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

Ad

Pop up ad won’t go away

So bad I switched

Loved the old app hate this one. Pictures? I switched to a different channel’s app and I don’t even watch that channel.

8 news weather

I miss the older version. I used to like seeing the temp & humidity & dew point at a glance. Now you have to drill down & no more dew point!

Terry

Go back to the other app. It doesn't log my correct location ever. It showed that the radar was clear while I was watching it rain at my house. I tried really hard not to update it after my husband complained about it but I hit the button by mistake one day. I wouldn't recommend anyone downloading it.

Reliable

The most accurate by far. Always receive an alert far in advance, and find that this station gets it right. No unhelpful drama, just reliable and accurate. The app is well worth having

Wx Ap Review

The old ap was user friendly. This one is not. I don’t need radar for the whole state, just my area—then let me zoom in and out. I Can’t turn the screen to see the whole weeks forecast, and there are many more screens than necessary. It seems like you are trying to be everything to everybody. I’m disappointed.

Too complicated

I like the old app better. I can never find what I am looking for on the new app.

Miss old app

Oh why, why did I update 😡👎🏽👎🏽. This updated version is a 5 steps backwards. Using a photo for your weekly and local weather report is a joke right? And how is a photo from a noon video considered a "current condition"? The radar map is now missing the Storm tracker!!!!! Why would take out the reason you CALLED yourselves the "storm tracker8 app" ? That arrow pointing where a severe storm is headed has saved my tail many times fishing the river and has helped me photograph storms from a safer areas. I've suggested your old app to many friends specifically for the radars accuracy and storm tracking. Now, its late and I have no idea which one is bad or where to go.

New update 👎

The new update is no where near as good
as the old app. The radar is definitely not an improvement.

Go back to the prior version

I used to love the app- but the update changed things for the worse.
Please show the hour by hour forecast easily again and toggling between forecast

There is a bug...

Every time I try to open the app it shuts off.

Update is poor

The information on the updated app is very inferior to the one we were used to. I am deleting it and finding a new one. Amazing how something that works so good is flushed down the toilet in favor of a less informed un-user friendly update. Goes to show people can’t be satisfied with something that is simple, fast, and informative and constantly switch to something “new” or “better.”

Liked the previous version

Hard to navigate, understand and get what I need... The weather today. Looking for another source

Go back to the last version

The last app was way better

Please go back to the old version

The newest version of the app is worse than the old version. It’s not user friendly and harder to navigate.
