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!! ### 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 ### 4/5 — Storm Tracker 23 *2020-10-16, version 40.35.470055273* I love James Hopkins forecasting style. He is very focused and precise. I do wish this app contained severe weather forecasting as needed and not just alerts. ### 5/5 — Dress for the day *2019-03-29, version 40.30.410039758* I get my direction for dress by my weather flashes.. “channel 13 sets the pace for my dress” stay tuned!!! ### 5/5 — Weather *2018-07-12, version 40.30.410039758* The best ever. ### 5/5 — The new app *2018-02-06, version 14.24.00031597* Liked the old app much, much better. It had a lot more useful information on it. Could check hour by hour rainfall, temperatures. This app is lacking a lot of useful information !! Please take a step BACK!!! ### 2/5 — I agree: don’t fix what isn’t broken. *2018-01-24, version 14.24.00031597* I really liked the old app. The latest weather report is the only one actually needed. I see no need for older reports. I lost all my locations and can no longer pinpoint my exact location. But I miss the hourly forecast most of all. It helped me plan the time of day I prefer to get out if necessary. The old app was a five-star. This one is not. Sorry. ### 5/5 — Weather *2016-01-15, version 3.9.1001* How do you delete old weather alerts on a iPad? ### 5/5 — I Love it like mckenzie! *2012-07-27, version 2.0.7* This app rocks like ozzie osbourne baby! I use it every day like my toothbrush! I love francie and her hot little dresses! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t change something that is just fine *2018-02-01, version 14.24.00031597* I don’t like the new way that this app looks. It looks cheap and I can’t even see the daily forecast for my location. It was great before this new update. CHANGE IT BACK!!! ### 1/5 — Useless *2018-01-27, version 14.24.00031597* The old app was the only one I used to check the weather it was perfect, on the other hand the new app doesn’t work for me, I had to find a BETTER app to check my local weather. ### 1/5 — Bring back the old app. *2018-01-26, version 14.24.00031597* This new app is horrible. ### 1/5 — Bring back the old app *2018-01-23, version 14.24.00031597* Why mess with a good thing, this new app is horrible. ### 1/5 — Don't fix what isn't broken. *2018-01-16, version 14.24.00031597* I understand trying to provide more options for weather related news, but the new version is terrible. It's much slower to load and more difficult to navigate. The original version was also more accurate for location. Now I have to go by weather for a town that's 10 miles away. ### 1/5 — Broken *2014-04-06, version 2.7.11* Downloaded latest update and now app will not open. Deleted and reloaded same thing. Please fix ### 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. ### 2/5 — What happened to your app *2020-04-13, version 40.35.290053017* Now the seven day does not work at all. Go back to what was working ### 2/5 — App changes *2018-01-29, version 14.24.00031597* I liked the old app better. Less problems moving from city to city changes. It was easier to review the weekly details than the new app. Not interested in all the maps in the new app, what was in the old app I could use and that was all I needed. ### 2/5 — Update. *2018-01-29, version 14.24.00031597* It was great but I do not like the recent up date. I want my weather to come right up. Don’t want all the videos and such. Why did you change a good thing????? Changing to another. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 5/5 — Weather *2021-02-02, version 40.35.470055273* Love me some TV13 ### 5/5 — Koool *2020-09-17, version 40.35.470055273* Great updates on weather ### 5/5 — Weather forecast *2020-02-24, version 40.35.220051914* Always right on, weather you can count on. ### 5/5 — Weather *2019-11-07, version 40.34.260049981* Thank you so much for sending the daily Weather reports!

They give details, are specific and great graphics. ### 5/5 — Feeling sad! *2019-07-11, version 40.33.400045047* This was my favorite station for news and weather.
