people we need regularly updated weather not yesterdays stats when a hurricane is approaching like u did with Milton !!!!!! People’s lives - guess not important! Bring Tom Back! And Candace quit interrupting when other new guy is giving updates on hurricane ! It’s called MANNERS ! ### 3/5 — Jumping the gun *2024-10-11, version 5.16* The “hurricane Nadine is not yet a hurricane, nor has that storm been named. Jumping the gun ### 3/5 — Sometimes when it ain’t broke, don’t fix it *2024-09-25* This used to be a better app. I think you do well just go back to the old system. This one doesn’t give you as much information. I don’t think I’m retired airline pilot. I know a little bit about whether and I don’t get near as much out of this, I did the old one, but I appreciate your effort. Thank you. ### 4/5 — Weather Watch News 6 *2024-08-18, version 5.14* The app works great keeping weather updates at the forefront ### 2/5 — Hurricane review *2024-08-05, version 5.14* The first thing one sees is a track from a past storm rather than the most recent storm! ### 3/5 — Helpful but not the same *2024-08-03, version 5.14* I really counted on this app during previous storms but it seems glitchier than it was in the past. When viewing the forecast cone it will just kill the app. Miss the more reliable older version. ### 3/5 — Keeps crashing *2024-07-29, version 5.14* This has been my go to app for hurricane info and tracking plus weather alerts outside my area. Unfortunately it now crashes every time I go to the Tracking site. Looking for another app this hurricane season. ### 1/5 — Not a fan of the new app *2024-07-06, version 5.13* Last year the app so simple to use and I feel as if this new on isn't as I formative. Maybe I'm using it wrong. But I'm not a fan if the changes. ### 2/5 — Too many Notifications *2024-07-01, version 5.12* Is there a way to limit notifications to a few “favorite” areas of possible impact? Getting dozens of notifications a day for a storm that will stay a thousand miles away is pretty annoying, no? ### 4/5 — Good app to help follow hurricane activity *2024-07-01* Sometimes there are too many updates of hurricanes that are out in the ocean. I want information on hurricanes that are heading near or towards land. It almost becomes like the boy who cried wolf. I love that we get up to date information. I wish I could select which ones I want. Also, I prefer the previous tracker map. ### 1/5 — Don’t like new app *2024-06-30, version 5.12* Hard to get adjusted to radical changes ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing… definitely doesn’t run smoothly! *2024-06-29, version 5.12* Unreliable app ### 1/5 — Frustrating Changes:Blurry Maps and Annoying Ads *2024-06-29* The recent updates to this app are extremely disappointing. The maps are now blurry and hard to read, and the new angles are terrible. Rounding the maps instead of keeping them flat was a poor choice. Additionally, a large advertisement that takes up half the screen is the first thing I see. I am planning to delete this app because it has become difficult to view. ### 2/5 — New map is awful *2024-06-23, version 5.11* I hate the new globe map being used. It hardly shows the US or Mexico any more, and it’s hard to see where things are happening. The flat map was much better. I’ve been using this app to watch for storms for several years now, but now I’m looking for something else, because the 3d globe map is practically useless. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — OUC Wasting Time *2024-10-11, version 5.16* Like many people I lost power right during the hurricane. Immediately I reported it. I understand it’s a big job to get everyone back online. However taking 48 hours to “Assess the Damage” before repairing anything is absurd. Thousand of out of state lineman and trucks and they’re only going to use existing personnel? It’s not their fault that we lost power. It is on them to take two days before starting repairs. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t update any longer! *2024-09-09, version 5.16* I compare with NOAA and it doesn’t match any longer… Storms appear one minute & disappear the next! What’s going on?!?! I’m gonna remove this App… ### 1/5 — Look outside first *2024-08-24, version 5.15* The worst weather forecasting I have ever seen. You can’t tell us what tomorrow’s weather will be but you can tell people how many hurricanes we should get for three months in advance. Did you ever stop and think what harm you cause to thousands of construction workers when your wrong they are told to stay home because of your forecast of rain. Think about the concrete workers. ### 1/5 — Not on the storm that is coming *2024-08-05, version 5.14* It would be nice of a track the storms that are coming or the ones that are here for that matter ### 1/5 — Update *2024-08-04, version 5.14* This update choose the orientation (landscape vs portrait) for the user. I should be able to choose not the app. Very frustrating ! ### 1/5 — Crashes *2024-07-31, version 5.14* App crashes too often while using. ### 1/5 — Ocean view *2024-07-27, version 5.14* Would like to see less ocean and more tropics ### 1/5 — Don’t like new apps *2024-07-11, version 5.13* I like the old app. Don’t like the mapbox, app does less. Had to get the hurricane app also and don’t like it also. I miss all the extra features that the old app does. Can I get the old version back? ### 1/5 — Bad *2024-07-09, version 5.13* Bring back the old version! It was much easier, better than this new version!🥺😖 ### 1/5 — Terrible new app *2024-07-08, version 5.13* This app has become so inaccurate! The storms are not updated at all. Still shows Beryl out in the gulf as a tropical storm. Not even close to Texas yet. Such an embarrassment to WKMG. Will be deleting it soon as I find another one . ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best weather app *2024-11-25, version 5.16* I moved out of state and still use this app for the weather forecast in the tropics and radar For me in NC ### 5/5 — Amazing App *2024-10-11, version 5.16* The app kept me updated on the status of Hurricane Milton and the reports were accurate. Keep this app updated so it can help others in the future. ### 5/5 — Milton *2024-10-10, version 5.16* We were at the beach and this app kept us informed on when to leave and return. ### 5/5 — Hurrican information *2024-09-29, version 5.16* I am happy for your sight keeps me well inform of just where the hurricanes thank you ### 5/5 — Great weather App *2024-09-25, version 5.16* I depend 100% on this app. Anytime day or night , especially if I’m traveling.

Thanks Candace and Johnathan 🎖️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ### 5/5 — Latest update, app only crashes *2024-06-29, version 5.12* With the latest update, the app only crashes - it won’t open. Go back please! While there’s a hurricane forming, we need this app to work. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Weather *2024-06-10, version 5.11* Great asset to have when weather gets nasty.
