Slow loading video ads usually keep me from watching video and impede access to the rest. Too bad because it has many nice features I’d like to use more. ### 2/5 — Notice: *2021-08-25, version 5.3.904* It is 5:45pm and high wind/stormy. But my app doesn’t mention any of that. (Wed.). My trees are laying over, in Mt. Crawford. Thank you. Scary! Jill Peachey ### 5/5 — Favorite *2021-05-24, version 5.3.400* This is by far my favorite “go to” weather app. Thank you WHSV! ### 2/5 — So-so *2021-03-04, version 5.1.606* Not the worse forecasts, but not the best either. I have other weather apps to get a more accurate pic when needed. ### 5/5 — New weather man *2021-03-01, version 5.1.606* I like the new guy, John Stevens, he is relaxed & ad libs & makes it interesting ‼️ ### 5/5 — Ask weather questions *2021-02-20, version 5.1.606* I appreciate all the information on the app but sometimes there are contradictions and it would be nice to ask the weather folks a question about , for example, why there info differs from the NWS. ### 3/5 — Decent weather app but... *2020-12-17, version 5.0.1002* The “Follow Me” function shows me the weather for Quito Ecuador (I’ve never been there) sometimes and does not show my proper location until I power my phone off and on. Restarting the app doesn’t seem to help. ### 2/5 — Ads ridiculous & now no notifications! *2019-11-15, version 4.10.1600* Why not have a paid app instead of the ridiculous ads. App throws you out then have to go back in to see ad again. Poor quality! Aubrey is only great thing (person) about WHSV!! Everything else is substandard including app! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Sad day! *2026-04-01, version 6.1.601* It is a sad day when an employee gets fired because of talking to another employee regardless of what they were discussing. Free speech! What a joke. When you can’t even talk to another person without someone interfering in a conversation. Neither I or my family will ever watch WHSV again. ### 1/5 — Nope. Needs a new definition for bad *2025-05-10, version 5.17.511* I’m going to stick with Weather Underground. It does a much better job of forecasting my daily weather than these “professionals.” The app was once useful but now that it’s embracing technology instead of simply telling me my weather, it’s become pretty much worthless for me. ### 1/5 — No weather *2023-10-06, version 5.11.503* The weather will not pull up. I have tried all your recommendations to fix it. Everything else seems to work, but the weather will not and that is the single most important part of your app. ### 1/5 — Nope. Needs a new definition for bad *2022-05-03* I understand that app developers need to make money but this is ridiculous. When I have a need to know my local weather I do not need to be redirected to the App Store to download a game app. I’m going to stick with Weather Bug. They do a much better job of forecasting my daily weather. This app used to be good. Now it’s like they’re begging you to watch them on TV instead ### 1/5 — Ad takes over *2021-08-14, version 5.3.904* I’ve used the WHSV Weather app for a long time and put up with all the ads. However the political poll ad that started showing up today takes over the app. You can’t close the ad or wait it out. It forces you to press “Learn More”, which takes you to another website. So I had to turn my phone off and on again to get it to go away. I tried one more time to go to the weather app and same thing happened again. So I’ve deleted the app. Completely frustrating and ridiculous!! ### 1/5 — Too many ads that pop up over vital info *2021-02-20, version 5.1.606* I understand the need for ads but your app has vital info that is frequently disrupted by an ad. I may just have to stop using it. ### 1/5 — App problems *2019-02-28, version 4.7.907* I have a brand new iPhone X. This app quits working 2 or 3 times a day. Only app on my phone that does that. ### 1/5 — Lost me on the first step *2018-04-15, version 4.6.1400* It asked me to pinpoint my location, which I did, then... nothing. No 'enter' button, no instructions, no way to leave that screen. So I can’t evaluate the weather app because I can’t get to it! ### 2/5 — Slow *2023-06-20, version 5.10.400* This app is slow to download and is basically the same as some other weather apps. ### 2/5 — Old info *2022-05-27, version 5.5.802* A tornado warning just interrupted my tv, so I opened this app. First you have to wait a while until the app actually starts. Then you have to watch a commercial. Then you click on the streaming video of the local talent giving the info…but the report is four hours old. There are much better weather apps out there. Too bad, since the WHSV weather team is quite good when doing their segments on the local news programs. It’s the app that’s not particularly useful. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Weather Page County *2026-03-06, version 6.1.601* Please give us more localized info less general. 🌸 ### 5/5 — Weather App *2025-12-11, version 5.17.801* WHSV is the only weather app I go by. It is accurate. Thank You to all who keep it up to date ### 5/5 — Accurate *2024-10-08, version 5.16.1703* My go to for accurate weather predictions for the Shenandoah Aubrey Urbanowitz is the best for our area. She understands our weather! ### 5/5 — 5 Star *2024-10-01, version 5.15.412* Keep up the great work thank you all for everything ### 5/5 — Good app *2023-12-14, version 5.12.701* App ### 5/5 — A quality weather app… *2023-05-17, version 5.8.410* This app is way better than expected for a small town weather app. I depend on the weather for many of my hobbies and the forecasts/radar on this is 5/5 stars. It’s free and does all of the things other apps do but want you to spend money on (which is way I’m really enjoying it). ### 5/5 — Aubrey Urbanowicz *2023-03-17, version 5.7.404* You are the greatest meteorologist. I can depend on your weather forecasts. Your dresses are so beautiful. Loved the green dress u wore on St Pats day. Where do u get these beautiful dresses from. ### 5/5 — Change please. *2023-01-24, version 5.7.301* Could Stephanie please say “dress warmly” instead of “dress warm”? One should use an adverb instead of an adjective after a verb. She does such a good job and I appreciate her forecasts. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Accurate *2022-08-14, version 5.5.802* My go to for accurate weather predictions for the Shenandoah Valley ### 5/5 — Review *2022-04-13, version 5.4.946* Adds are irritating when they pop up and won’t go away that you gotta close the app and reopen again. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
