What's New in WRIC StormTracker 8 Weather

In the middle…

Pros:
• Not as many ads as the other stations.
• Good interface.
• County/State power outages.

Cons:
• Viper radar isn't as impressive as the other stations.
• No Satellite setting to see your own house or others.
• You cannot see lightning alongside radar, etc. Only one thing at a time. I haven't noticed storm tracks with hail settings like other Richmond area stations.

The Viper Radar needs a tune up to be as impressive as other stations do; it seems like you're lagging behind.

Great but Can’t show on iwatch

This is a great app. But why can’t I get it to show up on my iwatch like my other weather app do?

New update is awful

Latest update won’t work on my phone. Keep getting an error message that it can’t register for push notifications.

Problem

App not working since update

Severe weather alerts-CRUCIAL

This new update is way more advanced than the previous version and is miles ahead of the local competition. Setting up the custom alerts for multiple locations is a great way to know if your loved ones are in the path of bad weather. The interactive radar is really good, and the video forecasts are by my favorite meteorologists
