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 ### 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. ### 3/5 — Old bug still there *2022-09-25, version 5.5.500* When the app is open, about half the time it opens only at the top half of the screen. This is on an iPad Pro with iOS 15.7. This has been happening for years. Am I the only one who sees this? ### 2/5 — Reliability *2022-05-14, version 5.5.500* I’ve been using this app for years. I also used to watch the morning video of the weather daily. But now, the videos are no longer daily and one can see that they are an after though from someone. Why have videos if you are not going to update them morning and evening like in the old days? Very disappointing that in the era of instant news, this app has fallen behind. ### 3/5 — Review *2022-02-24, version 5.5.500* Was a great weather app and could also get news headlines in the blog, but the blog no longer works. ### 4/5 — Figured out why it locks up *2021-09-22, version 5.3.903* I have had the same problems listed by others - the app locks up upon opening and won’t load. I recently installed an ad blocker and tried suspending it, which allowed the app to work normally. Problem solved. ### 4/5 — My Go-To Weather App *2020-11-19, version 5.1.400* This has been my go-to weather app for years, and I have recommended it to many others. Thanks for an app that shows the weather without having ads placed over top and dividing the screen. I have to say though, I do miss the 4 seasons graphic that used to show when the app was opened. ☹️ ### 4/5 — Radar *2020-11-15, version 5.1.400* Radar is delayed 15 min ### 4/5 — Many advantages *2020-11-15, version 5.1.400* This app is convenient and easy to use. On my deviceThis app is convenient and easy to use it loads rather slowly This app ### 5/5 — Best Weather App *2020-11-12, version 5.1.400* Can see anywhere in USA, and since I’m a traveler, I love it. ### 5/5 — Why such a low rating!? *2020-01-21, version 4.10.2100* Granted, I’ve only had this app for a short time but I don’t understand the low ratings. So far, I really like it! At the very first screen it gives me all of the info that I want to know. Wind speed, temp, live radar etc.. Most weather apps make you scroll through different screens to get all of that info. If you want to look at your current weather more in depth, that is also available. Ignore the bad stars and give this one a try! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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 ### 1/5 — WKYC continues it’s downward spiral *2020-07-22, version 5.0.401* I’m not sure who they’re trying to appeal to, but it’s certainly not the segment of viewers who want, and need, the news and weather that are delivered professionally without focusing on their TV “personalties”. It is substandard by every measure. Take a hard look at other markets in other cities and glean the professionalism there. Please, you owe it to the Cleveland Viewers. As for you App performance, it doesn’t perfom well at all, and hadn't for years! Fire your developer and get it on track. You needn’t look too far to find a Cleveland weather app that works well. ### 1/5 — Color codes provide very little info *2020-01-18, version 4.10.2100* Does a regular person test your updates? How can one possibly see rain or snow tracks through the purple or red areas of the weather advisories ? Blue is the color for snow. You programmed lavender to represent the advisory area. I cannot see the progression of snow in blue through the lavender area. I cannot believe this is the first time someone has brought this to your attention. If no one has, you cannot state that “we haven’t heard of this problem before” ### 1/5 — Same *2020-01-15, version 4.10.2100* This is my favorite weather app too, getting stuck on home screen. Hope your fixing it, I’m lost without it!!! ### 1/5 — Update *2019-08-05, version 4.8.900* Your recent update ruined your app. All I wanted was a simple weather forecast and now it is so complicated. ### 1/5 — Do not like new map *2019-06-01, version 4.8.600* Pls use old map ### 1/5 — Undo the update *2019-05-30, version 4.8.600* I used to absolutely love this app, until the last update. Now it’s terrible! The graphics are awful. It crashes. The forecasts are off. Please undo the update! ### 1/5 — Dislike *2019-05-19, version 4.8.600* For years I used this app. Now the map is awful. There aren’t any indicators on the map. No street names or cities. Time to move on. ### 1/5 — App crashed *2019-05-04, version 4.8.300* Updated on May 3rd... Splash screen goes to closed. Tab is open underneath but bringing it up goes back to the splash screen to closed...lather rinse repeat. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Much Wow, Such Great *2020-11-28, version 5.1.401* Rain snow and oh hail no. It’s a nice radar map ### 5/5 — Weather *2020-11-21, version 5.1.401* Works great ### 5/5 — Weather Warnings *2020-11-17, version 5.1.400* Very helpful. Great warning alerts. Have been very helpful when we were out of town on vacation. ### 5/5 — Review. *2020-11-17, version 5.1.400* “A 5 star review” ### 5/5 — Great *2020-11-16, version 5.1.400* Great to have local info. ### 5/5 — Radar difficulty *2020-11-16, version 5.1.400* Love everything EXCEPT the radar transition from present to future which is always inaccurate. For example, the major storm that DID go through the Cleveland area today (Nov 15th) about 5pm was shown roaring thru Toledo / Sandusky... but disappearing completely before hitting the Akron area. ### 5/5 — Channel 3 Weather app *2020-11-15, version 5.1.400* Nothing bad to say about this app. Plenty of info all the time. My go to weather app. ### 5/5 — Good app *2020-11-15, version 5.1.400* Usually great app. Only complaint is when the BLOG doesn’t work. I enjoy it for short news blurbs. ### 5/5 — My “ go to “ weather source *2020-11-14, version 5.1.400* I utilize the radar not only for the local area but nationwide also ### 5/5 — Quick Response *2020-11-12, version 5.1.400* This app is the best weather app. Quick loading and lots of data. I use it every day. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
