### 1/5 — Bad usage of ad’s

*2026-08-09, version 6.2.517*

Let’s just be completely honest here when you put a severe weather alert out and somebody clicks the banner instead of telling us or showing us where the severe weather is occurring in our neighborhood we instead have to wait for a 30 second to one minute long ad to scroll across before you can do anything when severe weather counts seconds matter I believe that is y’all slogan if that’s the case then why would you put an ad in that place for 30 seconds? Why not after we look at the alert? That’s just a really bad way to do things. There could be a tornado warning and instead of getting the warning all we’re getting is some stupid ad for a mattress. Yeah we’re probably gonna need a couple of those after the storm if we survive no thanks to WPXI.

### 5/5 — The Best

*2026-07-06, version 6.2.517*

Absolutely the best weather app for western Pennsylvania..!!!!

### 1/5 — Radar fail

*2026-06-21, version 6.2.517*

Radar has been useless lately. Crashes, and is inaccurate. Wonky as hell.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2026-06-19, version 6.1.601*

Radar function has been broken for weeks.  Had to get a different app

### 3/5 — Good not great

*2026-06-09, version 6.1.601*

Weather seems to always fluctuate, rarely precise

### 1/5 — The worst weather app

*2026-03-06, version 6.1.601*

WPXI use to be one of the best until they were sold in 2020. Now they are the worst!

### 2/5 — Weather update

*2026-02-23, version 6.1.401*

Looked at app for video weather news update. Latest video was from three days ago. With todays technology one would think the new weather could be downloaded simultaneously as it’s being broadcast on television

### 5/5 — Review

*2025-07-16, version 5.16.1702*

Great app dependable

### 3/5 — It’s ok….

*2025-04-25, version 5.16.1702*

I like to check this app for weather for my husbands company so we know what we can and can’t do but it seems like for the area we live in it’s not really very accurate and I get that I’m not in Pittsburgh but I do wish it was more accurate in my area Markleysburg or Farmington Pa

### 4/5 — Please time stamp the videos

*2025-04-14, version 5.16.1702*

I appreciate your “station alerts”, but I am often left wondering if the video pertained to yesterday’s weather or tomorrow’s weather. I wish you would timestamp the videos so I could tell the difference.
