Disgusting that “The Weather Company” and WCAX now abet fraud in the name of profit. Updated 9/10/24 Even worse, with the plethora of scam ads pushing weather info further to the margins. ### 2/5 — Not easy to find the text *2024-08-08, version 5.15.412* I love WCAX and their weather reports, but this app is not user friendly. Where is the text about today’s forecast? Maybe it’s there somewhere but not obvious. Did I just not scroll enough or miss a link? I do like the radar on this app. ### 2/5 — Thanks for creating however… *2024-08-04, version 5.15.412* Love the idea here but it’s difficult to read with the photo in background. Find it too busy in this version and not inclined to come back. ### 2/5 — No shame *2024-07-03* A great weather app, but with its latest updates and “improvement” WCAX saw fit to flood its pages with ads (and not just ads but scam and lying ads). Disgusting that “The Weather Company” and WCAX now abet fraud in the name of profit. ### 3/5 — Pass future radar map *2023-06-12, version 5.8.501* Get rid of this feature. It’s useless. I want to see what’s going on currently. That’s real time. If I want to see the past or future…….that’s why you have your tv show. ### 3/5 — Meteorologists summary *2023-03-24, version 5.7.404* WCAX used to provide a short written summary of the 1-3 day forecast. That was so valuable in understanding the nuances beyond weather icons. Please bring them back. Thanks! ### 5/5 — WCAX Weather *2022-01-30, version 5.4.948* Can’t beat local! It’s a crazy place to forecast & they do a great job. ### 5/5 — Mon avis! *2021-07-27, version 5.3.800* J’aime bien la carte météo, heure par heure, c’est comme cela que je planifie ma journée en plein air! Merci! ### 5/5 — Great weather app for all locations. Light on ads big on easy to use with good info. *2021-04-12, version 5.2.601* This app is great! I’ve been struggling to find a weather app that gives me what I want and not what I don’t. This fits most of my needs. It’s a little slow to launch but delivers. Not too many ads and does well on my location. ### 5/5 — Great Weather! *2021-04-12, version 5.2.601* Great data! Great staff! Thank you! ### 5/5 — Great meteorologists! Reliably updated... *2021-04-07, version 5.2.302* Very deserving of its own app. ☀️☔️😎 ### 3/5 — Weather App *2021-03-31, version 5.2.302* I have enjoyed this app tremendously however I hate the voice that comes out of no where to tell me that the local forecast is ready. Please, save the voice for weather emergencies ### 5/5 — Weather *2021-03-25, version 5.2.302* Can’t beat it best out there! ### 5/5 — Outstanding accuracy *2021-03-17, version 5.2.302* I always rely on you forecasts no matter where i am in the East Coast of the USA ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No audio. *2024-04-02, version 5.12.701* I can’t get audio from the video clips. I’ve updated, reinstalled and even switched phones. ### 1/5 — Poor *2024-02-22, version 5.12.701* I don’t understand why I can’t have max advantage weather forecast right after it airs. Sometimes I have to wait hours to watch it on the app. That’s all. But it could also be me. Thank you though guys. ### 1/5 — not easy to follow *2021-06-25, version 5.3.800* prefer the older version of wcax weather , this ones is missing many features of the previous version. like tracking multiple areas , states, country’s, Caribbean Europe etc satellite map on this version is awful. sorry Max Advantage this site needs some revisions ### 1/5 — Annoying *2021-06-15, version 5.3.800* I can’t stand this app update. Way too unorganized and visually confusing. Feel free to ditch the irritating photo backdrop. Would love to be able to use the old one again. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it!!!! ### 1/5 — Notification *2021-05-30, version 5.3.800* I love your app but since putting in the request for review every time I use it, on an iPhone it crashes the scrolling of the screen until half a minute later the notification comes up, once you get rid of that then it scrolls but in the meantime it is frozen ### 1/5 — Latest version shows incorrect forecast temps *2020-07-26, version 5.0.801* Doesn't anyone at WCAX use this app? The latest version is always showing incorrect hourly forecast temps (always lower by a wide amount). Furthermore, the thermometer can't change by 10+ degrees in one minute. ### 1/5 — A step or two backward *2019-06-30, version 4.8.900* Map is now very dark, almost black, since latest update. More ads. One ad covers half of the hour's weather report, making it difficult or impossible to read. And they say the updates are to improve the app and make bug fixes while they do just the opposite. Maybe it's time to look for a different weather app. ### 1/5 — No precipitation accumulations given *2019-01-17, version 4.7.900* Good app for sunny days only ### 1/5 — What did you do to this app? *2018-09-16, version 4.7.200* I used to love this app, but every recent update seems to make it slower and slower to open. Bring the old app back WCAX, it was a much better product. ### 1/5 — New version ruined the app *2018-09-11, version 4.6.2104* Just as many reviews have said...too slow to load, too many ads & my data usage skyrocketed out of nowhere after the update. Why was there a need to update something that wasn’t broken. I will be deleting the app soon as it has become almost useless for me now. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 5 star Scam *2026-07-18, version 6.2.512* Not just the app but the whole station is a scam they don’t give up to date weather and when I emailed them they said we are to busy to update so watch the live streaming feed because we stay current their well I watched all day today and never got any current weather or upcoming weather update ### 5/5 — Accurate *2026-03-24, version 6.1.601* You can count on getting a pretty accurate weather forecast that is better than the app that comes with iPhone ### 5/5 — Weather *2025-02-02, version 5.17.510* Since I drive so much it’s so critical to have your support here at all times. Thank you, Liz ### 5/5 — My relatives *2025-01-15, version 5.17.510* It’s a very inexpensive way to get weather data not just for a vacation to visit my nephew in Burlington but also where I live in Carbondale IL and also my other nephew in Zurich Switzerland. Excellent app ### 5/5 — Great app! *2024-10-17, version 5.16.1703* Works well - I check it every morning for an update ### 5/5 — On the lake *2024-08-11, version 5.15.412* We are using your apps for our weather for our sailing on the lake Great apps and detailled information ### 5/5 — Pretty Accurate *2024-08-10, version 5.15.412* Informative and fairly accurate, get weather for different areas, and has a follow feature for accurate weather wherever you are. ### 5/5 — Staying informed *2024-02-17, version 5.12.701* I love having the weather available at the tip of my fingers! I use it to plan all my activities. Thank you! ### 5/5 — WCAX *2023-08-13, version 5.10.500* Love it so accurate ### 5/5 — Always well explained *2023-03-26, version 5.7.404* Best ever --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
