The icon for earthquakes has no description as far as how many hours the go back and how long they stay. ### 2/5 — Just ok *2025-05-24, version 5.17.606* This is my local weather station but this app is lacking. First the daily weather almanac is annoying and you can’t turn it off. 2nd the radar doesn’t show live radar half the time when you need it to. If there was a better app for local weather I wouldn’t have this one. The daily weather almanac annoys me to no end!!! ### 3/5 — How it works *2025-04-02, version 5.17.606* It used to work but now it says the rain just stopes and doesn’t move for like ever so I will stop using this until they fix this problem. ### 3/5 — Radar *2024-07-05, version 5.15.407* I don’t know if anyone has noticed but the radar is not working correctly. For the last week it has been off. Every time it storms I go to look at what to expect, and it’s showing nothing in my area. ### 1/5 — Ad opens without clicking *2023-11-10, version 5.11.500* The past few days, it CONSTANTLY leaves the app and opens an ad, that I haven’t even seen or touched, in my browser. This is ridiculous!! Either fix it or there’s no need to use this app. It makes it useless! ### 2/5 — Overkill *2023-03-25, version 5.7.302* Make a way to turn off all the warnings of the radar. You can’t see anything because the screen is fifty different colors during a storm event. I have to go to AccuWeather to actually see the radar returns. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2020-07-28, version 5.0.600* After there performance improvement app stopped working. Saying not available at your location. My location never changed. ### 2/5 — Very difficult to read *2020-04-22, version 4.10.2705* Not sure the designers of this app ever looked at their last update. It’s white text on a blue bkgd and it’s almost impossible to read. There’s no contact info to tell anyone this. It’s really annoying, because it’s not a bad app, otherwise. ### 1/5 — Can’t get it to work *2019-12-29, version 4.10.2002* Has worked fine for years and just stopped ### 4/5 — 4.10.2002 update 👎 *2019-12-29, version 4.10.2002* Since the update the app WILL NOT load unless I force close it then reopen. I prefer this app to the weather channel app cause it loads so much faster but with this bug it’s now slower. Please look into this. ### 2/5 — Works, don’t work. Currently not worth the hype. *2019-12-28, version 4.10.2002* See title. ### 4/5 — Lock up *2019-12-27, version 4.10.2002* Still locks up. I have to delete and then open again. ### 1/5 — Use to be good app *2019-12-27, version 4.10.2002* Now have to remove/reload each time I want to look at it otherwise it just stales. ### 1/5 — White letters on light blue background *2019-09-21, version 4.10.700* Too hard to read! Going somewhere else for my weather. ### 1/5 — Poorly run *2019-07-13, version 4.8.901* Paxton media group should let the audience decide who to keep and who to let go but no you will keep pretty boy blond from Pittsburgh. Then why not put his voice on the radar app. You still have Jennifer’s months after she was let go. You people are a disgrace. ### 1/5 — Bad *2019-05-29, version 4.8.600* I hate the new map! ### 1/5 — Won’t even open anymore *2019-05-21, version 4.8.600* This was one time my fav. I bragged on it. It started to have glitches like it would not open the first time or take a long time to open now when I click on it, it will immediately close its self. I’m sure if it worked fine at one time it can work fine again, but until then I’m deleting it. I’ll check back in about a month to see how it is running. I’ll update my review at that time. ### 1/5 — App will not open *2019-05-12, version 4.8.500* Updated 5/12/19, app will not open. ### 3/5 — Wpsd radar *2018-07-01, version 4.6.2101* Just locks up. No particular rhyme or reason. Just does. Am reinstalling one more time. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Could be much better *2026-07-28, version 6.2.517* You get a video update in the morning that often freezes up or gets cut off. Then you get a dog walking forecast that is pretty much the same as the morning update just a few minutes later. No video update from the noon broadcast or five or 6 o’clock broadcast, only the 10 o’clock broadcast. They have multiple opportunities to give video updates, but choose not to. Weekend is even worse with very little updates and not at all on Sundays. Forecast section will say 40% chance of rain and then when you click at the details it’ll say 60% chance of rain in the morning and clear that evening. Pretty much just an overblown thermometer that warns you about severe weather. ### 1/5 — Radar Doesn’t Work *2026-06-21, version 6.1.501* Since the last 2 updates, radar is garbage! Doesn’t work. Put it back like it was please ### 1/5 — No Longer Works *2026-06-21, version 6.1.501* As of the last week or so, the radar no longer works. This was my go-to weather app. Please fix the bugs! ### 1/5 — Radar Broken *2026-06-20, version 6.1.501* I’ve used the app for years, no problems at all. The last few weeks along with several storms, the radar doesn’t work at all. As much as I use the radar, especially through bad storm, it sucks I have to change. ### 1/5 — What happened to the radar *2026-06-17, version 6.1.501* As of recently the only radar you can see on the app is the future which is never accurate. You no longer can see the current and past radar and it’s right in the middle of storm season. I’ve sworn by this app for years and now it’s going downhill. Fix this please. ### 1/5 — Last update sucks *2026-03-15, version 6.1.501* Don’t bother down loading as when you look at the map during a tornado warning it only show the color of a thunderstorm. NO STARS ### 1/5 — Weather *2025-03-30, version 5.17.606* I click on the video to watch the weather and it states can’t play video requested and the App Store isn’t letting me update the app ### 1/5 — Spammy Notifications *2024-08-31, version 5.15.407* They’ve started to do “Daily Almanac” push notifications that you can’t turn off without turning off ACTUAL weather notifications. You know. Actual weather. The thing I downloaded this app for. Annoying and disappointing. ### 1/5 — App won’t open on Apple iPhone 15 *2024-01-15, version 5.11.500* Tried several times to open app but all it does is open and goes away. ### 1/5 — Corrupt *2023-11-12, version 5.11.500* Recently after clicking on the app, it automatically opens a fake Amazon page in safari! This is ridiculous! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Murray Kentucky *2018-10-06, version 4.7.401* Best weather Radar in the App Store and it’s FREE!!! ### 5/5 — Latest update fixed the crash issue *2017-08-29, version 4.4.300* With the last update to the WPSD weather app, the crash issue has been resolved and now I can keep an eye on upcoming weather. Thanks for resolving that issue WPSD! ### 5/5 — Well *2017-01-16, version 4.4.300* Finally working ### 5/5 — Latest Update Fixed It! *2017-01-13, version 4.4.300* This is once again my go-to weather app. It opens quickly and works as it should. I find this to be the simplest weather app to use. I especially like the radar map. ### 5/5 — first & only review *2015-02-15, version 2.7.16* it's a cool app, I downloaded it because of a snow storm ### 5/5 — Simple App-Love it! *2014-05-27, version 2.7.11* Thanks WPSD! I enjoy your app and its user friendly layout!! ### 5/5 — Very helpful *2014-04-28, version 2.7.11* It was very quick and helpful when we needed it. ### 5/5 — Love it *2012-10-01, version 2.3* I like how I am able to see so many days in the future. Thank you WPSD! ### 5/5 — Excellent! *2011-05-10, version 1.6* Great source of local informative wheather information and more.. Five Stars! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2011-05-03, version 1.6* Easier to use and better then the weather channel app --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
