The forecast changes drastically buried times a day as if it was only guessing at what might actually happen. It’s currently show thunderstorms and lightning over my location but it’s sunny and blue skies all the way. ### 4/5 — Stormy Weather *2026-06-22, version 6.2.512* The radar maps are detailed and are helpful, especially when they’re tracking nearby storms. ### 3/5 — Can’t click Title on newer IPhone but this is a Weather option. Please give us an hour by hour *2026-06-17, version 6.2.512* Necessity over Us and Western Wi ### 3/5 — Daily *2026-06-12, version 6.2.512* Great crew/staff. Report wrong! Suggest you review your earlier forecasts Not even close ### 4/5 — Recent Update Not Good *2026-02-21, version 6.1.401* I have always loved this app, but the recent update has made it less lovable. There is extra clutter on the screen, and if I switch to a different view the app no longer remembers my custom settings and I have to select my custom map again. Surely you could have added the 24 hour future radar without our having to save and select our “custom map.” I liked it much better when it just saved my last selections automatically. Also, the earthquake feature now seems to only show very recent earthquakes instead of showing those from the past 24 hours, and when I tap on an earthquake icon to get more information it no longer tells the location. I wish you would do a new update that starts with the previous version and just adds the “24 hour future” radar. If you can’t do that, just give us the previous version the way it used to be, with the full earthquake information and without all the current clutter. ### 3/5 — Cleveland Ohio *2025-01-04, version 5.17.508* I recommend this app to anyone I meet. I’ve lived all over the U.S. and this app has been to most accurate out of any other app I’ve used. However, whoever is in charge of the Cleveland Ohio area needs to be replaced. Any times there’s snow I only get “less than 1 inch” or “__% chance of snow”. Well, the “less and 1 inch” we were supposed to get yesterday turned out to actually be 10-12 inch. Now, I know meteorologists can be wrong all the time, except our local channels have been predicting the weather pretty accurately. The channel I’ve been checking in with said this storm was supposed to be 6-8 inches. Still less than we got, but 6-8 inches is something to prepare for unlike less than 1 inch. Unfortunately I’ll be looking for a new app to trust with my weather predicting needs while I’m here in Ohio. ### 3/5 — 👍 *2024-10-31, version 5.16.1703* It’s alright and ok. ### 5/5 — Best *2024-10-31, version 5.16.1703* Best weather app, you can have on your phone use it everyday. ### 5/5 — It is the best *2024-09-29, version 5.15.409* It is the only weather app I can trust and my friends and family have . ### 5/5 — Best I have ever used! *2024-09-26, version 5.15.409* Super easy to navigate. Best and most accurate weather app I’ve tried. ### 5/5 — Bad weather update *2024-08-22, version 5.15.409* I am Very impressed with this website! I especially special bad weather coming updates!!! Helps Me plan My activities!!!! ### 4/5 — Hard to read, too many ads *2024-08-10, version 5.15.409* The only reason I go to this weather app is to look at the radar the local radar. There are too many pop-up ads, and the rest is too hard to read into navigate through. ### 5/5 — Weather *2024-07-24, version 5.15.409* I love Bree & she is so funny. Just had the best weather even if it is raining. Wish your station would stay on the air. I have to watch on Roku station & y’all just do not stay on. I really count on the weather app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Alarmist much *2026-06-16, version 6.2.512* There is no app support it takes you to somewhere where it wants you to Sign up. There’s no one to talk to no one to report to. I’m tired of these notifications where it says heavy thunderstorm or whatever is headed your way. And then you actually go to the app and there is no such thing happening. I don’t need you telling me lies quit sending alarmist notifications when they aren’t real and do not apply to my area. Yes, I do have my area set. Why don’t you actually make a way where you could actually reach to and talk to someone or text someone in support? ### 1/5 — App crashes *2026-05-29, version 6.1.401* After the last update, radar no longer updates. If you try and move the time slider, the app crashes. ### 1/5 — Disgusting *2026-01-30, version 6.1.401* Fix the stupid update now. I'm sick of it. Hate the white at the bottom, and hate how it won't go wide view. ### 1/5 — Never connects *2025-08-22, version 5.17.706* This app doesn’t seem to connect with my WiFi and everything thing else is. Crazy ### 1/5 — No alert for tornadoes *2025-05-29, version 5.17.614* I depend on the app for alerts. I have never had a problem. Except for today. Henry county had tornadoes all over touching down not one alert on my phone. I will pick another app to download. ### 1/5 — Low sound *2025-05-03, version 5.17.612* I would like for it to be louder and repeat 3-4 times! ### 1/5 — Problem *2024-12-30* I tried to report to support but you’re made that difficult to get to so, I have a picture of my map Ava over the last few days the whole screen is green as though it’s raining everywhere. Used to be the only green where it was raining. The only way I can tell if it’s going to rain is to go to hourly, but I can’t see the future or any of that because of this issue. ### 1/5 — Meh *2024-06-22, version 5.15.402* Not very accurate ### 1/5 — Radar *2023-08-28, version 5.10.500* Storm tracker used to be wonderful, now the radar never works, just sits there and then suddenly flies across and goes away ### 1/5 — Radar inaccurate *2023-08-12, version 5.10.500* So it’s raining, not drizzle, at my location and the app radar shows no rain… not the first time either …. AccuWeather shows it the though ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The Best *2026-07-21, version 6.2.512* Love the app; I always know what’s coming and it’s accurate! Love the weather TEAM. Thank you ### 5/5 — Perfect *2025-07-16, version 5.17.614* My go to weather app ### 5/5 — sub to my youtube *2025-07-15, version 5.17.614* best local weather app and it’s free! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2025-06-26, version 5.17.614* This is my only weather app I have and I have it on 3 devices the storm alerts are top notch and to think I can get regular heads up on tomorrow’s weather today the storm tracking system is exceptional along with the accuracy I would recommend this app to anyone who wants to know about the current and future weather conditions. Thank you to the developers for making a weather app that does what it was made to do… ### 5/5 — Love it *2025-06-12, version 5.17.614* I had to stop and give 5 stars and a review something i hardly ever do, I'm always looking at the radar app when it rains. It never gives me no problems, plus lets me know when storm's are coming. ### 5/5 — Charles reed *2025-05-22, version 5.17.614* Great station ### 5/5 — Best weather channel *2025-04-03, version 5.17.508* Great weather persons ### 5/5 — Weather *2025-03-10, version 5.17.508* Great weather tracker!
