But the app itself is nearly impossible to navigate because of the obtrusive ads. I've not been able to access the video forecast because of them. ### 2/5 — What happened? *2024-02-23* I’ve had this app for years and have loved it… but for the past few months it hasn’t been showing over half the info… the currents are gone, hourly is gone, daily is still there but most forecasts are gone as well… it’s frustrating because I love a reliable weather app but I can’t use it anymore so there’s no point in keeping it. ### 3/5 — The best forecast no so much with app *2022-12-28* The best forecast but no so much to say about the app. Cluttered up with advertisements making this app very hard to navigate. The accuracy of the meteorological team is by far the only reason to load this app. I’ve worked in the green industry scheduling a team of outdoor workers for as long as I’ve lived in Indiana and followed AB and CL fir the most accurate forecast for years before they were on the same team. I’m most likely to continue with to the old way and catch the forecast on the tv. ### 3/5 — The new updates have an issue *2022-05-13* Prior to the last two updates, the app would appear in landscape mode, now it is only in portrait mode. Please update so that those of us who have our iPads on a keyboard don't have to turn it 90 degrees to use the app. This is an inconvenience. ### 2/5 — Disappointing *2022-04-25* I do not like this latest update. Supposed to be more up to date but looks like several steps backward. Very plain, and has less information than before such as wind speed. I’m looking for a different weather app now. So disappointed. ### 3/5 — Bad update *2022-04-24* I use this app daily, but the most recent update is not great. It’s not playing well with my iPad. The app will not rotate now into a landscape mode. I am also finding it not as easy to find what I am looking for. ### 2/5 — Bad updates *2022-04-21* This app used to be good a few years ago, but they keep updating it with new features and cosmetic updates that bring nothing to the table. They keep changing how the interactive radar looks, they keep changing the main menu style. Channel 13 in general has been on the decline. But it gives you basic information which I guess is all you need. It just shows they aren’t making as much money as they used to lol. ### 2/5 — Very annoying ads! *2022-02-03* You can’t see the current weather blog updates without fighting your way through a full screen ad. Probably will just stick with the Weather Channel ### 3/5 — What happened? *2021-08-18, version 66000.0.0* Used to love this app. Now it’s sending me notifications that don’t apply to my location. Please fix! ### 1/5 — Interactive Radar doesn’t work *2021-02-14, version 65000.0.1* Used to be a really good app. Now the interactive radio is worthless. It showed NO precipitation ANYWHERE in the United States. That is one of the main reasons that you get a weather app. I don’t know what you did to make the intraday not work, but it is not worthy of any stars without the interactive radar. ### 3/5 — Love the app, But... *2020-08-13* I love this app and use it daily. Never had any issues until lately. For some reason, it will not tell me the current weather for my region. Very disappointing. If it can’t be fixed soon, I’ll be looking for a different app that will and deleting this one. ### 1/5 — Not Helpful *2020-07-27* This app does not update frequently enough to be helpful during significant weather conditions. Looking at a radar is not useful when there is no one to interpret the data. There is nothing like seeing a funnel cloud going to the app for info just to watch a Forum commercial. I thought they would eventually realize this app is terrible and get a new one, but it's been years, and they ask us to rely on the app more than their reports. ### 1/5 — Live Doppler radar now ad blocked *2020-06-21, version 44000.6.0* Having to watch a ad every time I want to check it? Yeah no thanks ### 3/5 — Last update broke it. *2019-10-26, version 44000.6.0* Since the update a few days ago (10/20) it has stopped working. Now it won’t open. It just spins and spins. ### 1/5 — Broken *2019-10-23, version 44000.6.0* Been using this app for years. Last update broke the app. Now I get a never ending loading screen. ### 1/5 — Radar is not accurate *2019-07-04, version 44000.3.0* The radar never matches what is happening outside. Radar does not come close to The Weather Channel’s radar. Even while watching the live news weather report on WTHR, the radars don’t match. The app always says it’s raining more than what it really is. I’ll be going back to the weather channel. ### 1/5 — You should get 0 stars! *2019-07-03, version 44000.3.0* You guys are ridiculous! Never watching or using your apps again... should be called CNN weather. ### 1/5 — No tornado warning?!? *2019-06-15, version 44000.2.0* I get flash flood and lightning warnings but NO Tornado warnings were issued?!? Lucky the old school sirens still work because this app didn’t help! What the hell isn't this what the apps for? ### 1/5 — Good app, ad issues *2019-05-24* I use this app easily every day, but lately I have been getting bombarded with ads that do not allow me to close them out and I have to force quit the app and restart it. I love the WTHR Weather weather team and want to continue to use this app, please fix the ad issues! Update: I no longer receive ads, but the app itself crashes every time I use it. Specifically when I try to read the video forecast. