### 1/5 — Why?

*2026-07-07, version 6.2.518*

This last update ruined the app for me. This was always my go to app for weather. It's great that you can customize the radar map with your preferred overlays now, but you have to select your customized radar every time you open the app. If you customize the radar to how you like it, every time you open it, it should open to that map.

### 2/5 — Notifications are annoying

*2026-06-11, version 5.17.710*

The content this weather app provides is great, but the number of notifications I get through it are annoying. I tried limiting them via the notifications setting in the app, but, in the last half hour I got somewhere between 6 and 8 notices. This is a recent change to the way the app behaved in the past. If it continues, I will delete the app.

### 2/5 — Notifications

*2023-11-07*

I'm not getting any notifications at all anymore!

### 4/5 — Great app but did WSVN copy Atlanta News First?

*2023-07-23, version 5.8.501*

The WSVN 7Weather app was and still is a lifesaver during storms. I love how you can go into the app and get the latest without having to pay a monthly subscription or premium to do so like other weather apps such as CHIME. However, there is one flaw and it’s actually not necessary bad. When I was in Atlanta, I manly watched ANF or Atlanta News First. On day 3 or 4 of my trip, there was a thunderstorm that hit my area. I turned on the tv to Atlanta News First and after about 5 or so minutes of watching it, they began to advertise their “First Alert Weather” app which I downloaded. When I opened the app, I was shocked to see that the ANF weather app had an almost an identical graphical interface to that of WSVN. What makes this even more surprising is that ANF and WSVN have different devs. Like I said earlier, this is not necessarily bad but at least try to distinguish your graphical interface from one and other

### 2/5 — App not  working

*2023-04-12, version 5.7.301*

App does not working correctly sometimes you get and hear notifications and sometimes you do not

### 3/5 — Weather app

*2021-06-28, version 5.2.303*

For some reason the app doesn’t open. It keeps crashing.

### 1/5 — Used be great but now audio problems

*2020-05-24, version 5.0.301*

I used to swear by this app but now the videos have no audio 99% of the time. The audio used to be very bad and noisy but it was live-able. I don’t know why broadcast quality audio from the tv station was so noisy but now for several months there has been no audio on the weather videos.

### 5/5 — Deez nuts

*2015-08-27, version 2.7.4*

Hi

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2014-03-21, version 2.6.3*

I love the new and improved app! Easy & clean. Great for on the go news! Totally recommend this to everyone!

### 4/5 — GREAT UPDATE!

*2013-10-23, version 2.6.3*

Hello,
       I just wanted to say I really enjoy the new update to the 7 weather app.

- I like how informative the app's menu is (SPC, open/closures, news, etc)
- I love how easy and clean the daily/hourly format is. Now THAT's user friendly!

- I did find one bug in the app. It's with the iPhone's orientation when sending an email (via the app's support page)...
While typing the message in portrait mode you can see the message, but if you rotate the iPhone to landscape, words are cut off (like its still in portrait mode).
