### 1/5 — Weather app

*2023-06-21, version 5.10.401*

Never has up to date forecasts anymore if any in mornings.

### 1/5 — Weather app

### 1/5 — Weather app

*2018-02-06, version 4.5.1910*

Not working at all for me

### 1/5 — Not the same Forecast as WRGB

*2016-10-27, version 4.3.600*

This app uses the National Weather Service Forecast. It has nothing to do with WRGB the station or the Weather Authority of Steve LaPointe, etc. Most people who download this app are under the assumption it is the more accurate station's (Steve's) forecast. Unfortunately it is not. More of a generic app. A shame!
I confirmed this information.

### 1/5 — Wrgb 6 news

This worked fine until I updated today. Now live stream doesn't work.

### 5/5 — Frequent & Accurate

*2026-05-23, version 6.1.601*

Having lived in the area my entire life has taught me our weather can be fickle. It’s great to have a reliable, local source for accurate updates at regular intervals. I especially like having access to Steve LaPointe’s video updates.
