Inaccurate

I downloaded this thinking it would be better than the weather channel app. I was wrong. This app is WILDLY inaccurate. What’s the point of having a weather app that seldomly provides on point weather predictions? It even differs from what wkyt reports on the news. How does it go from 20% to 100% chance of rain in hours? Pretty frustrating.
The weather notifications come late. I could be struck by lightning and about 5 mins later I’d get an alert that read “Lightning is in your area”.

Not accurate

This app is not accurate for this area I love the way it’s layed out better than most apps but it will be completely different than other apps. Cannot be trusted when trying to farm with the weather

Great weather app

No nonsense info so far the best!

GOAT Weather App

I’ve been rocking with WKYT First Alert Weather since it was downloadable on Windows XP. Can’t go anywhere without it.

Okay

I am using this app cause previous one meant for a state below me no longer works for me although it did up until like 2-3 months ago. So this one’s local but it’s not the best. No alert options for lightening. Somehow I get alerts on ai version of ai person talking about something, so turned off all alerts. Last few days was not showing anything on radar not ANYWHERE even when zoomed out to see all of United States. Yet in the 24hpur future it showed like rain or whatever in other states. So deleted and reinstalled. Now works okay but I’m not sure the temps are accurate. Which is so frustrating. I watch a meterologist on YouTube to get up to date info on storms even if my state is not often mentioned it’s more reliable as if I need to prepare or not.
