It used to work promptly, but it is super slow and will sometimes crash. Please improve the experience and speed of it. ### 1/5 — App crash *2017-04-03, version 4.5.100* I have a I phone 5S I have iOS 10.2.1 just updated the app and it crashes upon starting ### 1/5 — App went down the tubes *2017-04-02, version 4.5.100* New maybe, but NOT improved. I kept this app for local weather because it was the best and most accurate. Now it is slow, non-responsive, ad ridden and worthless if I can't get the radar maps to come up! There's a huge storm moving in and I can't get the maps to respond. My best weather indicator is to look out my window!! Worthless now. Deleting. ### 1/5 — What have you done????? *2017-04-02, version 4.5.100* I'm with the other 1%, the app was great, now it hangs, has useless ads and banners. Adios wbrz ### 1/5 — Had to delete *2017-04-02, version 4.5.100* After this last update, it won't open. Map is too small. ### 1/5 — Won't open *2017-04-02, version 4.5.100* App will not open after update! Please fix! ### 1/5 — Zero stars *2017-04-02, version 4.5.100* This app has never worked. I never use it. Even when it upgrades and I try it again, it still doesn't work. I'm not even sure why I have it on my phone. ### 1/5 — Won't open *2017-04-01, version 4.5.100* I can't open it after the update. ### 1/5 — You killed your app. *2017-04-01, version 4.5.100* Why did you change your? It was working great until the new version came out a few weeks ago. The new version makes the map so small because of all the banners. Then the update that came out this week has killed the app. Had to delete and reinstall to even get it to open. But still is very buggy. ### 1/5 — Update eliminates single page usability *2017-03-29, version 4.4.802* Before this update you could see radar, 7 day forecast and current conditions on the main page. Now each item is spread onto their own pages that require scrolling. Do not upgrade. ### 1/5 — Can't keep open *2013-03-23, version 2.5* Crashes way to often ### 2/5 — WHAT is this junk? *2011-05-29, version 1.6* This is the worst weather app. It's revolting to look at from the start, and it doesn't even give you rain chance percentages on the "10 day" forecast screen. I'll stick to The Weather Channel until this app gets it's stuff together. ### 2/5 — Lacking *2010-12-20, version 1.4* What's the point of having a weather app if you don't push alerts to peoples phones? (tornado warnings, storm watch, etc...). ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — ABC Affiliate *2025-09-18, version 5.17.710* I don’t support businesses which kowtow to fascists. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2024-04-27, version 5.13.1002* App is constantly posting notifications and there Is no granularity of control. You either get all the notifications or none. There is no way to select only critical weather event notifications. Uninstalled after a week because of all of the stupid useless notifications. Should be zero stars. ### 1/5 — Always wrong *2021-01-27, version 5.1.601* Tried so hard to use this weather app but the inaccuracy makes the weather channel look a whole lot more accurate! Horrible! Terrible! Very...Very...Very....Very consistent at being WRONG! Every day! ### 1/5 — New version caused me to upgrade *2020-01-22, version 4.10.2100* I had a series of locations in the old version. After the launch I could not get the app to work. I got the new version and now cannot move the map to locate a specific location. Thankfully I have WAFB’s app also ### 1/5 — 5-2019 *2019-05-14, version 4.8.600* What an Ugly “Privacy” Policy. Bye 6-23-18 LOVE THIS APP. I haven’t updated the newest version from 3 days ago yet, but this is a Great App. What I Love: 1. NO PRIVACY POLICY, THANK YOU ❤️! I am so sick of Nosey, Invasive Apps and am Deleting those that are Invading My Privacy. ***(Please read ALL your apps privacy policies. Who wants an app watching where you go and what you do just because you have their app? Still feel comfortable opening your BANKING APP? Logging into your BANKING ACCOUNT ONLINE? Having them Collect your SOCIAL SECURITY #, Checking your CREDIT REPORT?, PHONE #, YOUR HOME ADDRESS? WHERE YOU ARE SITTING IN YOUR HOME at that moment? And on and on and on. To Me, This Amounts to STALKING. Only We Can Make This STOP).*** YES, apps you’d never imagine were doing this ARE doing this. 2. I can have several Locations set and switch between them easily. (Great to keep up with bad weather where my loved ones are). 3. I can not only choose the notifications I Want to receive, but I can be Audibly Notified for one or all of them 😊. Thank you for this app. Apps with Privacy Policies, I am not even bothering to read them anymore, and Definitely Not Downloading their app for free or paid. I feel better now and will keep adding my Rant of Disgust on each app I rate in the future. ### 1/5 — Bad update *2019-05-09, version 4.8.202* I don’t like this updated newer version. The old one looked just like WBRZ’s Doppler radar and all the zone watches and warnings and lightning strikes appeared automatically. Now I cannot get it to show or it is no longer a feature... also dark and light maps are ugly and again do not look like the news station’s Doppler. Please bring the old one back! ### 1/5 — App disappoints *2019-04-25, version 4.8.202* This app has not been working properly of late. Gives message that no network connection exists when there is one. Has to be deleted and downloaded again to access. Been using other weather apps more often when this used to be one I would go to. ### 1/5 — The latest update ruined this app *2019-01-01, version 4.7.800* The map used to load reasonably fast, but now it is PAINFULLY slow and sometimes non responsive. I also like the earthquake symbols as they showed up better. This app is nothing like it used to be. ### 1/5 — Incredibly Inaccurate *2018-09-27, version 4.6.2103* This team of meteorologists is only useful if you understand that they do not know when or where it will rain, nor when the temperature will change. Only then can you look at their weather prediction and say, “I see; this will not happen.” The app is ugly, full of ads, and takes forever to load each time it is opened. Do not waste your time unless you wish to know what the weather in Baton Rouge will not be doing in the near future. ### 1/5 — Unreliable *2018-08-10, version 4.6.2103* The actual info in this app is generally useful and comprehensive, but at best it's cluttered by ads and banners, at worst I can't even get it to open past the home screen. WBRZ, tell me you're working to improve this. Don't you pride yourselves on being a reliable source of information? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Completely useless *2025-07-18, version 5.17.614* Wish I could have a job where I would still get paid for being so incompetent!!! ### 5/5 — Dependable app *2019-07-14, version 4.8.901* I have used this app for years and it has always been very dependable with alert notifications during storms, as well as daily forecasts. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Great weather app! *2011-08-14, version 1.9* Very accurate! Like having channel 18 in your pocket! It works perfect! ### 5/5 — Great app! *2011-08-04, version 1.8* Very fast loading and all the info I need and want. And it does show rain chance% on forecast just tap on the day. ### 5/5 — Still the best *2010-08-24, version 0*  ### 5/5 — Very very good!!! *2010-08-03, version 0* Just got this app. Love it. Radar is very very detailed and loads fast. Couldn't ask for a better weather app. ### 4/5 — Hi res weather app! *2018-11-15* Love your weather app! Strong graphics & reliable & informative weather map! Would love to see an option for less ads, & a weather widget to accompany app. Would be a great addition. ### 4/5 — Nice App! *2011-09-03, version 1.9* This is a very nice weather app. Nice user interface and features. Only one suggestion for a future update...charge a small in app fee to get rid of the adds! Adds are an eyesore for me, and I never mind paying for an app just to get rid if the adds. ### 3/5 — Problem with video *2012-07-27, version 2.0.4* yes me to Strikezone99 crashes at end of video ### 3/5 — Problem with video *2010-09-01, version 0* Love this app. My only issue is that I cannot watch any of the videos. Crashes every time I try to watch. Please fix --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
