What happened to that feature? ### 4/5 — Loads slow *2025-02-11, version 5.17.508* This app is not bad at all but it is slower to start up than most other weather apps. One thing that could be improved is the time stamp on the radar. It is so tiny you can barely see it. Maybe if the background was black instead of blue/grey possibly could help. Definitely making it bigger would be better. ### 4/5 — bamazac *2024-01-18, version 5.12.702* Broadcast temps don’t always match web temps ### 5/5 — Good *2023-06-30, version 5.10.401* Very good ### 5/5 — WEAR weather rating *2023-06-28, version 5.10.401* WEAR weather reporting is pretty accurate especially like the radar and the alerts, Thanks ### 5/5 — Need this app available on tv *2023-06-23, version 5.10.401* Miss having a weather station available with just an antenna ### 5/5 — Great *2023-06-23, version 5.10.401* Enjoy the channel 3 Weather App…especially when the daily video forecast is working. Keeps me current with local forecasts and more. ### 5/5 — First Warning *2023-06-20, version 5.10.401* I really love the verbal warning, especially concerning lightening in my area. ### 3/5 — It’s ok *2023-05-07* I really wish they would update it. Sometimes I need to delete it and reinstall it. Doesn’t help. I think they can do better. ### 3/5 — Latest version is glitchy *2019-07-02, version 4.8.901* Previous WEAR weather app was my go to, but the new map and weather data for this is more like the Weather Channel’s app now - which isn’t good. Revert back please - Twas good already. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — WEAR WX OCT 2 2024 *2024-10-04, version 5.16.1703* Used to be very reliable, now the map shows rain on my location (no rain for hours), hourly keeps pushing back “rain” every hour ALL DAY LONG. Disappointing that this changed negatively so fast. Weather Bug (National) is even better!!! Looking, any ideas to replace this unprofessional hack app? ### 1/5 — Not getting any alerts *2022-09-28, version 5.6.510* Needs update hasn’t been updated since 2019 ### 2/5 — It’s ok *2023-06-22* I really wish they would update it. Sometimes I need to delete it and reinstall it. Doesn’t help. I think they can do better. This app is really glitchy. ### 2/5 — Weather forecast *2023-06-20, version 5.10.401* Your app is always different than what you say on evening news. Your daily forecast is always different than what you post on news ### 2/5 — Battery drain *2020-06-15, version 5.0.301* The app stays on all the time. Please correct this and stop the abnormal battery drain. ### 3/5 — It’s an ok app *2026-05-07, version 6.1.401* The forecast video is not updated very often. Every 12 hours or so if you’re lucky. There is no “watch live”section. Other weather apps are better and have more functionality. ### 3/5 — Uses too much data *2025-04-10, version 5.17.508* I love this app. It’s so accurate and I love the local videos. BUT it is using up all my data when I’m away from home - more than anything I use, even when it’s not open. I’d love to know how to fix this, but for now, it’s gotta go. ### 3/5 — Ok I guess *2024-09-15, version 5.15.406* The only thing I really don’t like is the 24 hour radar stops at 12 hours so you don’t get that other 12 hours of radar. ### 3/5 — Too much *2023-07-17, version 5.10.500* Alerts when it’s about to “light rain” lightning stricked miles from home. Too many alerts ### 3/5 — Downgraded update. *2023-06-20, version 5.10.401* The last update got rid of past wether radar and decreased the usefulness of this app. It was nice to be able to watch recorded actual wether patterns rather than relying on future models. Change it back. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — WEAR WEATHER *2025-06-14, version 5.17.612* It’s the only channel I trust. It’s here in Pensacola our only Florida channel. ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-06-02, version 5.13.1000* Love this sight ### 5/5 — Nice *2024-02-07, version 5.12.702* You all are great! ### 5/5 — Great *2023-12-12, version 5.12.702* Great ### 5/5 — Best weather app ever *2023-09-07, version 5.10.500* This the best weather app I have ever used. I have moved away from the area and still use it. ### 5/5 — Connection *2023-07-30, version 5.10.500* Doesn’t always work, radar not displayed, slider freezes. ### 5/5 — Weather and news personnel *2023-07-09, version 5.10.500* Thanks for always keeping us informed !!! ### 5/5 — Awesome Weather App *2023-07-04, version 5.10.500* I lived in ORANGE BEACH for about 8 years, and moved back home in North West Alabama 4 years ago, for Family Reasons. We had this Weather App down there The whole Time We we’re living there, We still have this App and probably always will, This App is the most Informative Weather App I have ever had or seen. Kerri ### 5/5 — Upset *2023-07-03, version 5.10.500* I punch the star but you force me to write a review. I will never review or touch a star again. ### 5/5 — WEAR *2023-07-03, version 5.10.500* Great very helpful --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
