Wanna check the weather? Get ready for an add to pop up every 5-10 seconds that you need to X out of to actually read anything. Wanna read the news? Get ready for an annoying body shop ad that makes you X out of it of or your forced to watch their video. The app itself really isn’t of a bad design but the ads are too much that will ultimately force you to use a competitors app. ### 1/5 — Amazon contest spam *2018-03-12, version 4.5.1801* First time I opened this app, one of those contest to win an amazon gift card popped up. This app has been deleted ### 1/5 — Amazon pop up ad must stop *2018-03-12, version 4.5.1801* Cut the crap with this pop up. Every 10 seconds! ### 1/5 — Crashes *2017-01-31* Since latest update, now crashes when I try to open it. ### 1/5 — Need IOS 6 or higher *2015-01-26, version 3.1.1100* Drats. Was looking forward to downloading app until I read the system requirements. At least I have batteries in my radio. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App keeps crashing *2024-06-30* Every time I click on the severe weather the app crashes ### 1/5 — App is garbage *2024-05-26* Just another way to shove ads down your throat. The app is, and has been horrible for years. I recently tried to revisit being the website is so bad…app is still horrible. The worse and most aggravating part is the “weather now” video. If you accidentally hit the screen, it pauses the video and then forces you to watch another ad before restarting. This is after already watching an ad on the start. This is sneaky and intentional. I’m literally deleting it as I write this. ### 1/5 — Used to be Great *2021-09-13* For over a week now there are no weather videos. All it says is “no content available “ ### 1/5 — App is garbage *2021-08-31, version 5.3.400* The app is, and has been horrible for years.

It’s too bad because I always tune to Channel 12 for my weather. ### 1/5 — WPRI weather app *2019-09-02* Why can’t I bring this app up on my device it’s asking for password I haven’t had this issue before thought the app was free. What’s up??? ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2019-07-12* Can’t deal with any more Fagan Door ads. Warnings are not up to the minute. When u get them at all, the worst has passed. ### 1/5 — WPRI Weather *2019-05-14* The App would be okay without the loud ongoing Fagan Door commercial that can’t be stopped when X-ing. Since I cannot stop the ad I’ve deleted the app ### 1/5 — What happened to Eyewitness weather *2018-07-23* This use to be a weather only app that worked perfectly with no glitches. Now it has transformed into the Eyewitness News app that has no weather videos. Michelle was the best each morning. Sadly, I'll have to find another RI weather app. ### 1/5 — WAY 2 MANY ADS -Unusable! *2018-05-24* Had to remove this app. Unfortunate because WPRI is quite accurate at the weather forecast. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 10pm *2020-04-03* My AccuWeather App said rain stops at 10pm. This App said No, the rain doesn’t stop. This was the second time this App was correct, AccuWeather wrong. 2 to zip, and I need to dry the dog off. ### 4/5 — Ads.? What ads? *2018-05-27, version 4.6.1600* I see the reviews complaining about ads making this app unusable. I don’t get ads except the occasional single ad that I X out of and that’s that. Most time I don’t even get that, just a banner that doesn’t interfere with anything. Never once saw an Amazon add. The forecasts are good. The radar excellent. I use this weather app more than any other. ### 3/5 — The weather video is no longer accessible *2021-09-16* I count on the weather videos for updated forecasts & it has always been reliable & informative along with the radar, but now the Weather Video is no longer accessible & just shows a black screen. Please bring back the weather videos on this app. Thank you ### 3/5 — Ads on top of ads! *2015-07-30* Banner ads are fine, but full screen pop-up ads as well? The funniest part is that the pop-ups are from the same advertisers as the banner ads! I can tell you right now that Navigant Credit Union will not be my bank of choice anytime soon! Aside from all that, the app works fine! ### 3/5 — Fix the video *2015-03-06* Pretty decent app but the weather video, my favorite thing about this app, is forever buffering. Takes 10 minutes to watch a 3 minute clip. ### 2/5 — Too many notifications! *2023-09-22* They send the same notifications every hour or every minute when weather is not the best. It’s an added stressor to your busy day or work over the phone. Also there video don’t steam well and they're interruptions with a strong stable connection. ### 2/5 — Used to work *2021-10-28* Can’t get updated videos. Screen is black. Ads work but play repeatedly ### 2/5 — Weather not actually time *2020-08-29* I ave this app for the radar and weather updates, I can honestly say that I am going to delete this app from my local weather station. I get warnings about heavy rain and lightning about 10-15 minutes after it has passed, there is no need to have this if it is not going to be done and act correctly. Very disappointed maybe they are more interested in keeping everyone up to date on the same ole stories instead of actually reporting all news, not what they are told to from their higher ups ### 2/5 — WPRI weather *2020-01-25* With me it’s that stupid Fagan Door, that is sooooooo annoying! ### 2/5 — Needs improvement *2016-12-08* This app used to work flawlessly but lately it keeps crashing if you rotate your device to view a video. After the video ad, a static ad briefly pops up and the app crashes. Had to delete the app & go old school via the Internet to view videos. 😠 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
