So first off (and my favorite) NO ADS BEFORE THE VIDEOS!!! Secondly, more user friendly, and 3rd the graphics are much better. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2014-08-08, version 2.7.13.1* So cool ### 5/5 — Great app *2014-07-15, version 2.7.13* Great app👍👍👍😊😊😊 ### 5/5 — Awesome *2014-07-06, version 2.7.13* After using this new weather app from WPDE I deleted all others! It is awesome and so accurate. Try the "future" radar feature! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ackward *2017-07-03, version 4.4.600* Poor and clumsy ### 2/5 — Please fix the alerts!! *2023-06-23, version 5.10.401* Since the update I’m alerted constantly (especially with the weather this week) with no consistency and no options other than to have the alerts on or off. I don’t need to be alerted to lightning 12 miles away for that it will start raining in 10 minutes even though it’s already raining. Can you change the alerts to a certain timeframe (rain) or distance (lightning) so my phone isn’t going off so often? Please and thank you! ### 3/5 — Front Page Ad *2024-01-27, version 5.12.702* I don’t mind there being an ad there but does it have to be for 20 seconds EVERY TIME I close and come back in? Also, my friend has an Android phone and I have an iPhone. He never gets the opening ad at all. What’s up? ### 3/5 — Radar slowness *2023-07-07, version 5.10.500* Even with high speed internet the radar is super slow to load, other apps load instantly. ### 4/5 — Marine/Beach forecast add to site *2023-06-27, version 5.10.401* Please add marine/ beach forecast ### 5/5 — My Forcast *2026-06-15, version 6.2.512* That’s what Ed said! ### 5/5 — My weather go too *2025-06-21, version 5.17.612* I really like this app it keeps me updated with the weather and lets me know how to plan my days I really like the fact that it sends me messages when lightning is close to our area ### 5/5 — Moved from PA *2025-02-01, version 5.17.508* We moved from the Hershey PA in November to MB area and thought we might miss WHTM 27 with PSU weather guys…..but Ed P has been a nice replacement. 😎 ### 5/5 — This worked great *2024-08-19, version 5.15.406* I signed up for the WPDE Weather app when I went to a hurricane preparedness meeting with ed Pietrowski in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina . I spend half my time in SC and half my time on Long Island. I was getting alerts tonight severe thunderstorm. I assumed it’s was for Myrtle till I started hearing the loud boom. to my surprise. it follows me anywhere I go excellent. ### 5/5 — Great! *2024-05-23, version 5.13.1000* Meets expectations ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent *2024-02-12, version 5.12.702* Excellent ### 5/5 — Weather *2023-10-23, version 5.11.502* This is the best weather app ever ### 5/5 — WPDE Weather Authority Rocks *2023-07-20, version 5.10.500* I love this weather app from the Grand Strand. ### 5/5 — 5⭐️ *2022-01-16, version 5.3.503* Looking forward to seeing Ed and the weather forecasts for Scotland County on this app ### 5/5 — Not A Review *2020-04-13, version 4.10.2708* Can my iPhone be set to give me important alerts even when my automatic Do Not Disturb setting is on? Sorry this is not a review. But WPDE is awesome so I’m giving them 5 stars!
