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 ### 2/5 — Radar sweeps often broken *2026-06-18, version 6.1.706* Can’t see 6 hour sweep anymore. Reinstalling won’t fix. ### 2/5 — Needs an update *2026-06-12, version 6.1.706* 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. ### 2/5 — Need to fix the radar map- another issue *2026-05-31, version 6.1.706* 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. ### 2/5 — Can’t delete locations *2026-05-08, version 6.1.706* 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. ### 3/5 — Put the old radar back *2026-03-29, version 6.1.601* 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. ### 1/5 — Appears not to be formatted for iPhone *2025-08-20, version 5.17.708* 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. ### 3/5 — Need to fix the radar map *2025-07-09, version 5.17.511* 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. ### 1/5 — Using more cellular data than any other app on my phone *2025-02-03, version 5.17.511* As title says. I turned it off. Ridiculous ### 1/5 — To many scam advertisements for a new app! *2024-10-19, version 5.16.1702* The shear number ads placed on your app to fill space is rediculous. Most are flat out scams or misrepresention at best. There’s no place on a news app for these stupid ads. Example. Was getting a storm update ( hurricane) of all things… When I click the video a stupid window ad had redirected me to their site. Without my permission to boot. Sorry WFTV/disney I will no longer use any of your apps due to this unprofessional practice. ### 2/5 — Bad site *2024-10-12, version 5.16.1702* Hard to actually click on the local news and weather with this busy screen. Too many options on one page ### 1/5 — Not good *2024-10-06, version 5.16.1702* Every time I click on an alert, the app opens and then immediately crashes. When I finally get it to work, there are so many ads and popups that it is worthless to use. ### 2/5 — Disappointing unless you like ads not weather *2024-10-06, version 5.16.1702* I used to love this app and trusted what was provided. Now it’s nothing but advertisement galore. Weather at 23 hours old is not coverage you can count on. Very disappointing but it’s all about the money, not providing weather and news accurately anymore. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Inconsistent radar *2026-07-26, version 6.2.517* 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. ### 1/5 — radar *2026-06-19, version 6.1.706* Lousy radar never seems to be accurate ### 1/5 — Cannot delete locations *2026-06-14, version 6.1.706* Update has broken the ability to delete stored locations. Test your code! ### 1/5 — App needs an update *2026-06-14, version 6.1.706* The radar isn’t working. Future predictions, yes, but past, not. I hope this can be fixed otherwise I have to use WESH 2 🫤 ### 1/5 — Weather *2026-06-13, version 6.1.706* App works about half the time and then shuts down. ### 1/5 — Issue with latest version *2026-06-03, version 6.1.706* Since last update I can no longer remove cities from the list, the menu only pops up for a second ### 1/5 — New Radar is Terrible *2026-05-30, version 6.1.706* 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. ### 1/5 — Can’t delete location locations!! *2026-05-02, version 6.1.706* I can no longer delete save locations. It pops up for a split second and then goes away – irritating!!!!! ### 1/5 — App Glich *2026-04-09, version 6.1.706* I can no longer delete a saved location. The pop up option list only stays on for a split second. ### 1/5 — Used to be Much Better! *2025-10-26, version 5.17.708* 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. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — WFTV does it all *2026-08-14, version 6.2.517* Great news station and AMAZING WEATHER CREW ### 5/5 — The Best Weather App *2025-12-12, version 5.17.708* Without a doubt, the best weather app so easy to use and very very informative. Tommy and crew are the best. 😊 ### 5/5 — Love it *2025-10-03, version 5.17.708* Great site to get updates on weather ### 5/5 — Loved Rusty and Brian *2024-09-08, version 5.15.411* I always look @ the app. Give me peace and mind. “YOU ARE TOO BLESSED TOO BE STRESSED” say the LORD’s PRAYER and he will do the rest. Keep up the good work bless you all. Julia Drummond Cocoa, Fl, ### 5/5 — Tom is the best *2024-09-01, version 5.15.411* Tom and his team are simply the best! They always know what’s going on! ### 5/5 — App *2024-08-31, version 5.15.411* Excellent app ### 5/5 — Millennial All Grownup *2024-08-12, version 5.15.411* I have been watching Channel 9 since Marla Weech and Danny Trainor days! I couldn’t even IMAGINE watching another news crew! The app for weather is my new best friend! This summer was easily planned because of the interactive weather radar. Planning days ahead, just as easy. I am so grateful to be in Central Florida where I have what I feel is my very own personal news team! Thank you Channel 9. From a loyal viewer of 30+ years, Courtney D! ### 5/5 — Tom Terry *2024-04-25, version 5.13.804* I’ve been watching Tom Terry since Hurricane Charley. He’s the ONLY meteorologist I trust. I trust him and his team and no one else. ### 5/5 — Good *2023-12-18, version 5.11.503* PORN HUB ### 5/5 — Keeping us all informed! *2023-08-29, version 5.10.504* This is my first time using your app, which was recommended by neighbor. I love it! I’m staying up to date on what’s happening in Marion county and Florida as a whole. I’m also able to shared the app with my loved ones and they’re staying informed as well. Thank you all for doing an outstanding job as we all preparedness for Idalia. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
