Sometimes Channel nine will mention Jonas Ridge temperature. But not available on channel 9 weather app. ### 4/5 — Ty *2025-04-06, version 5.17.606* Ty for makeing this is the only one I use ### 2/5 — Hit & Miss *2024-08-11, version 5.15.415* Weather reporting not consistent.. especially on weekends. I don’t want a video from 13 hours ago. I don’t mind 4 or 5 hours ago. Way too many video advertisements! Very frustrating. ### 2/5 — Way off lately *2023-08-29, version 5.10.504* The forecast shown on app doesn’t even come close to match their live, and video recorded forecast. ### 2/5 — Weather *2023-08-29* It’s too confusing, most of the time. I don’t want videos from yesterday or last week. Want to click the news.. half the time it doesn’t work. Commercials too many. Thinking of changing stations. Too, bad, I like the meteorologists ### 4/5 — Don’t rain on my road *2022-07-10, version 5.5.804* So many times when it is raining in Rock Hill City on our road it doesn’t. Like the storm yesterday, my daughter lives in town just a couple of blocks from the fountain, poured down at her house didn’t rain at all here. So funny we say it don’t rain on Dunlap Roddey Rd. It like stopes at the end of our road , maybe a few yards will get some but not many. This happens a lot. But got some last night. LOL ### 5/5 — AWESOME WEATHER APP!! *2022-03-23, version 5.4.901* No matter where I go I can always get the latest and greatest local weather report and especially the local radar plus warnings well in advance of all types of hazardous weather storms…. AND THEIR ACCURATE!! Best weather app of all of them and I’ve tried many, this one is a keeper…and a user for your weather forecast!!David ### 2/5 — Hourly viewing *2022-03-05, version 5.4.901* Would be great to be able to see the weather hourly and to click on that day and see outlays for each day ### 2/5 — Ad’s Ruin App *2021-12-08, version 5.4.901* Enjoyed the app until they started making you watch an ad before the video. Get a notification of “Breaking News”, tap on it to see the “Breaking News” and have to endure a 30 second video ad before seeing the “Breaking News”. By the time the ad finish’s, the news conference or video about the situation is concluding or you have missed major portion of the information. ### 5/5 — WSOC-TV *2021-09-18, version 5.3.904* Their weather app is the best that I have ever used, it alerts me well ahead of what is on it’s way. I would recommend this app to anyone it gets a Thumbs up from me. ### 5/5 — Great job! *2021-09-01, version 5.3.904* I am 51 years old and I have been watching channel 9 news and weather since I was a young boy having to change the channels on grandma and grandpa’s TV by hand, turned the knob😂 I drive a truck and haul logs all day long so I am outdoors all day and I’ll follow yawls forecast and radar all day long! Keep up the great work I will try to get some videos or photos when I’m out in the weather! God bless all! ### 3/5 — Dew pt. & accuracy with some emoting on air *2021-08-04, version 5.3.600* Since the station no longer accepts email, we’ll use the app. Neither the iPhone app nor the part time chief meteorologist provide Dew point, but every other station in the area does. I will not watch someone who can’t enunciate, slurs and emotes over weather and is usually wrong. I will also not watch anyone who drools over whiz-bang radar at the expense of ignoring the balance of the viewing area. As for the app, put the dew point in the iPhone app and you have 5 stars. You have radar options. In the meantime, I’ll watch Keith and Ashley, or another station when they’re not on. ### 5/5 — Review *2021-07-08, version 5.3.600* Love the channel nine news crews they are great with weather ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Poorly design and executed local weather app *2026-08-04, version 6.2.508* I tested the three local weather station apps (WCNC, WSOC & WBTV) and WCNC was by far the most accurate and best designed user interface. WCNC is well designed and is enjoyable to use. WCNC is not cluttered with distracting ad’s and seems more accurate. Well done WCNC and shame on WSOC & WBTV for using a third party weather app (both are very similar) that is focused on pushing trashy ad’s like Temu and Morris Jenkins. ### 1/5 — They ruined it. *2026-04-30, version 6.1.601* Now when they send you a severe weather warning and you click on the warning for the details, it sends you to a video (with an ad) you have to wait for. Before you could just click the warning and READ the information quickly to see if it was pertinent for your area and have time to take action. What an absolute joke of an app now. Moving elsewhere. ### 1/5 — Something Changed *2024-05-10, version 5.13.804* I used to rely heavily upon this app for my daily Weather checks as well as severe weather updates. Over the last month or so I noticed that it rarely functions properly. We recently had some severe weather