A male voice speaks to me saying, “There is heavy rain near your location.” I live alone and this is disconcerting at first. I would like to disable the voice and still receive alerts via tone or some other more appropriate sound. ### 3/5 — Good weather reporting locally but *2022-02-10, version 5.4.940* For up to date CSRA weather, it’s a wonderful app. I ended all notifications (inconvenient for me) because they blast updates a minimum of two times a day, often more. If I’m here, I can see it’s sunny, those updates are totally unnecessary! They had to run a good thing! ### 3/5 — Too much ad content (:-( *2021-08-25, version 5.3.502* Too much ad content! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — WRDW WEATHER *2026-06-18, version 6.2.515* Shows nothing when I tap on it. Just says you are watching this. ### 1/5 — Alerts too late, slow radar *2025-08-19, version 5.17.707* Dont even bother downloading the app. It always alerts way too late for a thunderstorm. When its been pouring down for 15 mins already and you get a “heavy thunderstorm detected in your area” notification said out loud, is a lil too late imo. NEVER has it alerted in time. And the radar only shows a pic in 30mins jumps. Useless. About to delete ### 1/5 — Weather app *2022-03-04, version 5.4.940* I dislike having to watch an ad every time I open app to check weather. ### 1/5 — App crashing *2019-06-21, version 4.8.801* App is crashing unexpectedly this I’m not going to use this app no more please fix this ### 1/5 — Bugs outdated design please improve *2019-04-19, version 4.7.1004* Please fix bugs and lag and the design is A little outdated give is some spice for your people please ### 2/5 — Want accurate weather? *2025-06-15, version 5.17.609* Don’t look here…95% chance of rain? Yeah na, doesn’t rain. 5% chance of rain? RAINS ALL F*ing day! Don’t plan your day according to this app and if you do you’ll be sitting at home all day when you could be fishing. Will delete and just take my chance’s. ### 2/5 — Blog *2025-03-27, version 5.17.511* Constantly opening the Blog section, then Can't get out without closing the app. ### 2/5 — Too busy *2023-02-12, version 5.7.303* Interface is too busy , too many adverts plaiting around . Take a lesson from iPhone weather app which is clear and simple ### 2/5 — Radar *2021-09-21, version 5.3.502* When I choose radar all I get is nothing but cloud cover. Not where the thunderstorms are. ### 3/5 — Overabundance of Ads *2026-03-16, version 6.1.601* Getting a bit annoyed when watching the livestream of the weather only to have a two-minute break of ads every five minutes. And the Spanish ads are completely useless. Otherwise, I love the fantastic weather tracking. ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Live Dopplar Max *2026-06-26, version 6.2.515* This is a very accurate live weather radar. I’ve compared it with the Weather Channel many times over the years. Not just in Augusta- but when traveling too. 💯 ### 5/5 — WRDW Weather *2025-05-08, version 5.17.609* It’s the best layout for a weather app. It gets the job done. ### 5/5 — WRDW *2025-04-17, version 5.17.609* It’s the best channel to watch ### 5/5 — App *2023-09-14, version 5.10.500* Love the app but would like Laurie rogers voice for warning announcements ### 5/5 — Weather *2022-06-16, version 5.4.940* Thanks for alerts and warnings! ### 5/5 — Great coverage *2021-03-18, version 5.2.302* Glad we are safe ### 5/5 — Really great notifications *2020-06-25, version 5.0.600* I downloaded this app back in the winter when there was a day with severe weather and possible tornadoes — the nations weather apps just weren’t giving me the local information I needed. I love this app mostly for its notifications. I’ll hear “news station alert,” and it tells me how far away lightning has struck, etc. Also, the radar map is great (compared to having to pay for Weather.com Premium for the fancy radar). ### 5/5 — Great app for CSRA weather *2020-02-02, version 4.10.2402* Great app with videos from local meteorologists. The local guys keep cool videos in the app like fishing forecasts, ISS viewing times, and river updates. ### 4/5 — Terrible app *2025-03-16, version 5.17.511* Downloaded this app because of bad weather coming in. I deleted it because every time I tried to open it, it would freeze after 5 seconds. Tried it about 5 times and it froze every time. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
