But I’m frustrated that it’s constantly freezing and forcing me to restart my phone in order for it to work. I just got a new iPhone 16 Pro, and it’s still freezing on me. Happens way too often, so I’m going to delete it and try WSBT’s. If you fix it, I would love to use it again. ### 3/5 — Fix it *2024-04-27, version 5.12.707* This app is very slow. Can you make it faster? I also am a kid and make it child proof ### 3/5 — Liked old way *2023-09-06, version 5.10.500* I really liked the old way that this app was presented. I like to see the seven day forecast in a row and the 16 day forecast in a row.It was nice to see the forecast presented with pictures of the sun, or sun and clouds, or rain. ### 2/5 — Can you do something about Ads? *2023-07-07, version 5.10.500* This app is fine but I am switching because of the horrible relentless Temu ads! Really getting tired of seeing sex toys every time I want to check the weather! ### 2/5 — Weather radar *2023-04-22, version 5.7.300* I like the previous radar map MUCH more - this newer one is more limiting - hate that it scrolls through the hours - I like the full screen older version. ### 2/5 — Meh *2021-04-07, version 5.2.500* There are no breakdowns for each day on the daily forecasts. ### 2/5 — Not there yet *2019-04-03, version 4.7.1000* I really wanted to like this app since it’s from my home town, however it isn’t there yet. It painstaking slow, when i clock out for a second it has to reload...i will use a quicker app. I do like the short videos each day and other than being slow, the interface itself is decent ### 5/5 — Long load time .... *2018-10-10, version 4.7.301* .... sometimes doesn’t load at all. I use this on iPhone 8. I like the fact there are various sounds depending on the type of weather but “clearing tonight” for example shouldn’t be classed as an “alert”. Has potential but not too different from other weather apps out there IMO ### 5/5 — Best weather appointment South Bend! *2018-05-16, version 4.6.1601* I love the interface that this weather app has to offer. Everything you need is on the front screen of the app. People will complain that this app tracks your location, but that is only to show weather conditions where you are and are going to. I love how I can catch my favorite weather team on the go! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No story *2026-06-20, version 6.2.512* I often get pop ups about news - but when I click on the pop up for more information, all I get is one commercial after another or it takes me to a completely different story. I have yet to get the actual story that the pop up was about! ### 1/5 — Ads *2025-03-29, version 5.17.511* Too many ads ### 1/5 — Hate this app *2024-08-28, version 5.15.412* I love the WNDU news app but for checking the weather being forced to download and open another app is ridiculous. Too many apps! Should all be in one app. ### 1/5 — Weather *2023-04-28, version 5.7.300* I miss how it was ### 1/5 — The map! *2023-03-15, version 5.7.300* The new map is terrible I have switched the WSBT to see weather map Can’t believe many people like the new format It’s so hard to interpret the map ### 1/5 — Poor *2023-02-23, version 5.7.300* This was very good before you changed it a week or 2 ago. Now it doesn’t show storms of rain or snow. It’s pitiful and pathetic now. I can’t rely on it anymore ### 1/5 — Fix bugs *2018-12-29, version 4.7.803* This app always freezes when I go on the radar as well as when I open the app it kicks me out a couple of times before it even lets me in. ### 2/5 — Over-alerting *2026-04-22, version 6.1.601* I set my preferences to only alert for severe weather yet I get constant notifications all day for non-emergent things. I appreciate the alerts when it is truly urgent, but I am getting way more than that. ### 2/5 — Very in accurate *2025-07-25, version 5.17.706* Forecasts are very inaccurate. Especially in the hourly predictions. It can be raining with the radar coverage showing the next 4 hrs with heavy rain and still have predictions and current conditions clear with 10% chance . Same with snow. Would think a local weather station would be more accurate than AccuWeather app but not the case. ### 2/5 — Wndu weather *2023-07-08, version 5.10.500* I’m upset that the weather information selections(screen )have changed . Trying to look for the local radar is not obvious when looking at the clouds & rain. My travel during the day and jobs outside depends on my jobs.. And on the personal level YES ., I do like to ride my motorcycle . ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Made the switch *2026-06-18, version 6.2.512* Had a app to another station that was supposedly accurate however, I noted much shortcomings and their live radar delays and discrepancies in accuracy, when you are dealing with severe weather you want to make sure you have the most up-to-date information and accuracy and an app that is easy to follow. Highly recommend channel 16 mobile app. ### 5/5 — Trust you guys more! *2026-02-08, version 6.1.302* Get a better/honest opinion of what’s happening! ### 5/5 — Weather *2025-12-05, version 5.17.801* Thanks so much for the great job you do in reporting the weather and conditions of the Michiana area. It helps when we have to travel and how to dress for the day! We’ve been watching since Dick Addis and then Gary Seiber. So many names from the last 50+ years! Andrew and Melissa are favs currently! Thanks! ### 5/5 — Best weather app *2025-03-19, version 5.17.511* I grew up watching wndu and they haven’t let me down yet. Most accurate I have found. ### 5/5 — The weather app. *2023-03-20, version 5.7.300* The best app. ### 5/5 — WNDU weather *2023-02-25, version 5.7.300* I check it often and it’s very accurate. WNDU is my favorite to watch. ### 5/5 — Lightning strikes, heavy winds, tornado warnings *2022-06-12, version 5.4.932* Does your application show timely weather warnings as it is happening? ### 5/5 — Review *2022-06-01, version 5.4.932* Always right in point. I can count on their forecast to be right on. So dependable. These people know what they are talking about. You can plan your day with their forecast. ### 5/5 — There Happiness wakes me up *2022-03-21, version 5.4.932* Enjoy the smiles and the energy, missing Matt Y. ### 5/5 — Weather *2021-06-28, version 5.3.502* After trying several other weather apps I found WNDU weather app is the very best 🤗 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
