Lots of warnings that never happen. Lighting 8 miles away and I will never get railed on. It’s raining now and I never got a rain notice. I get more notifications of stuff I will never see and no notification of stuff that is actually happening. I see storms building nearby that won’t show up on the radar. Maybe they aren’t dense enough. If I switch to clouds it’s just shows clouds are everywhere. The past and future never happens the same as reality. It’s always two or three steps behind. The video replay is a nice feature but sometimes isn’t updated as often as it could be. Middle of the day and Julie is still on from 7:00 am. The general forecasts and planners are ok. ### 2/5 — Weather map *2026-06-21, version 60.1.501* Map doesn’t work hasn’t worked for a few days need fixed or will delete ### 2/5 — Force closing *2026-06-21, version 60.1.501* Was working perfectly fine then all of a sudden started force closing. Won’t work ### 4/5 — Needs a minor repair *2026-06-21, version 60.1.501* Works great and have been using it for years, but lately I press the arrow to check the radar but shows —:— and can’t see the rain. :( ### 2/5 — Could have been good *2025-09-06, version 50.17.706* if it wasn't so poorly designed. Any hover of a finger triggers some unpredictable behavior taking you where you had no intention to go. They need to hire a real UI designer. They have access to good information, now it just needs to be presented in a usable way. As of now, presentation is absolutely awful. ### 2/5 — Can’t read with Al the colors *2025-07-23, version 50.17.706* Why can’t you leave a good thing alone. A man must have designed the new look! ### 2/5 — Weather Authority *2025-07-23, version 50.17.706* I am VERY DISGUSTED with the changes that have been made to channel 10’s Weather Authority. I used to look at the radar and it showed me what was going on, but now it’s too involved to even bother with. I enjoyed reading about the upcoming days forecast but now that feature is gone- they have an audio/Vidio instead and it’s involved to get to see it! Sadly, I guess I’m going to have to search around for something not so technical. ### 2/5 — Question?? *2025-07-03, version 50.17.621* Why doesn’t radar info match with MaxTracker ### 2/5 — Changes not user friendly *2025-04-09, version 50.17.607* App was better before all the changes! Now it’s super confusing on how use it appropriately. ### 2/5 — Latest update review *2025-03-24, version 50.17.607* This used to be a great app, however, the latests version is horrible, it jumps by itself from sections and the options and map are just not top notch anymore!!! ### 2/5 — Not good *2025-02-28, version 50.17.509* Too touch sensitive. Always taking me away from the front page. Be great if you tried to remedy that. ### 2/5 — Worthless *2025-02-25, version 50.17.509* The application consistently deviates from the weather forecasts presented on television news broadcasts. In contrast, applications such as WeatherBug exhibit significantly higher accuracy and precision in their weather predictions. ### 2/5 — App changes *2025-01-27, version 50.17.509* App changes are unwanted. The old app was easier to navigate for users in other parts of the country. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Location *2026-08-17, version 60.2.512* Somehow, this app always has my location wrong. It thinks it’s where I was four days ago. ### 1/5 — Talking when you wanna just see the weather *2026-08-06, version 60.2.512* Do not want to hear the news just wanna watch what weather is doing can’t turn it off ### 1/5 — Radar *2026-06-25, version 60.2.512* Does not work anymore. Was great but now it does not move. I deleted the app and reinstalled it but it still doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Used to be great *2026-06-22, version 60.1.501* Several months ago the app stopped opening up. I’ve tried to re-add it and restart my phone. Nothing helps. It used to be the best weather app for the radar. I was even using it after moving to NC. I’ll miss it. ### 1/5 — You ruined the App with the changes you made. HORRIBLE !!! *2025-09-13, version 50.17.706* You 📌RUINED 📌the app with all the changes you made. Now its HORRIBLE with all the ads floating around ➖ its WAS SO GOOD BEFORE why ruined something good. HORRIBLE!!! ### 1/5 — New update *2025-08-02, version 50.17.706* Unable to update for several days now ### 1/5 — Update app *2025-07-04, version 50.17.621* No where as good as the previous ones , the earlier versions of the weather app was great!!!! This one is terrible. I like the live radar of the last one. I can’t stand this latest version of, radar predicted type!!! Please go back to the original version of the app. Please ### 1/5 — Mr *2025-05-31, version 50.17.607* Don’t want this App taking over my phone. ### 1/5 — New version *2025-03-25, version 50.17.607* I much prefer the old version. Way easier to navigate and get radar/information. ### 1/5 — Too Clunky *2025-01-07, version 50.17.509* The old version was simple and obvious. Its complexity isn’t necessary, Future hourly information and maps for various locations is sufficient. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best local weather forecast *2026-08-31, version 60.2.512* The Weather Authority from Local 10 has the most accurate current conditions, future forecast and radar data. Their app has now been moved to my home page. ☀️☁️⚡️💨💦🌦️ ### 5/5 — Blue boat tours Captain *2026-07-18, version 60.2.512* This is an accurate radar that I count on every day to take people out on charters. You can count on this App, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT. TY WEATHER AUTHORITY CAPTAIN BUDDHA ### 5/5 — Easy use *2025-09-29, version 50.17.706* Plain and easy ### 5/5 — Thank You *2025-09-13, version 50.17.706* Thank You for helping Us with Weather Reports.

Weather Authority is my go-to ‘peace of mind’, day in and day out. ### 5/5 — WA is the perfect name *2025-06-10, version 50.17.607* The perfect and more accurate weather team!!!!👏👏👏👏👍 ### 5/5 — APP *2025-06-01, version 50.17.607* Thanks Brandon!
