Radar

The radar isn’t working

Great for really local

Wonderful for really local but way off for other places like an hour away.

Great job

The team is outstanding!!!

The best

Been watching since Jim Gibbon

The ad

It would be great if the ad that pops up when you load the app to look at the weather was disabled during tornado weather. It stays on way too long. Other than that the app is great.

Needs Live Video Feed

A lot of information packed into this app. However, during the last severe weather event, we had to download the “regular” WDAM app to access the live video updates. It would be helpful if this app had live video updates as well.

Color scheme

That is good except for the color scheme for the lows and highs on daily forecast. The low is a very light blue. And you can’t see the damn thing. Especially when the background is cloudy. When it’s a sunny day it’s the same color as the blue background completely ridiculous who the hell needs to read this to change that?

Daily weather background

Can’t see what the daily temps are because of a cloudy then bright spot in the background. Just make the background a simple color or a nice clean weather related background instead of a bad cloudy looking, bad day background.

2026 Update

The latest update is a perfect example of “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it”. Why take a perfectly good simple app and build in a huge learning curve? The options on the RADAR screen are hardly intuitive and are cumbersome. In case any developer should read this, get a cup of coffee, read the paper, watch WDAM news, bring back the old app features and leave it alone!

Great news Rex

TY Rex, always enjoy your reports, you always do a great job, thankful for you & your coworkers, I’m grateful for all of you.

Background sucks

When looking at daily forecasts, you can’t see the temps because of the background image. Hard to see white letters against white clouds.

Too much

We I signed up for alerts I didn’t think it would be senseless “alerts” all day long. I’m sorry but I don’t see why anyone needs several alters a day about a heat advisory in August in south Mississippi. One a day should be more than enough! It is very distracting at work when my phone goes off several times in an 8 hour work day with these. You ever hear of the little boy that cried wolf? Too many of these alerts, and we stop reading them. So when there really is alarming weather we will not be prepared.

A Big Thank you!

Great area coverage. The updates are very much appreciated.

Messed up

Last update screw the radar map up. It will not go “full screen “. Cuts parts off on one end and adds to much to the other end. Please fix. It was fine before. All apps are doing that by this developer

Too much advertising

I don’t watch 30 seconds of advertising waiting for the weather forecast to start. I will look elsewhere.

Why?

This app “WAS” good but when I reinstalled it it wouldn’t track my location even thought I went on settings and let it track me but it still didn’t work so something’s wrong and it’s getting on my nerves I did everything right so it can’t be that I’m doing something wrong it’s a bug in the app

Current weather

The WDAM app is great for seeing approaching rain, lightning and tornadoes.

Toyota of Hattiesburg

I get sick of seeing that bald headed Toyota of Hattiesburg guy when I want to check the weather. Would’ve been a 5 star rating if not for his bald self

WDAM

Awesome weather app.

Really bad app!

This might be the most frustrating app just because of the ads. I get that they have to make money but if I’m having a tornado warning going off and I open the app to see where or how close it is to me and I have to see a Toyota ad as soon as I open the app. Not to mention the required video ad before the live stream. 0/10.
