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😁😊👍 ### 2/5 — Lots of insane clickbait ads. *2025-12-25, version 5.17.801* Works ok, not very up to date or accurate. Insane clickbait spam ads all over the place, weird stuff too. ### 4/5 — App works well, but more customization would be nice *2025-11-24, version 5.17.801* I like this app, but it’s missing a few things that keep it from 5 stars: - It’d be cool if I could change the order of the widgets on the app’s Home page. Personally, I’d like the current temperature widget at the very top, followed by the radar and hour-by-hour, then the headlines, etc. - It’d earn a 10/10 from me if it had a Widget I could add to my iPhone’s home page, the way I can with the iPhone’s default “Weather” app. It’d be super handy for quickly checking the current and hour-by-hour temperature, and, for my money, it’s far and away the biggest feature missing from the app. All that aside, it’s still a great app. It very rarely crashes, and, aside from some organizational issues that could easily be chalked up to taste, it’s very solid all around. ### 2/5 — 2year review *2025-09-26, version 5.17.706* Over all ok 4 out of 10 the load times between selected data very slow, notification is very delayed almost 15 minutes behind actual weather conditions almost every alert comes 15 minutes after the weather has passed or ended this app has great potential but with current lag time it's not useful for monitoring incoming weather ### 4/5 — Fi gfu go *2025-09-20, version 5.17.706* G guy ### 2/5 — Buggy *2025-08-13, version 5.17.706* App frequently crashes and freezes its okay when it works right ### 4/5 — Crashing when I click Daily *2025-08-06, version 5.17.706* It’s a great app but crashing when I click some items, like to see Daily Weather. ### 3/5 — no windspeed on radar, no tornados on the radar *2025-07-10, version 5.17.509* i would like to use the live radar for wind and tornado tracking instead of only using the weather radio and live video because when the internet is down i cannot stream the videos and if my radio is not with me i need to be able to monitor the tornados with a chart at least. i appreciate the banner notifications, but a chart would help me know general location or the tornados which is a lot more specific than a banner notification. Thanks for the app! ### 2/5 — So Many Ads *2025-04-04, version 5.17.509* So many ads that it practically makes the app unusable. You’ll get a notification for a first alert weather warning and it’ll take you to a video that you can’t see because an ad has to load first. App user interface is junky with ads placed in every crevice they can making important information hard to find. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 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. ### 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?? ### 1/5 — Weather Forecast *2025-11-07, version 5.17.801* It’s A Hit or Miss Honestly… I have to look at 3 different apps n they’re ALWAYS different…. Wish I could get paid to be right about my job 30% of the time… ### 1/5 — Radar is not accurate *2025-08-20, version 5.17.706* What is wrong with the radar on this app it is not accurate at all ### 1/5 — Sucking *2025-07-01, version 5.17.509* App is terrible on iPhone. So many issues. ### 1/5 — This app has changed into a full news app *2025-04-05, version 5.17.509* I can’t add locations of family or friends and get a complete weather report coming into our area. Active weather as in the 48 weather app was slow and inaccurate. It was stalling so I deleted it and installed it again through Apps. It’s not working like it used to either. I’m deleting it and using a local station that gives me accurate weather only information. ### 1/5 — Bad app *2025-04-04, version 5.17.509* Too many commercials and trash -almost impossible to use. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Informative weather forecast *2026-04-22, version 6.1.601* Great ### 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 ### 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. ### 5/5 — Bug *2026-01-09, version 6.1.302* There’s a new bug on most recent update all the overlay cones are underneath the rain and you can’t see where they are, this can pose to be a real danger to someone in a tornado warning open there app and can’t see any cone or have any idea where it’s coming from or anything please fix. ### 5/5 — Best thing in apps *2025-11-30, version 5.17.801* It tells the weather and warns you if there’s bad weather I love it ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-10-29, version 5.17.801* Yall always get the weather right and that is amazing!!!! ### 5/5 — Right on time *2025-07-19, version 5.17.509* It’s very handy and accurate ### 5/5 — Weather Alert *2025-04-14, version 5.17.509* I really appreciate all those involved in keeping me aware of the changing weather conditions. It is very important to know what’s going on around you as you start and end your daily routine.Thank you all so very much for the information you provide to help keep us safe. ### 5/5 — Good station *2025-04-10, version 5.17.509* I like the news and weather ### 5/5 — Good Weather App *2025-04-01, version 5.17.509* This app is good for tracking the weather near you, I like how it has a live radar during storms or bad weather. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
