Unfortunately, the recent update includes aggressive advertising (unexpected/auto pop ups with audio and no obvious quit options…) go too far. No ad-less pay option ?? I will be switching to other apps. ### 4/5 — App no longer works *2023-07-21, version 5.8.501* States message telling me to update the app. Nothing showed up in App Store so I deleted and reinstalled with the same result. I have iPhone 13 that is fully up to date. ### 2/5 — Advertisements *2022-05-22, version 5.5.900* I don’t like the advertisement that is near the bar at the bottom of the interactive radar. The bar isn’t as easy to maneuver. It’s alittle quirkie. ### 2/5 — Redundant *2021-10-16, version 5.4.500* Constant pointless notifications that tell me no new information new maps are visually and in practical use worst then previous application update …nothing program wise is updated in app if it isn’t automated by a program only updates bring visual layout changes not actual functionality! Overall you wouldn’t even get a star if you didn’t inform on accurate weather most of the time ### 4/5 — Stop notifications for areas I’m not in!!! *2021-09-17, version 5.4.500* I visit an area and check out the weather for the area then for the next lifetime I get notifications for the weather in that area! For example we went on a Uncle Sam’s boat tour I am still getting notifications for the weather in that area! Went to Niagara Falls I am still getting notifications for a one time trip from that area! Went to Mashpee Massachusetts I am still getting notifications for the area! I have deleted them from my location I have done everything I can and I still get notifications please change the app fir updated so that we do not get notifications for areas we are not in! Please for my sanity. Otherwise like to use the App especially the radar. ### 3/5 — Updating *2021-09-10, version 5.3.905* They don’t keep data updated. Video weather report hasn’t been updated for 3 days. We check out the forecast regularly- when it’s working! ### 3/5 — Please bring back written forecasts *2021-08-19, version 5.3.905* The written forecasts talked in depth about what to expect for a given day and what atmospheric conditions were driving things. This was the feature that set this app apart from the others. Local knowledge and in-depth reporting is the main strength a local weather app has to offer and now it’s gone. The talking head video forecasts are nice (although I don’t watch them) but are not a substitute. ### 5/5 — Much better Application now than before! *2021-07-22, version 5.3.901* I love how intuitive this new News 9 Application is than it was before. ### 5/5 — Website update *2021-07-19, version 5.3.901* I just love the new update, it’s so easy to see the 10 day forecast and the hourly forecast. I’m now using the channel 9 weather forecast for all my weather needs. ### 3/5 — Love the new look but missing info *2021-07-08, version 5.3.901* New look is good but missing some key components. I miss the traditional 7 day forecast and the time cast ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Pop up *2026-06-21, version 6.2.512* They need to remove this Urgent dental add pop up.Cant navigate on the app without constantly popping up. ### 1/5 — Ads are creepy *2026-02-11, version 6.1.301* Been seeing some weird ads. ### 1/5 — Radar *2026-01-15, version 6.1.301* With the new update you made the radar faster than what it was and when you go to radar it starts where it is zoomed out and I have to zoom in so it’s closer to my area put it back the way it was it was fine fix it ### 1/5 — Radar *2026-01-03, version 6.1.301* With the new update you made the radar faster than what it was and when you go to radar it starts where it is zoomed out and I have to zoom in so it’s closer to my area put it back the way it was it was fine ### 1/5 — Let us see local Doppler *2025-12-30, version 5.17.805* You used to have a live stream. Now we get some national junk of radar. A still shot is not good enough. A past timeline or live stream needs to be added back! ### 1/5 — Nexstar *2025-09-18, version 5.17.706* The news team is great, but Nexstar can go fudge itself forever, sideways. ### 1/5 — Poor app *2025-03-31, version 5.17.510* App crashes daily. Not worth the hassle ### 1/5 — Not Great *2025-01-03, version 5.17.507* Very laggy, buggy and out of date. The 24hr radar never works past 12hrs. Trying to play a video is almost impossible. ### 1/5 — Worthless *2021-07-28, version 5.3.901* This thing won’t work off a cell phone signal.it wants an internet connection. That makes it totally worthless ### 1/5 — Not to my liking *2021-07-12, version 5.3.901* I like the additional info regarding hourly forecast, but As for weekly forecast, I preferred the original format for its quick easy review of the week. Now, that format is hidden and takes too many clicks to find. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Weather *2025-02-25, version 5.17.510* Kate is the best! ### 5/5 — Weather John dePasquale *2023-04-18, version 5.7.301* Glad to see your reports! Being from Seneca County glad to see you include our area in the forecasts. Just sad that I can no longer livestream all the Syracuse broadcasts that have been to view over the years. Sorry to see that be dropped. Am so in the habit of waking up in the morning with your station at 4:30 am. I’m an early bird and plan my days around the weather in the Finger Lakes. ### 5/5 — Thank you! *2023-04-07, version 5.7.301* Well appreciated. I enjoy watching the news when I couldn’t afford spectrum anymore they cut me off and I can still watch it and I do appreciate it. Thank you so much. ### 5/5 — Newschanel 9 weather *2022-09-24, version 5.5.900* Love this app love this weather app ### 5/5 — Radar doesn’t lie *2022-08-22, version 5.5.900* Use this constantly it’s a lifesaver ### 5/5 — Dependable *2022-08-05, version 5.5.900* All ways gives what it’s there for ! Detailed news , Weather and stories . ### 5/5 — The LOCAL news source! *2022-06-27, version 5.5.900* We wouldn’t expect anything less from channel 9. Channel 9 has always been the best!! ever since the days of “stormy” Burgess Meredith, Bud Hedinger, Kaylee Nixon!! Same for the news team I’ll say two words Rod Wood. That’s all I need to say, everybody that followed him has been stellar and especially Christie Casciano.So in so many words, the channel 9 mobile app is fantastic. a shout out to Jim Teske and a shout out to my favorites Kate Thornton!! ❤️🌺 And the one and only, the man, the legend….John DiPasquale!!! 🥇 ### 5/5 — Watch latest tv weather *2022-02-04, version 5.4.940* I love that I can watch the latest WSYR weather person forecast. ### 5/5 — Impressive update *2021-09-25, version 5.4.500* Finally can see the radar map instead of completely obscured by ads and banners. Nice selection of settings and overlays. Great to see recent past and future several hours in one map instead of having to switch. Changing views and locations load pretty quickly. bonus: Can check weather all around the country. Thank you for this informative, functional and user-friendly weather app!!! ### 5/5 — Great channel *2021-08-31, version 5.3.905* Channel nine is the only channel i tune in for weather --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
