### 1/5 — What Happened?

*2026-08-10, version 6.2.512*

I’ve used this app for years and I’m finally throwing in the towel. The app is literally the worst of all options now.

### 3/5 — Forecast Post Glitch

*2026-07-23, version 6.2.512*

Is there something wrong with the app? I hear sound on the commercials just fine but half the forecast videos have no sound.

### 4/5 — Y i tink dis is fou sta

*2026-05-27, version 6.1.601*

This is great and all  but it is sometimes not accurate like abt 5% of the time.This app is  helpful and tells me what and when the climate and weather will be for the next two weeks. 

     To improve da app it should show you a radar of when a cold front or when a warm front will come in a few days ahead to let everyone know and to be aware.



     Thxxxx😁😊👍

### 1/5 — Crazy

*2026-04-28, version 6.1.601*

The adds are ridiculous

### 1/5 — Constantly crashing

*2026-04-25, version 6.1.601*

I was surprised by all the good reviews. I’ve not had a good experience on this app in years. It constantly crashes. You can’t watch a video and then select back, and do anything else. It won’t preform any other functions. It’s all around not user friendly.

### 5/5 — Informative weather forecast

*2026-04-22, version 6.1.601*

Great

### 1/5 — STAY AWAY

*2026-04-16, version 6.1.601*

Just like their other app, this is an awful app. Half the links don't work, and they're going to shove ads in your face. They're paying for these reviews. There's NO WAY this many people have given them that many good reviews. 

I will stick with the YouTube meteorologist.  They give me warnings minutes sooner than the news and sirens.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-02-23, version 6.1.302*

This app has never lied to me and it’s so accurate and never have a problem opening the app no matter where I am

### 1/5 — Not working

*2026-02-21, version 6.1.302*

No matter how many times I delete and reinstall the weather app it will not let me turn on the weather notifications??

### 5/5 — Weather

*2026-01-21, version 6.1.302*

Always keeping us informed and dedicated to providing us with as accurate as possible weather. My go to news and weather station. Thanks everyone.
