Not as user friendly! I will be using a competitor's weather app. ### 3/5 — Please Fix *2016-12-11, version 3.7.0* Used to be the best weather app in the local area. However now with the update doesn't have a Radar. Not as user-friendly. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible App *2026-06-01, version 6.2.512* I loved this app for the consistency and accuracy. Now the app is just flooded with pop up ads so I don't even use it. Can you just go back to having the ads on screen rather than the pop up? Any time I click to the radar or the hourly a new ad pops up. I am deleting and going back to the basic weather app. ### 1/5 — Ads *2025-11-16, version 5.17.706* Too many ads ### 1/5 — Conflicting reports *2025-01-20* The hourly temperature predictions are drastically different from the daily highs and lows. This week, that difference is by 15-20 degrees. Too frustrating to try to figure out which to go by :( ### 1/5 — Radar doesn’t update often *2023-07-05, version 5.8.501* Many times the radar will not update or work correctly. ### 1/5 — Failure!! *2018-01-14, version 4.24.210030566* I agree with the rest of the 1 star ratings! No need for me to restate the obvious!! Bring back the original 🙏🙏 ### 1/5 — Best to Worst *2017-12-24, version 4.24.210030566* This was the best weather app on my phone, now I never look at it. Hard to navigate and useless ### 1/5 — From Best to Trash *2017-09-04, version 4.24.210030566* I'll start by saying DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS VERSION! A plea to the authors...do not change the old app but make it 64-bit. The old adage applies, KISS - Keep It Simple Stupid. I rarely write reviews for an app, unless they are really good or really bad....this is really bad. Like the previous reviewer said, the previous version of this app I held as the standard to all other weather apps, unfortunately this update is awful. I am a pilot that relies on weather a lot. For a quick summary of the weather I used the last version daily, now, I don't use this app anymore. Fortunately, I didn't update the app on my iPad and will use that until they undo this app. I could write a rather lengthy detailed review of what's wrong, but if you update to this version from the previous version you'll know immediately what I'm talking about. If you're reading this and updated anyways, can't say I didn't warn you. ### 1/5 — Unacceptable *2017-06-29, version 4.24.210030566* The previous version of this app was the one I held up as the standard for weather apps. This one doesn't even compare. The radar portion is nearly impossible to find. Once it is found, by accident, it is basic and generic. There are no more storm tracks available, and no option to view active alerts and warnings on the map. Overall an extremely disappointing rewrite to the app. ### 1/5 — Radar? *2017-06-17, version 3.74.0* Where is the radar? Your old app is better..... ### 1/5 — Useless *2016-12-16, version 3.7.0* Not very useful. You can see forecasts for the PAST week and the current day. If there's a radar, I couldn't find it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The Best *2024-08-28, version 5.15.406* Storm Team 5 is very thorough and accurate. Very seldom does the weather interfere with my outdoor plans, thanks to Storm Team 5. ### 5/5 — Weather Watcher *2023-06-15, version 5.8.501* The app has been easy to navigate and accurate. I’m following 3 Cities and get up to date watches and warnings which I depend on. ### 5/5 — Radar *2023-01-15, version 5.7.301* Works good for me ### 5/5 — Love the new update *2021-07-01, version 5.3.901* I just updated the WFRV StormTeam 5 app on my phone and am loving the new “straightforward” design of it. Great job on releasing the redesigned StormTeam 5 Weather App!! ### 5/5 — No hourly weather forecast *2020-12-26, version 4.35.570056931* The one thing on your app I used all the time. The hourly forecast for hunting and fishing is no longer on your app. ### 5/5 — Radar motion showing ice/snow *2020-07-07, version 4.35.400054573* I had no problems until a few months ago, where the radar(while in motion), indicates a blue-ish snow like mixture in the center. It seemed to be eliminated upon a prior update that made the radar different from before, but then went back to that prior style. Please help! I do like having this weather service, but am very frustrated with this error. ### 5/5 — Thanks. *2019-12-27, version 4.34.260049950* Your accuracy & up to date weather is appreciated. Thanks. ### 5/5 — Weatherman Chad *2019-06-10, version 4.33.400044898* Love watching Chad on air. He is really doing a nice job sharing the forecast with his viewers. Looks professional, sounds confident and delivers the weather forecast accurately. Great job! 👍 ### 5/5 — Storm Team 5 *2018-08-08, version 4.30.430040588* Great application for weather for Green Bay, Wisconsin. ### 4/5 — Grim weather forecast. *2023-01-10, version 5.7.110* This message is for Luke Sampi Last fall I recall you saying one day well this is the last 70° weather we’re going to see for several months. After that, we had many more nice 70° days. Tonight when I saw again , you say “well back to the grim gloomy weather”. I would like to see you be more positive and cheerful about our beautiful Wisconsin year-round weather , Luke. There are so many places that are so affected by bad weather; Southern California , nor’easter‘s , hurricanes down south, so many people are so much worse off than us.. Thanks for listening and let’s be more cheerful when it comes to our beautiful Wisconsin year-round weather forecast.
