⭐️⭐️⭐️

I hate how adds just pop in your face. It also has a premium so then you can’t see things that you want to see. But they have free trials and their weather predictions are pretty good. For the most part I like this app!

Buena aplicación

Nice

The best

Can really count on them for my next day of work

This app use to be great

This app use to be great, now I constantly have to remove it and download it again if I want current radar.

keeps placing me to another location even with that shut off and pre set.

i keep being reset to dunwoody GA im not even in that state. i shut location services off ive preset my location and i expect it to stay there but still it reverts back to only that location and i dont use a vpn. its very stressful to constantly have to exit out of the app after opening it just to correct the location. stay where i put you or be removed. its been doing this for about 2 months now and through multiple updates.

Terribly accurate now

This app used to be my go to to check the weather. But over the past year, it has become terribly inaccurate. Either showing no rain in the area while there’s a downpour happening at my house. Or telling me that rain is imminent, but no rain appears. I cannot rely on the app

Radar change

Recent update has washed out daytime radar display so badly, you cannot clearly see the underlying map. This feature is the main reason I use the app. Fix it!!!!

Buggs

Takes forever to load

This app went from #1 to -100 I can’t even write a review. 1 of 4 major malfunctions!

This app went from #1 to -100 (negative 100). I couldn’t even write a review. You can’t scroll up & down on a page. You can’t scroll left or right on a page. And, there’s no way to report these malfunctions! They’ve been happening for about 6 weeks. Now, I’m going to find an app that works. Bye-bye!!

Weather Channel App is Very Helpful

This WC app is very helpful by giving you reasonable suggestions for when weather events will happen. Love the radar! Seems very accurate.

Stick to weather

When you try and score points for AGW you lose credibility because that’s so clearly a left wing idea that man alters its environment that much. IF we did alter it that much, there would be runaway warming, but the observations don’t match the theory predictions. Plain and simple. Give up your commie socialist ideas because they are utterly broken

Worse than useless in extreme weather

What idiot decided to have the radar lag by 15 minutes??? How does that help anyone in a severe weather situation??? I can’t trust this app to tell me anything useful about dangerous conditions that are almost on top of me, so what good is it??? This app used to be decent but it’s a worthless waste of space now. I can’t believe anyone pays them to use it, or is that what unlocks timely radar? Bad information is worse than no information. This app is the worst on the market.

The best of the 90s

Takes you bake to a simpler, better time. Just saying.

Radar map greyed out

On the light theme, the map is greyed out, locations are hard to read, not enough contrast. The 2 other themes aren’t much better. You changed something in the last update, please change it back!

Good

Good

Good App to many Ads

Good app and pretty spot on for the weather. Videos unfortunately have an add after every single one. Kind of a pain if you’re trying to see reporting during a crisis!

Would recommend weather bug

Honestly this is one of the most inaccurate weather apps I’ve used. Only time it’s been correct is when there’s been a hurricane and they know it’s going to rain “some time within the next week”

Great

Greatl easy to use app very accurate love the radar and lightning detection

Terrible

This app is loaded with ads and crashes at least 3-4 times every time i try to use it.

Great but widget needs help

Love everything but the widget. The current temp is so tiny and the same font as everything else - defeats the purpose of having the widget on my Home Screen. I just want to see the temp at a glance. At least AccuWeather (and every other weather app) has a larger bold temp display.

Sounds petty but soooooooo annoying. No settings can change this. I’ve tried.
