### 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.

### 2/5 — Update crashes

*2019-06-05, version 4.8.600*

I've relied on this app for so long to know weather patterns in my area. Unfortunately, the newest update causes the app to crash. Every time I open the app, it starts to load then immediately crashes. Please fix soon.

### 3/5 — App Crashes

*2015-01-08, version 2.7.2000*

This is a great app as long as it doesn't crash. The app needs to be debugged.

### 2/5 — WLTX APP

*2012-11-26, version 2.3*

I used this app for over a year with no issues, I loved it. Last week I updated my apps and now this app will not work, it loads and 1 second after it loads the weather it disappears.....just shuts down by itself. I ended up deleting it and now downloaded TWC app. So disappointed, wish I could have continued using WLTX.

### 1/5 — ZERO

*2012-09-26, version 2.3*

I've always enjoyed this app, BUT, then the Apple map changed everything. It blows up, time laps only shows a bleep of the activity.  Sad day with IOS 6!

### 3/5 — Good, with room for improvement.

*2012-03-13, version 2.0.1*

Love the basemap and level of detail as you zoom in. Radar detail is good and it refreshes automatically well. In other words the actual radar portion of this app is great! 

Where it could improve is with the layout. Huge banner on the top, huge legend, huge forecast. Also, no iPad "HD" version. This would blow everything else out of the water with a cleaned up interface and an iPad version.

### 5/5 — Weather APP

*2010-11-15, version 1.4*

This is one of the best well done weather apps out. Even if you do not live in Columbia SC, there is information for everyone. Everything works and is up to date. The radar is smooth and can be positioned anywhere in the USA. I use it 2-3 times a day because it is simply so easy and all the informantion is at my finger tips. I love the data positioned in the lower banner which does not interfere with the radar at all. The small ad banner does not concern me at as either. Well done... now if you could just broadcast locally in HD you would be complete.

### 5/5 — 10x better than their weather page!

*2010-11-10, version 0*

Don't have a lot of good things to say about LTX in general but their weather app is top notch.

### 5/5 — Best Free weather app out there

*2010-09-27, version 0*

Love the map with overlays of storm tracks and even earthquakes. Great layout and tons of information.  Animated radar with pinch and zoom. Awesome app. Can enter any location as "home" so you don't have to be from Columbia to use it.

### 5/5 — The best weather app!!!

*2010-09-22, version 0*

I love this! I ran across it mysteriously! This weather app is very detailed and u can get alerts as well!! I would recommend this applacation to anyone who checks the weather every single day like me!!!! :-) so gooooo GET IT!!!!

### 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..

### 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?!

### 1/5 — No warning

*2017-01-22, version 4.4.500*

You would think a weather app would warn you of bad weather. We have had several tornado warning here in Columbia not once did this app warn me. All all notifications are on

Your weather app is the most user friendly of all the local stations.  PLEASE don't update and change it!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2012-06-24, version 2.0.4*

Love being able to get on and see how close a storm is and how much time I have until it comes.

### 5/5 — Yeah!!  Back to 5 Stars
