Thanks to the WCTV weather team I can plan my day .. ### 5/5 — Weather *2024-01-24, version 5.12.701* I love the weather app it keeps you informed about the weather ### 5/5 — Earned my respect *2023-09-13, version 5.10.500* WCTV did a great job before, during, and after Hurricane Idalia. They were entirely reliable and helpful. This app is reliable and free of bugs. That puts it miles ahead of the Weather Channel app. I still turn to WeatherBug first, partly because it’s organization and breadth of information are superior, but this app is my next choice. ### 5/5 — Love having weather at my fingertips *2023-09-08, version 5.10.500* No matter what the weather, I can find out what is coming up. The app is great. I love it. ### 5/5 — Weather reports *2023-09-06, version 5.10.500* Always accurate and up to date! ### 5/5 — Best news *2023-08-01, version 5.10.500* I like WCTV mobile news because I can keep up with highlights anytime without turning on the tv ### 5/5 — Grey *2023-05-24, version 5.8.501* Great ### 4/5 — Good Local Weather App *2022-11-10, version 5.6.500* Four stars, because it is full of adds. The adds are big, and take up too much weather space. Give a paid add free version. ### 4/5 — Too many ads *2022-07-10, version 5.6.500* I would like to watch the weather here but can’t deal with the ads. Sorry. ### 5/5 — Weather app *2022-07-07, version 5.5.702* I down loaded this app a few day ago, man do I love it!! ### 5/5 — Weather *2022-07-02, version 5.5.702* Love being able to look up the weather anytime! It is perfect. ### 5/5 — New weather guy *2022-05-26, version 5.5.702* What a nice surprise! Josh Green did a really good job tonight. Hope he will be a regular. Just wish he had sent some rain to Monticello 😍 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Time line on storms *2026-08-22, version 6.2.604* Can you adjust the time line ### 1/5 — Too many ads all over the pages *2026-06-21, version 6.2.512* The homepage has ads all over it and then when you switch to the different pages there’s more ads. I just want to see the weather forecast… not ads! ### 1/5 — To many commercials *2025-06-28, version 5.17.617* Not easy to get to too many commercials ### 1/5 — Clutter and confusion *2023-12-30, version 5.12.701* It is virtually impossible to get a fast clear forecast. The multiple screens, ads, and duplications make this Ap aggravating and ineffective. ### 1/5 — When it works *2020-06-30, version 5.0.600* Was awesome til most recent update now I get app not available in your area or some crap like that every time I try to load it. I haven’t moved so what’s the deal? ### 2/5 — WCTV weather website *2023-03-03, version 5.7.301* I think you had the best weather website of all the other websites. I was very disappointed when you changed it. You went from the best to the WOREST. Put it back like was and I will come back. Because yours was the most accurate. Go on theory that if it is not broken leave it alone . ### 2/5 — Radar view *2023-02-12, version 5.7.301* I liked the old format better. ### 2/5 — Videos *2021-06-29, version 5.3.500* Not working in APP since iPhone updates need to update your app as well ### 3/5 — Storm watcher *2024-10-07, version 5.16.1703* Usage example; I get a bad weather alert and open app only to be bombarded by pop up advertisements! Some even open web browser. At least the notifications let me know there’s gonna be bad weather somewhere in my area. ### 3/5 — Too busy *2023-01-19, version 5.7.301* Too many ads. I use for local weather not all the rest. The world is one big advertisement so when I am looking for the days forecast I don’t want to swim through a river of ads. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-07-18, version 6.2.512* WCTV Weather is my go-to source for accurate, reliable forecasts. The team is professional, informative, and always keeps our community prepared. Thank you for the outstanding work! ### 5/5 — Top WCTV Weather *2026-06-22, version 6.2.512* The best weather app in the world, totally awesome. Don’t get any better!!!0 ### 5/5 — Missing Chanel 6 *2026-04-03, version 6.1.601* Miss you guys. Took channel 6 off the TV. I have dish I’m fixing to see what I can change to so that I can get my daily news. ### 5/5 — Marla Griffin *2025-12-06, version 5.17.801* This is the best station around. The anchor are just fantastic and all the other people are just as amazing. The reporters do a great job and are up to the minute on all the stories. Keep up the great work.!!!!!!!😊🤔 ### 5/5 — Great app! *2025-12-02, version 5.17.801* It’s always nice to know when the weather changes! ### 5/5 — Always Check a Weather App *2025-10-05, version 5.17.706* Love to check on local weather though sometimes there are some hiccups like showing rain in my location and sun is out and vice verse. When it gets real bad I delete app and reinstall. An “App” will not defeat me. ### 5/5 — WCTV Weather *2025-07-05, version 5.17.617* The follow me function and the alerts have served me well. ### 5/5 — Blah blah *2025-05-10, version 5.17.601* It is helpful during big storms ### 5/5 — Weather summary *2024-05-13, version 5.12.701* Thank you so much for sharing the weather with us! It is so important to know what the forecast is. I really like the WCTV weather forecast! ### 5/5 — Thanks for the Mute *2024-05-05, version 5.12.701* I appreciate the need for ads for this service. And I appreciate that the default setting has the ads on mute. I can wait quietly for 10-30 seconds for the weather. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
