### 1/5 — Sideways

*2026-07-02, version 5.0.5*

I like Weather Nation but why can’t the app work like every other app and be vertical.

### 2/5 — Radar won't advance

*2026-05-10, version 5.0.5*

The radar will not work even after deleting and reinstalling the app.

### 1/5 — App is broken

*2026-05-09, version 5.0.5*

This app is broken and needs serious updating especially on the 17 Pro Max. They need a new developer all together for this app.

### 2/5 — Needs serious tech help

*2026-04-28, version 5.0.5*

Very hard to get it to function on iPhone 16 - I love the tv stream / please hire a app geek :)

### 5/5 — Apple Widget

*2026-01-30, version 5.0.5*

Need Apple Widget For Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max

### 1/5 — Weather Nation on iPhone…

*2026-01-24, version 5.0.5*

When first, using the app, the user is prompted to enter their local ZIP Code. Seemingly, the screen is automatically forced into the ‘landscape mode’. At that point, after entering the ZIP Code from the virtual keypad that is presented…. hitting “return” will not advance the screen, and the screen is “frozen“ in place so that the user cannot find any screen button to press to advance on from the ZIP Code entry box. Quite frustrating…

### 5/5 — Weather

*2026-01-24, version 5.0.5*

I love Weather Nation!! You all are the Best!! Simply the Best!!!

### 1/5 — WeatherNation app

*2025-12-13, version 5.0.5*

I see the WeatherNation app on IOS and android devices needs to rotate instead of sideways, make it up and down too.

### 1/5 — Update your app

*2025-10-30, version 5.0.4*

I’ve been using the WeatherNation app for a while, but it really needs a major upgrade. The design and features feel outdated compared to other weather apps. Please take inspiration from FOX Weather — their app is modern, interactive, and packed with useful tools and alerts.

WeatherNation has great coverage and meteorologists, but the app experience needs to catch up. Adding features like live radar improvements, better video integration, location-based alerts, and an updated interface would make a huge difference.

I hope you guys roll out a big update soon — the content deserves a much better app!

### 3/5 — Current Temp Doesn’t Match

*2025-06-07, version 5.0.4*

Right now the home screen says 68° and the hourly temp shows 73°. How can they be different? Please fix this so they match.
