Goes to fast. Your app has consistently been my favorite go-to radar, but I’m looking for others since you’ve changed it. Put the looping back the way it was a month or so ago. ### 3/5 — News 2 app review *2020-12-04* Your app seems fine once it opens. It takes so long for it to open. I have 4 devices and it is like that on all of them. It would be nice if you could work on how fast it opens up. ### 4/5 — Works like a charm most of the time *2020-11-20* Works like a charm on my iPad Air most of the time ....but storm front radar tracking doesn’t load the storm front images from time to time, and I have to go to my back up weather apps. Otherwise, this is my go app. ### 3/5 — Best weather app BUT... *2020-06-18* Found out yesterday, it used 33% of my battery time during the day for “background activities.” Didn’t realize I had to formally “close” it. I will from now on, and be super careful when and how I use it. ### 2/5 — What’s wrong with this app *2020-01-03* This was a great app till a couple weeks ago. Now I have to power off my iPhone and then it will work till I out of the app 🤨🤨👎👎👎 ### 2/5 — Crashes, won’t load *2019-05-03* Crashes on start up, needs update to fix this ### 2/5 — Loading issues *2019-01-08, version 4.7.801* I’m running the newest version of this app and halo the time it won’t open. ### 2/5 — Won’t load *2018-11-01* Good app except a lot of times it won’t load the current weather or it just crashes. ### 2/5 — Looks *2017-12-06, version 4.5.1901* What happened to former colorful app— now is very bland!? ### 1/5 — Unacceptable *2017-09-21* I normally use this app daily. They have changed the app requiring me to always run my location instead of while only using the app. This hasn't been a problem until recently. Will delete this app for this reason. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Do not like newest version *2026-03-16, version 6.1.601* There is a five minute gap between the past and the future radar! Whenever we have a tornado warning i have the local tv on and my app because tv show other areas at the storm etc. I couldn’t follow with this version for todays tornado warning 3-16-26 , on tv WXII radar was red all around and on top of me but the app had red north and green over me,, very dangerous, i know what im looking at because i love weather stuff, and keep my kids and parents up to date when warnings come up. This app is like all other weather apps that look the same now. I don’t mind things changing but this is just too different and useless now for up to minute watching. ### 1/5 — iPhone app issues *2024-07-12, version 5.15.407* Not sure what is going on with the app. My husband has an android phone and his app and mine have totally different information. Not sure what is going on if something to do with iPhone latest update. Todays current temperature reads as 25 it’s 90 something outside. iPhone app issues must have just started because I have been using everyday for weather for years. ### 1/5 — Glitch in app *2023-10-13, version 5.11.503* Has stopped working since IOS 17 installed ### 1/5 — New Glitch *2023-09-10* I normally love this app and is usually an excellent weather source, but it now has a problem where the screen goes into video play mode (black screen with play button and X to close) when you tap on the mode at the bottom of the screen. I tried closing, uninstalling and reinstalling. I even turned my phone off and on again, but nothing changes so I’m posting this review. I hope it can be fixed. Until then I will probably stop using the app. ### 1/5 — Virus *2021-09-26, version 5.3.902* This app acts like a virus. It opens when you click on links in other apps. ### 1/5 — NO Notifications *2020-10-30* One reason for having the weather app is severe weather alerts/notifications. Earlier this evening, there was a tornado warning for my area and I had no clue! I checked settings in this app, all notifications were turned on. Then, I checked the settings on my phone for this app, every possible notification was turned on. Thank goodness my son called to make sure that I was aware of the tornado warning! There’s no point in keeping this app if the notifications don’t work!! ### 1/5 — No longer opens *2020-01-14* Loved this app but after phone update it will no longer open on my iPhone 7. Will have to delete and go back to weather channel ;( ### 1/5 — Broken with today’s update *2019-05-03, version 4.8.300* Won’t open. Just crashes. ### 1/5 — Bad update *2019-05-02* This current update is one of worst. If looks as if some tech person is trying to keep their job so they had to make changes. I will be deleting this app after using it for many years. ### 1/5 — Ok app *2017-10-07* Was a great app until it updated. Now I can't switch between my saved place to see what's going on where. It just stays on current location without any way of viewing any you have saved. Please fix this back so I don't have to delete and look for a different radar. UPDATE: Was a good app. Now requires you to have location services on all the time instead of just while using the app. PLEASE FIX AND CHANGE IT BACK. Until then I no longer use this app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great local weather app ⛅️🌧️🌩️ *2024-03-31* Switched from Weather Channel to the WFMY Weather app and it’s even better than the pay app 🎉🎉 ### 5/5 — 13 years with an iPhone, this is my only review *2021-12-15, version 5.4.940* This is by far the best weather app. Always accurate and I love that it has a “follow me” feature which provides me with the best forecast wherever I travel. I don’t review apps (positive or negative), but this one deserves the credit it is due. ### 5/5 — Best weather app *2020-12-07* Use it daily to determine weather changes and when to anticipate. Most reliable source. ### 5/5 — Zimmerman Carpet & Rug Cleaners *2020-11-30* Over the past 40 years of our business service to the Triad we have used WFMY throughout each winter to decide if we needed to heat our carpet cleaning vans to keep them from freezing. They have been impressively accurate. We also really enjoy the ease and flow of their weather app. Thank you News 2 for helping us keep our equipment from freezing… Not even once! ### 5/5 — I was wrong! *2020-11-24* I was skeptical, but I find that my skepticism was totally unfounded. The service is accurate and dependable. Frankly, I have zero negative issues to report. ### 5/5 — Very accurate *2020-11-21* As someone that works outside and also spends a lot time riding motorcycles in the mountains of Tennessee and North Carolina, having an accurate weather forecast is important. At one time I had 4 different weather apps on my phone, over a period of several months I would monitor the accuracy of each App eliminating the most inaccurate one. Eventuality the WFMY weather App was the only one remaining. Now weather is a science of prediction, a very educated guess, and no one is 100% right but I found WFMY to be the most accurate over all. It’s the only weather App left on my phone. ### 5/5 — Crash *2020-01-09* Running OS 13.3. The app no longer opens! Waiting for update. Moving to WRAL in the interim. This app is better... when it works. Good news! Around January 6th, the update came through and we’re back in business! ### 5/5 — What’s Up ??? *2019-11-18, version 4.10.1602* 6/8/18 This WAS ALWAYS the BEST weather app anywhere ... Friends all over the country have loved the app ... BUT .... For the past 24 hours it won’t open at all ... have tried at least 20 times since 10pm yesterday ... HELP !!!! Fix it Quick ... traveling and need to keep up to date on what is happening !! NOW 11/18/19 ... with the latest app update ... location dots are missing on all my locations on my list ..... PUT THEM BACK !!! When I look for weather (say Milton Florida) it brings up the Florida map .. but heck I have to get down to almost street level to find a small town that USE TO BE MARKED WITH THE DOT ... ### 5/5 — Was great until... *2018-09-21* With the upgrade, no longer compatible with iPhone 5c. Was a great app, and my primary weather app until... ### 5/5 — Great app *2014-05-29, version 2.7.10* Very accurate I live in virginia and use this app because it is so much more accurate than others I've used best way to stay informed on your weather --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
