It plays ads and then switches to the video, but it never plays! 🙄 ### 2/5 — Watching a video *2025-10-17, version 5.17.713* Well can’t actually watch any video, it doesn’t work!! ### 4/5 — Too many ads *2025-10-06, version 5.17.713* Nice app, but the amount of ads you have to overlook is annoying. ### 2/5 — Stop the ads *2025-07-12, version 5.17.612* To many ads better off using a knock off weather app ### 3/5 — Too much going on *2025-04-11, version 5.17.513* Too many subcategories on the site. Distracting. ### 3/5 — OK *2024-08-09, version 5.15.412* Way too many ads. ### 3/5 — Radar is very delayed *2024-07-09, version 5.15.403* I can be in a raging thunderstorm and the app radar shows clear. After the storm passes it looks like it’s over me. I need more up to date radar than this. ### 2/5 — Fails to load *2023-06-02, version 5.8.501* This app frequently fails to load. I shut down device and still doesn’t load. Storm Team 2 weather app loads just fine! ### 5/5 — Live Five Weather *2022-02-11, version 5.4.932* Joey does an excellent job on the weather!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ### 5/5 — Awesome *2021-10-07, version 5.3.901* I like the app always on the go and watch the news every day and night ### 5/5 — Good radar coverage *2021-07-09, version 5.3.901* Good radar coverage ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — The alerts are startling *2026-08-02, version 6.2.520* Despite changing the alerts to a tone rather than the panicked sounding man that yells “LIGHTNING HAS BEEN DETECTED IN YOUR AREA!”, the voice alert remains. It startles my dogs and if I’m honest, me. The accuracy used to be better as well. I have not been getting alerts until it’s already happening, lately. The alert thing is a deal breaker for me. ### 1/5 — Junk *2025-09-25, version 5.17.713* Downloaded this app to get updates on the potential hurricane(s) coming through in the next week but can’t get a single video about the hurricanes to play. Ads play “wonderfully”!🙄 ### 1/5 — Must watch Commercials before viewing Tornado WARNING *2024-09-27, version 5.15.412* I just downloaded this app. Apparently I must watch a Google Ad before I can view the tornado warning that was just issued! No Thanks. ### 1/5 — Awful waste of time *2023-08-05, version 5.10.500* Very confusing. Full of click bait. ### 1/5 — Slow to update forecast *2022-10-13, version 5.6.501* Weekend forecasts not updated for many hours. Very poor on keeping folks informed. ### 1/5 — Advertisements galore *2022-05-04, version 5.4.932* After getting through the adds it might be a o.k. App. Flustrating. ### 1/5 — Never consistent *2022-02-03, version 5.4.932* Hourly degrees are never the same as daily degrees on the same day!!! ### 1/5 — Weather App *2021-06-22, version 5.3.901* Everything is crammed on the app. It is poorly designed. ### 1/5 — Forecast temps inconsistent *2021-02-16, version 5.1.604* App has daily high that will be plus or minus 10-15 deg from video forecast. They need to get it together... ### 1/5 — Get rid of audio ads too loud *2021-02-03, version 5.1.604* Too many loud audio ads that interrupt forecasts ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Im love this *2025-09-17, version 5.17.706* This is the most reliable weather app ever for me. I’ve tried more than 10, and this one slays. ### 5/5 — Diva *2024-01-18, version 5.12.701* I watch yeah every morning,evening and night love each one of you!!! ### 5/5 — Our Lives 5 weather is amazing *2023-08-06, version 5.10.500* I am so glad we have weather folk at live 5 weather trackers to keep us informed about the weather conditions 🥰 ### 5/5 — Ads *2022-10-17, version 5.6.501* Too many adds ### 5/5 — The best *2022-08-07, version 5.6.501* Love Channel 5 great team😊😊just keep Joey lol & Mr Bill😊Walterboro & RoundO fan always👌👌 ### 5/5 — Weather app *2022-07-28, version 5.6.501* This app shows everything I need to view. I especially appreciate that I can view it horizontally. Charge wires on an iPad are not in the way when viewing horizontally, and the picture is larger. I delete apps that cannot be turned horizontally to view. Great job! Please do not revise it. Revising seems to never improve the viewing😂😂😂‼️. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Weather *2022-05-14, version 5.4.932* I am in Alabama and wanted to know what the weather was like in Summerville today. I am here in Alabama for the weekend. I am really pleased to know that I can get the weather from home. Thanks for being there. MaeWalker ### 5/5 — Forecasts *2022-04-06, version 5.4.932* Accurate forecasts without all the hype.
