### 1/5 — Useless after updating.

*2026-08-01, version 6.2.517*

This used to be my favorite weather app. Just updated today and weather data/radar won’t load.

### 3/5 — Radar doesn’t work

*2026-06-17, version 6.1.601*

The radar hasn’t worked for at least a week. Very disappointing.

### 3/5 — Widget for IOS

*2026-05-17, version 6.1.601*

Can’t locate any way to be able to put a widget on my screen this would be the best weather app on the market if it was available……

### 4/5 — Widget for IOS

*2025-01-23, version 5.16.1703*

Can’t locate any way to be able to put a widget on my screen this would be the best weather app on the market if it was available……

### 3/5 — Weather forecast unreliable

*2024-07-16, version 5.15.407*

I like the app for the radar, and while I do not expect a long range forecast to be accurate I would think a 24 hour forecast would be accurate. I work outdoors and need to know how to prepare for the day. Even a reliable 12 hour forecast would be helpful.

### 3/5 — Doesn’t Load Radar

*2024-06-06, version 5.13.804*

During a storm it doesn’t load the radar and the timeline is just question marks! Please fix it’s my favorite app

### 1/5 — Awful

*2023-09-06, version 5.10.506*

The radar isn’t even close to accurate. I’d give it 0 stars if it was possible

### 2/5 — You need to do something to fix it.

*2023-08-12, version 5.10.506*

Keeps crashing. During the last storm the radar showed nothing even though Betsy was telling us a sever storm was coming. The future radar bar freezes all the time.  Very disappointing.

### 4/5 — Good Weather app

*2023-04-22, version 5.7.301*

If an MLB team is the WKYC Weather app, then it is worth it, however, it would be very helpful to be able to set CLE Airport.

### 4/5 — WKYC weather app

*2022-11-15, version 5.5.500*

Great go to app. Since iOS 16, doesn’t open first tap on iPad Pro. Close and then opens on second try. Annoying. Otherwise would rate 5.
