New clips from today’s newscast are not always posted on time, and videos from one or two days ago often remain in place instead. Today I opened the app to watch the current weather video, but as usual it was still showing the one from two days prior. Consistent daily uploads would make this feature reliable and worth using. ### 2/5 — The new map is bad *2026-04-15, version 6.1.601* Don’t care about 200 miles away ### 3/5 — Map update not usable *2026-03-11, version 6.1.601* This last map update is a real pain. I like the options but you took away the past running into the future option. Then fact that I have to toggled between past and future males the app cumbersome. I will just go use the wcmh app for maps...sad. ### 3/5 — Latest Update *2026-03-04, version 6.1.401* The latest update ruined the radar functionality of the app. It’s too fast and not up to the minute like it used to be. ### 2/5 — It’s OK *2026-03-01, version 6.1.401* This app has the potential to be the best app ever. But since the new update, your alerts are mammal, and the overlays are extra steps and prompts to get to. Everything is labeled under one prompt so you have to click multiple to see one alert. It is not user-friendly anymore. I’ll 60% accurate especially 24 hours forecast. There are free apps out there however this is not bad itself, but they’re definitely it’s better ### 4/5 — Widgets *2025-10-18, version 5.17.706* Would like to see widgets available. Also, pollen and air quality information would be great as well. Overall, pretty accurate so far. ### 2/5 — Dew point *2024-07-04, version 5.15.406* Please show dew point. It was on earlier version! ### 3/5 — Radar stop showing past *2024-03-15, version 5.12.702* Not sure what happened to the app but Radar only shows Now to Future, no past. Can’t be changed. Tried to follow instructions but it doesn’t work. Please fix it! Also tried to get APP support but the link does nothing. ### 3/5 — It’s ok *2023-10-20, version 5.11.502* Current conditions and radar are goodish. Forecasts change more than the weather (what weather app doesn’t?) Don’t expect a forecast video. If it’s even there, it might be yesterday’s video, definitely not from the last newscast. ### 4/5 — Showing rain *2023-07-21, version 5.10.500* Often I can see the storms approaching my area but the last few times it has been just pouring rain on us and the map shows all clear ### 2/5 — Not accurate! *2023-07-02, version 5.10.500* The app is very easy to use, but is rarely correct. ### 2/5 — Map hardly ever works anymore *2023-06-26, version 5.10.401* I used to love this app but the radar hardly works ### 3/5 — App Needs Help *2023-06-24, version 5.10.401* The app doesn’t work as it is supposed to. The updates keep messing it up as well. Then there’s the issue of not mirroring Ch 6/28’ weather which it is supposed to do.. Get it right or get rid of it.. period!!!!! ### 4/5 — Live weather broadcast *2023-06-22, version 5.10.401* Miss the taped live broadcasts that use to be on. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not accurate *2026-06-09, version 6.2.512* Told me every other day I was getting “heavy thunderstorms”, for a week. Never got any rain at all during that time period. ### 1/5 — Finally a decent weather app, but… *2025-05-01, version 5.17.612* Update: app is still terribly slow. The play buttons are way too small. To make things worse the weather predictions are worthless. This app is very well written and organized towards a users wants and needs. My only complaints: it is extremely slow to open and the flashing ad at the bottom resembling an alert is in very poor taste. Ads like this using trickery are very annoying and a waste of users time. ### 1/5 — Please acknowledge the Gulf of America *2025-04-05, version 5.17.508* I like this app but getting political is just wrong for a weather station. I am uninstalling this app. Buh bye liberals ### 1/5 — Incredible delays *2025-01-17, version 5.17.508* 12-24 hrs delays in seeing forecasts. What is going on? G ### 1/5 — Unreliable *2023-07-09, version 5.10.500* Takes too long to boot up. Frequently unavailable which is exactly what you don’t want in a weather app. ### 1/5 — Last update makes the radar extremely inaccurate *2023-07-03, version 5.10.500* Ever since you did the last update the app is extremely inaccurate. It use to be spot on. Maybe go back to the old program because current model blows. I’ve actually downloaded a different weather app. ### 1/5 — I’m disappointed. *2022-11-11, version 5.6.510* When I first got the app a couple years ago, it was great. But now the radar is aggravating. If I close the app for 5 seconds then go back in, all of the things I set up are undone. Storm tracks, area specific alerts. All undone. The flashy add are annoying as well. A lot of things need fixed, properly and immediately. I am looking for a new weather due to these issues. Good job OHIOWX app makers. You ruined it. ### 1/5 — Interactive map not working *2021-03-11, version 5.1.602* Not working on ipad ### 1/5 — Unable to open wx app *2020-01-10, version 4.10.2100* Why doesn’t it open anymore? ### 1/5 — Good idea, bad execution *2020-01-01, version 4.10.2100* I like the layout of the app. However, I have installed it twice now(Dec 2019) and after a couple days of use, it freezes on the splash screen and never opens. So needless to say it’s useless if it won’t even open. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Radar is fast! **Updated: but that’s ok… *2026-02-20, version 6.1.401* I’ve been using this app for many years and I really like it. I just came here to say I’m not a fan of some things with the latest upgrade, particularly the radar - it’s so fast I can’t hardly see what’s going on and I’m not fast enough to pause it at the most recent time. Can you slow it down a little? UPDATE: I figured out I can pause it and drag the timeline around, so I gave you 5 stars! Love it ❤️ ### 5/5 — Great help! *2025-03-02, version 5.17.508* Helps us plan for what’s happening in our area & wherever we’re heading. ### 5/5 — Outstanding Weather App! *2025-02-11, version 5.17.508* This is the best weather app we have ever used. It is comprehensive yet simple and better than all the others. Love it! ### 5/5 — Informative *2024-05-24, version 5.13.1000* I love being on alert with inclement weather. I’m always the one telling daily and friends to look out for inclement weather. And this app helps me do that in real time. I love it!!! ### 5/5 — Information *2024-04-27, version 5.13.1000* I check weather almost every day….sometimes several times a day. . I get quick and accurate information immediately. Thanks ! ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-04-11, version 5.13.1000* It has been great warning me of inclement weather conditions wherever I am at. Highly recommend ### 5/5 — Weather *2023-10-27, version 5.11.502* MARSHALLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!! ### 5/5 — John R *2023-07-01, version 5.10.500* User friendly.

I would recommend this app to anyone and will continue using it every day. Thanks for doing such a Great Job!!!! ### 5/5 — Weather on the go! *2023-06-19, version 5.10.401* Can’t be sitting in front of the tv at home to see the weather at designated times but can quickly see what’s happening in real time and what to expect. Easy to use and it’s right on the forecast and can see the weather to help keep me updated. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
