Inconsistent radar

After a summer 2026 update to the WFTV radar network that was supposed to significantly improve radar coverage, the app radar is now SIGNIFICANTLY delayed, like 10-15 minutes off. It is no longer reliable and neither is WFTV after all the on-air talent changes the past few years, we have simply stopped watching at 40+ years.

Channel 9 weather

Local radar is always offline

Inconsistent

I will check the forecast early am. One or two hours later the forecast has changed dramatically. Example this morning was predicted 10% rain at 6:30. About 8am rain chance went up to 80%. It never did rain at my location though

Lousy radar never seems to be accurate

Radar sweeps often broken

Can’t see 6 hour sweep anymore. Reinstalling won’t fix.

Cannot delete locations

Update has broken the ability to delete stored locations. Test your code!

App needs an update

The radar isn’t working. Future predictions, yes, but past, not. I hope this can be fixed otherwise I have to use WESH 2 🫤

Weather

App works about half the time and then shuts down.

Needs an update

Don’t know what’s going on with this app lately but it’s become super buggy. Radar won’t work 3/4 of the time. Can’t delete cities from your list, you click the 3 dots and the menu pops up for half a second and vanishes. Gonna have to find a new app if they don’t get this fixed soon.

Issue with latest version

Since last update I can no longer remove cities from the list, the menu only pops up for a second

Need to fix the radar map- another issue

Update #2:
The radar isn’t working at all. It is now frozen altogether. Guess I’ll switch over to the Fox 35 weather app. It works even through bad weather.

Update: radar still not working properly. And now it seems to be stuck on “future”. Can’t change it to “past”.

The radar is always way behind the current conditions. Many times, like the present, it’s showing the rain is approaching. However it’s pouring outside.

New Radar is Terrible

I’ve used this app for years and found it to have the best radar until now. Recent update makes the radar terrible. I want to see past and future together.

Can’t delete locations

Please fix this. I get a million alerts for places that I’ve saved while traveling and now I can’t delete those locations. It’s so annoying and it’s going to make me delete this app. Needs to be fixed asap.

Can’t delete location locations!!

I can no longer delete save locations. It pops up for a split second and then goes away – irritating!!!!!

App Glich

I can no longer delete a saved location. The pop up option list only stays on for a split second.

Put the old radar back

Formerly, the radar showed a combination of past and present; exactly what I wanted to see. The 24 hour option is nonsense. Put it back or at least make it an option.

The Best Weather App

Without a doubt, the best weather app so easy to use and very very informative. Tommy and crew are the best. 😊

Used to be Much Better!

Why was Brian Shields ever let go? He was the best forecaster, and the most accurate and reassuring, esp when it came to tropical weather. WFTV should feature Brian Shields for their tropical forecasts, updates, and emergencies.

Love it

Great site to get updates on weather

Appears not to be formatted for iPhone

There are so many ads or items displaying that they write over each other and I’m unable to watch the weather item that I received an alert for.
