### 1/5 — TMI

*2026-04-24, version 6.1.601*

Way too much on the Home Screen now   The update brought in a huge weekly forecast that cuts the view of the screen almost in half     Too much already

### 1/5 — Earthquake option

*2026-03-09, version 6.1.601*

After this last update, it only shows small earthquakes, when I look on my iPad where I did not do the update they show tons of larger earthquakes on the west side of the ring of fire and the dots are huge. They are no longer showing the size based on the size of the earthquake..

### 2/5 — Clunky

*2026-01-31, version 6.1.401*

The most recent update creates a clunky and cluttered display. The tools are placed in a way that reduces the size of the map and viewing area. One thing I liked was how clean and streamlined this app looked. Now it looks dated and too cluttered.

### 1/5 — Latest update is a bust

*2026-01-31, version 6.1.401*

The ads at top of screen took up enough space and now the app features were moved from side of screen to bottom. Terrible loop speed and duration.  Previous version was best weather radar app available. Now it’s useless

### 1/5 — Update awful

*2026-01-29*

Can't see half 
the screen   Good bye WLTX   Hello WIS

### 1/5 — Weather forecast

*2025-07-30, version 5.17.706*

Find a different line of work, maybe y’all can be door greeters at Walmart because y’all can’t forecast your way out of a wet paper bag

### 1/5 — Weather forecast

*2023-04-06*

Find a different line of work, maybe y’all can be door greeters at Walmart because y’all can’t forecast your way out of a wet paper bag

### 1/5 — Very seldom correct

*2022-09-03, version 5.4.932*

Do not trust this app if you want to do outdoor activities. Can’t make plans more than 1 hour in advance. Whoever updates the forecast has got good. Never be correct and still get paid.

### 1/5 — Faulty alert system

*2022-06-30, version 5.4.932*

Have maybe gotten 1-2 alerts in the last 6 months while other local weather apps are sending alerts as it should.

I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling and tinkering with every setting both within the app and on my phone and still no alerts beyond the 1-2 I got roughly 2-3 months ago.

### 1/5 — Ads…

*2022-04-05, version 5.4.932*

Severe weather/tornado warnings but I have to wait for the ads before I can view emergency information?!
