I rely on this app everyday and the changes isn’t sitting well with me. ### 2/5 — No Dew Point Indicator *2024-06-06* Recently, the app developer removed the dew point indicator from the app’s Home Screen. That’s a big miss for any weather app… especially in South Florida. ### 3/5 — Not sure *2023-06-28* I’m not sure why but I can only check the radar a few times a day. Once I click on it, if I need to go onto something else & I try to go back to the radar it won’t load. Kind of frustrating. ### 3/5 — Glitches *2023-06-19* Too many glitches ### 4/5 — App not having hurricane tracker *2022-09-18* I'm not sure why this apps not having hurricane tracker anymore where you can see the path of a hurricane on it. I really love using this app but one area they can really improve in as to bring back the hurricane tracker. ### 2/5 — Removed, to many adds *2021-01-11* I tried the app but one third of the page are moving adds, big turn off. The video won’t play audio until you open a player with another add first. Poorly done. ### 3/5 — Partly Cloudy *2018-06-10* App needs some improvements. It’s slow to start (IPhoneX), I assume it’s the same slowness with all phones. The pretty cloud backgrounds when reading the hourly and daily forecasts make it hard to read the white lettering for the actual information your wanting to see. Change the background to a solid color so it’s easier to read the hourly and daily forecasts. ### 2/5 — Don't update *2015-08-06, version 3.9.200* The old version was so much easier to use and view!! I don't need headlines and all the extras they put in. ### 2/5 — Future weather??? *2014-07-01, version 2.7.11* I have this app. When you put the map on it shows the present time. If you push future to see where clouds will continue, it shows from 9 1/2 hours after the present time. Cannot see what's going to happen within the next hour. Not interested for 9 1/2 hours into the future. It has just recently changed to this and it's terrible. Hopefully they'll fix it! ### 4/5 — Missing sound alerts *2013-05-02, version 2.5.1* App is good. But seems to be missing an audible alert ### 4/5 — Owner *2013-05-01, version 2.5.1* Just down loaded on my i4S and the app works well. I would like it to default to my current location and not to West Palm Beach. ### 4/5 — Great Weather App *2013-04-30, version 2.5.1* Nice to have a local weather app with radar! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Good for storm tracking *2025-10-25* But I wouldn’t trust a thing that comes form the Sinclair broadcast group. Just a cluster of reich leaning sycophants who deliver partial biased news. ### 1/5 — Three times reinstalling *2024-07-08* Again having issues of map. Thought the bugs where fixed. ### 1/5 — Second time *2024-06-30* Again having issues of map. Thought the bugs where fixed. ### 1/5 — Review: It may be my phone but the radar is down as much as up. *2023-07-25* Either my phone or your radar is inadiquite ### 1/5 — Used to be good until update *2018-06-24* The last update left me unable to read the daily and hourly details as the background is the same color as the text, looks like they have no plans to change it as it’s been broken for a while now. Better than the weather channel but the white text on a some what white background is ruining it for me. Developers please fix! ### 1/5 — Weather app *2018-04-15* I am supposed to get alerts for weather announced it does not ### 1/5 — Useless *2013-06-09, version 2.5.2* Shows radar or whichever overlay you choose but no underlying maps. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work on IPhone4s *2013-04-13, version 2.5* Won't load. Tries uninstalling and reinstalling but nothing ### 1/5 — App Won't Open on 4S *2013-04-13, version 2.5* The app will not open on my iPhone 4S. I have deleted and redownloaded twice, but no go. The iPad version works flawlessly on my iPad. Not sure what the problem might be. ### 2/5 — Motion too fast *2026-03-08* I don’t like the new app because of the motion speed. I always look at the past to see which direction the rain is coming from. It’s been sped up way too fast from what it was and makes it move kind of jerky. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The 1 to turn 2 *2026-01-16* The 1 to turn 2 ### 5/5 — Informative *2025-05-14* Excellent information given in detail on our weather. I like the graphics on presentations of possible upcoming and past conditions. Thanks ### 5/5 — Favorite weather site *2024-06-04* I love that I can view different views of weather for my family’s out of state. And it is an attribute when planning on traveling. ### 5/5 — Weather *2024-01-31* Love receiving this first thing in the Morning! Thanks! ### 5/5 — The one I always turn to😄 *2023-07-10* Very informative always on top of what’s going on . Love all the news caster’s ### 5/5 — Great app but no response during the intense storm *2023-06-24* We experienced no reception during a horrendous downpour for over an hour ### 5/5 — Great weather app *2018-10-10* I love this weather app it’s the best I can find like accurate weather I think they are the same but this app is on TV so it’s probably better ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2017-06-16, version 4.4.1102* Best app😮 ### 5/5 — The end all be all *2015-02-05* Never looked back! ### 5/5 — Very good *2013-04-19, version 2.5* Love this app!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