come through my area and the app provided little to no information. The radar showed absolutely nothing and was not functioning. Not sure what changes were made recently, but I’m definitely uninstalling and choosing something more reliable. ### 1/5 — Interrupts phone calls *2023-06-26, version 5.7.404* I am deleting this app today! This app keeps interrupting my phone calls over and over and you cannot hear the other person speaking! It could be your father’s last dying breath and words, and it will interrupt what they are saying and you can never get that back again! I am over this! ### 1/5 — WSOC-TV *2023-02-25, version 5.7.301* No notifications ### 1/5 — Fake weather *2022-07-21, version 5.5.804* Never gets the weather right with all this technology……it was better in the 80s and 90s …..deleting app due to fake news ### 1/5 — 🤬 *2022-04-19, version 5.4.901* Thanks for waking me at 3 am to let me know that there is a frost advisory in my area! ### 1/5 — Forecast *2021-01-26, version 5.1.601* Today was not at all what you forecasted so I would give 0 stars but it made me give you one! ### 1/5 — Awful *2019-12-13, version 4.10.800* White on blue letters are awful ### 1/5 — Update issues *2019-06-08, version 3.3.4* ..... and now unless you buy into the iphone new device every six month madness, this app no longer supports most previous IOS ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Weather forecast *2026-05-03, version 6.1.601* Really Great & That’s on All levels of the weather even across the country- SanDiego, Ca. * my son is in the Navy there!🥰 ### 5/5 — Weather *2025-11-06, version 5.17.705* Thank you for providing info regarding weather! SUCH DO APPRECIATE 💕🎈💕 ### 5/5 — Love my WSOC APP *2025-05-08, version 5.17.606* I absolutely love my WSOC APP. It has kept me and my family apprised of many thunderstorm warnings and even a recent tornado warning, which prompted us to take pillows, blankets, flashlights and, of course my iPhone into the most interior first floor room of our home. It was pretty packed when you added the dogs, but we would never think of not including them in our safe space. They are family. I’m going to get on my soap box here as an animal advocate and rescuer and say to all of those people who have dogs tied to a tree out in their back yards that are often just left out there with no shelter, MAYBE food and water in a scum laden bowl, IF THE ARE LUCKY…if you are not going to bring your dog(s) inside and make them part of your family, WHY DID YOU GET THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE? It’s a documented, scientific fact that dogs have feelings and unconditional love for their humans. You can harm them over and over and although they have no idea why, their only goal in life is to please you. They may mean nothing to you, but to them, you are their person, their whole life. If you’re not going to make them a part of your family, PLEASE TAKE THEM TO A NO-KILL SHELTER AND GIVE THEM A CHANCE TO FIND A FOREVER HOME WITH A FAMILY WHO WILL MAKE THEM PART OF THEIRS!! 🐕🦮🐕‍🦺. Sorry, WSOC for spring boarding off your review, but hopefully 🤞 🙏🏼 my words might get through to even just one person and one dog 🐶 might get a new family. Again, the WSOC APP is definitely one you need to add to your phone immediately. Whether iPhone or Android, you’ll get updates, live radar, etc. All the things you need to keep you and your loved ones safe in any kind of weather!! ### 5/5 — Weather *2024-08-13, version 5.15.415* Good weather app ### 5/5 — Weather Geek *2024-08-04, version 5.15.415* Best radar feed for the weather geek I am ! And I have tried them all. Alert function is zip specific so I don’t get alerts from a distant local. ### 5/5 — Keeps me informed of weather *2024-05-05, version 5.13.804* Great app ### 5/5 — The ONLY weather app I trust *2024-01-18, version 5.11.503* Born and raised in the Charlotte metro area. WSOC-TV Weather is the FIRST to have a local Doppler radar. National Weather Service has Charlotte in a radar black hole because of the lay of the land from the foothills through the Piedmont. WSOC-TV has been my GO TO weather and news source since the late 1970’s. I trust them that much. I survived Hurricane Hugo thanks to them even though they lost their television transmission tower ### 5/5 — John Ahrens fan… *2023-05-14, version 5.7.404* WSOC-TV is my go to for news and weather. Been a fan of John Ahrens for years. ### 5/5 — Update *2022-06-28, version 5.5.804* It’s Tuesday morning… app still has Monday forecast for today… update it! Current forecast… ### 5/5 — Good weather app *2022-06-22, version 5.5.804* WSOC-TV weather app is the best local app I have found. Very user friendly. Other channels’ apps have too many ads. A weather alert sounds and some of them take me to an add. Not so with WSOC-TV. It is easy to use radar to show what you want to see. I recommend it. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
