### 2/5 — No radar

*2026-07-16, version 6.2.512*

Radar doesn’t work. Just a white background

### 2/5 — Horrible Update

*2026-03-12, version 6.1.601*

Don’t like the latest update. Don’t like the radar color and layout, but most importantly the radar is very much delayed! Yes my app is up to date. It’s just not been good since the last update. Also it’s too fast when showing the last 24 hour radar..it goes into repeat automatically and does not even give me time to look at the details. Also, when the app is closed and reopened at another time, the radar opens up zoomed way out across 4-5 states and I have to zoom in to my area every single time. Please fix this to leave it where it was when it was closed. I’m very disappointed with the new update. The older one was way better and more viewer friendly.

### 5/5 — Great app but need more Radars besides the Americus one

*2025-10-09, version 5.17.711*

I love the app but please add more radars besides the Americus one add for an example the Warner Robins one and the Tallahassee one or all of the radars. No this is not an complaint comment just please add all the radars besides the Americus one in the next update for the app. Shout out to Chris Zelman in the weather team.

### 5/5 — Info

*2025-09-24, version 5.17.711*

Great job  on the weather

### 5/5 — Is going starting quitting raining raining tonight tomorrow morning and then coming home tomorrow

*2025-09-04, version 5.17.711*

I think going tomorrow weather such east  Tn have such good weather inside good normal in the morning

### 1/5 — Weather is never accurate

*2025-07-24, version 5.17.511*

When your app says its going to rain there is never a cloud in the sky and when they say’s it’s going to be sunny there is always a thunderstorm. Your temperature is also always way lower than what it actually is and feels. I.e. your app is far more inaccurate than it is accurate from my own and other people i know’s experience

### 5/5 — Channel 10 WALB best weather coverage ever
