### 2/5 — Need an update

*2026-06-23, version 60.1.401*

System is not working as well as before. Want play past radar. Keeps closing when hitting play. Started 3 days ago.

### 5/5 — Weather

*2025-06-15, version 50.17.509*

Best app for tracking rain/storms in the border belt.  If vacationing in MB.  It’s the app to have…

### 5/5 — App

*2025-04-06, version 50.17.509*

If you watch the tv news on n channel 13 there is a lot of difference in the app forecast and what the actual on air person forecasts. Seems like someone or something would cross check the difference.

### 5/5 — WBTW Weather Rocks!!!!!

*2023-07-17, version 50.8.502*

I enjoyed the WBTW Storm Tracker 13 Weather app and it was amazing.
I like Vipir 13 Real Time Radar and the Meteorologists are
Frank Johnson and James Hopkins.
I love the weather in the Grand Strand.

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2022-04-07, version 5.4.949*

This is a MUST have weather app. It not only covers S.C. Weather  but it covers weather all around the USA. The interface is very easy to read and very user friendly. The forecasts are very accurate. The weather radar is also a very easy to read and use.  You can track almost any kind of weather with this app whether it is tsunamis to tropics. The radar allows multiple overlays like  precipitation, wind, tropical storms, current temperature and even earth quakes. It even alerts you pending Hazardous weather for your current location using notifications. I look at the weather every day and this is my turn to weather app. Yes it has adds but the adds are not intrusive like the weather channel app.once. This is totally a FREE app. No signing up for subscibsions. Unlike other weather apps I’ve used you aren’t asked to pay real money to use this apps features and this app has all the features you need in a daily life.

### 4/5 — Great weather app, but missing a few things

*2022-03-08, version 5.4.949*

This weather app is accurate and really cool! The one similar to this one was really good too but it was black and white which I did not like. At least this one has color. It would be cool to have a live background for the current weather, that would make me like it even more. I’d give this app a 5 star rating, but the reason why I did not was because they don’t have precipitation and lightning notifications with sounds. The other app similar to this one did. If the producers created a live background and put in precipitation and lightning notifications with sounds, this would be the app that I’d recommend to all my family and friends!!

### 5/5 — WBTW Weather Rocks!!!!!

*2022-01-28, version 5.4.200*

I enjoyed the WBTW Storm Tracker 13 Weather app
and it was amazing.

### 3/5 — Radar

*2021-07-29, version 5.3.901*

The radar should start from now and go for future instead of in past until now.

### 3/5 — Storm tracker

*2021-07-05, version 40.35.470055273*

I like the old version better

### 5/5 — Weather

*2021-02-02, version 40.35.470055273*

Love me some TV13