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ads ads ads *2026-01-12, version 70001.0.5* The ads on this app are RIDICULOUS. Multiple, full page ads - on top of each other - on EVERY page. There’s more ad content than real content. Until that’s resolved - 0/10, cannot recommend. ### 1/5 — Interactive glitch? *2025-11-03, version 70000.0.0* Since the new Interactive radar has come out, I can only access it once, then if I go back to it, it’s just a black screen. ### 1/5 — Added Click Bait Blogs *2024-11-08, version 68000.0.5* As far as Weather related alerts, lightning, strikes warnings, etc.. the app is fine. Unfortunately, they’ve recently started to push some of their blog post with click bait titles to the app. Absolutely not. ### 1/5 — Great station but app is all ads *2023-08-26, version 68000.0.5* Sooooo many ads you are so busy turning them all off you never get the weather ### 1/5 — Useless *2023-06-25, version 68000.0.5* We’re under tornado warnings. But it’s not possible to get real time nor without wading through ads. What crap. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work *2023-05-12, version 68000.0.5* Wthr weather app was my go to for several years. I have not updated the app in several months until recently. Now the app loads but with TONS of pop up ads. :( I just want to see the video forecast. Video never plays now. App is useless. ### 1/5 — Too many commercials! *2023-05-06, version 68000.0.5* I love WTHR and the weather team. But unfortunately the wx app plays commercials before you can look at radar and other features. Pass. ### 1/5 — Wrong weather *2022-06-25, version 68000.0.4* It says 0% chance of rain as it’s raining says it will be 86 degrees when it’s only 71 and all other apps show it not getting any hotter ### 1/5 — Delivery driver *2022-02-17* I’m a delivery driver in Bloomington. I used this app for years. It was pretty accurate, I’m assuming because it used the radar at the small airport here, and didn’t have many ads or random banners to accidentally click on. I need to know what the weather is, I need the forecast, and I need it to be faster and less frustrating then just using google. I’m not sure when the change to this less accurate more ad intensive-(more frustrating) Version happened. But in my opinion if the experience isn’t better and easier to use then just googling the weather, then it’s not worth it to me personally. Skip this ad heavy app. It’s frustrating to deal with, way less accurate then it was a few years ago, and google is now the better option. ### 1/5 — Video Forecast is old *2022-01-06, version 67000.0.0* What!! Why is the video forecast 3 days old? “Apparently,” it’s forecast for the week beginning on Monday. Why doesn’t your website update from the evening weather report? This app is a joke! Come on!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I’m disappointed *2022-05-14* I had the other App for years it served me globally and was a lifeline through many dangerous storms globally And then one day you change it And I can no longer use it because I have an I phone that had as 12.5 operating system.. I’m just disappointed It’s like losing a trusted friend.... Jeanie Foster ### 5/5 — My go - to weather source! *2017-08-31, version 43500.14.00030749* Reliable, easy to use, and up to the minute ### 5/5 — Great App *2017-08-29, version 43500.14.00030749* This is my go to app for the crazy Indiana weather we get. ### 5/5 — Great tool *2017-08-07* The only thing I would change is the radar map, so that it can be displayed in landscape instead of portrait. Other than that- this is a great set of tools that I use regularly to plan travel and keep my family safe. ### 5/5 — Channel 13 Weather App *2017-08-06, version 43500.14.00030749* I use it everyday and love the text messages letting me know what to expect for the day and whether I need an umbrella or a warm jacket! ### 5/5 — Great weather app *2017-07-27, version 43500.14.00030749* One of the best weather apps I've seen or used. Up to date info all the time. ### 5/5 — Very good *2017-07-23, version 43500.14.00030749* Much better than other weather apps ### 5/5 — The best weather *2017-07-16, version 43500.14.00030749* The best weather app I have used normally always correct ### 5/5 — Love the app *2017-07-11, version 43500.14.00030749* It's so nice to have an app that gives me up to date weather conditions for my community. Thank you WTHR!! ### 5/5 — Great app *2017-07-11, version 43500.14.00030749* It is the most accurate weather app available. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
