Can’t even scroll down the home page, anytime you touch to scroll it recognizes as a tap command, thus sending me to pages I don’t want. Used to love this app but I guess I have to use accuweather until this is fixed. Didn’t want to write a review but the app support page is a “404 not found” ### 1/5 — Piece of crap *2023-07-26, version 5.10.500* The latest redesign has made for a useless, congested screen when all I want to do is see how far away the storms are. ### 1/5 — Guru *2023-06-06, version 5.8.500* I don’t need an alert to tell me the weather is going to be pleasant. Should save them for storms & other extremes. ### 1/5 — Never accurate *2021-11-21, version 5.3.502* Never accurate ### 1/5 — Not viable *2020-06-15, version 5.0.402* This app worked pretty well when I first downloaded it a few weeks ago. The radar resolution was amazing. There was the occasional error msg saying, “This application is not available for your location.” It made no sense since my iPad rarely moved more than 30’ and the error wasn’t related to any particular spot. In the last 2 weeks the error has increased to the point where the app rarely opens. This morning I deleted the app and re-downloaded it. No improvement. The app simply doesn’t work for me. Other weather apps work and are able to find my location with minimal problems. ### 2/5 — Needs work *2020-04-09, version 4.10.2707* Any time that I want to view a video for the weather there is always an error play message received. Rarely does it have my location city correct as it tells me I am in a city that is over 15 miles away so I feel most of the information given about severe weather might just be wrong. ### 3/5 — No drama *2025-05-14, version 5.17.610* I don’t want the drama, sensationalizing, or made up words. I want meaningful information. Slow it down a little so the information can be evaluated. ### 3/5 — Not that good. *2021-01-06, version 5.0.1004* I downloaded the APP about a year ago & whenever I open it it’s good for about a minute then gets super sluggish, slow & then constantly freezes up! I update the APP when there’s a new one but I still have the same prob! It’s really really annoying! I just might have to delete it & get something else if this keeps up much longer! ### 4/5 — July 28 2021 *2021-07-29, version 5.3.502* Was really happy with coverage of storms .. Still scary after experiencing the July 2019 weather.. lost multiple trees but luckily nothing damaged house!!!! ### 5/5 — Local *2025-01-22, version 5.17.511* I like the app. Use it all the time. As accurate as possible in a changing climate. ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Channel 7 weather *2023-04-05, version 5.7.301* Love keeping up with up coming accurate weather !!BamBin ### 5/5 — Nice *2022-04-11, version 5.4.948* I use it everyday ### 5/5 — Accuracy *2021-12-27, version 5.4.932* The best app I’ve used for weather ### 5/5 — More weather forecast around Marshfield *2021-08-10, version 5.3.502* You do a really good job around the Wausau area but seem to forget about the Marshfield area and Lindsay chili and parts of Neillsville you are mean TV station to get info ### 5/5 — My favorite weather app *2021-04-08, version 5.2.500* Love this app! Gives me forecasts, current weather conditions and radar even when traveling. Can enter all my favorite places and check their weather as well! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
