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! ### 2/5 — Terribly accurate now *2026-08-23, version 16.20* 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 ### 2/5 — Radar change *2026-08-23, version 16.20* 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!!!! ### 4/5 — Radar map greyed out *2026-08-22, version 16.20* 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! ### 3/5 — Good App to many Ads *2026-08-22, version 16.20* 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! ### 2/5 — Would recommend weather bug *2026-08-22, version 16.20* 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” ### 4/5 — Great but widget needs help *2026-08-22, version 16.20* 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. ### 5/5 — Great App! *2026-08-22, version 16.20* This is an amazing app and is almost spot on ### 5/5 — W app *2026-08-22, version 16.20* Dis Is duh bes app Eber it is duh gote ### 2/5 — Please fix radar *2026-08-22, version 16.20* For whatever reason since the last update, hurricanes no longer show a projected track, which was the main reason I use this app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Buena aplicación *2026-08-24, version 16.20* Nice ### 1/5 — This app use to be great *2026-08-23, version 16.20* This app use to be great, now I constantly have to remove it and download it again if I want current radar. ### 1/5 — keeps placing me to another location even with that shut off and pre set. *2026-08-23, version 16.20* 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. ### 1/5 — Buggs *2026-08-23, version 16.20* Takes forever to load ### 1/5 — This app went from 1 to -100 I can’t even write a review. 1 of 4 major malfunctions! *2026-08-23, version 16.20* 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!! ### 1/5 — Worse than useless in extreme weather *2026-08-22, version 16.20* 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. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-08-22, version 16.20* This app is loaded with ads and crashes at least 3-4 times every time i try to use it. ### 1/5 — Changes!! *2026-08-22, version 16.20* They change everything so much you had a feature then the next day you have create an account to put back what was already there! Weather should just be available without the hassle. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2026-08-22, version 16.20* Anything you need to see, paywall. A paywall to know the weather. Lol. This society is cooked. ### 1/5 — keeps getting worse *2026-08-22, version 16.20* god. i have been using this app for so long. and now it cuts my music out when i open it, home page tells me 70% chance of rain but hourly weather says 10%, it doesn’t even load the radar, and the weather channel is forcing an EXPLORE TAB on me???? sorry but i am gone. this app has gone to hell. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The best *2026-08-24, version 16.20* Can really count on them for my next day of work ### 5/5 — Weather Channel App is Very Helpful *2026-08-23, version 16.20* This WC app is very helpful by giving you reasonable suggestions for when weather events will happen. Love the radar! Seems very accurate. ### 5/5 — Stick to weather *2026-08-23, version 16.20* 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 ### 5/5 — The best of the 90s *2026-08-22, version 16.20* Takes you bake to a simpler, better time. Just saying. ### 5/5 — Good *2026-08-22, version 16.20* Good ### 5/5 — Great *2026-08-22, version 16.20* Greatl easy to use app very accurate love the radar and lightning detection ### 5/5 — Easy to understand *2026-08-22, version 16.20* It’s a great app to help plan your day ### 5/5 — LOVE the Retro Feel *2026-08-22, version 16.20* I’m so happy with the retro feel to the app and the beautiful jazz in the background. ### 5/5 — The retro option *2026-08-22, version 16.20* I love the retro option on the app!!!!! It’s amazing I get all the information I want and need and the Muzak and retro design are very relaxing and remind me of a better and simpler time. Thank you for making this option!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ because five stars isn’t enough. ### 5/5 — Great forcast *2026-08-22, version 16.20* It seems like this forecast is more accurate than any other one for our area. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
