In today’s technology daily local area weather should be correct. ### 4/5 — WTOC weather *2026-04-29, version 6.1.601* 5 ### 2/5 — Hope it’s an unintended change *2026-01-03, version 6.1.301* For years the past and future radar picture was provided. This update only provides past or the future radar maps not the combo. ### 3/5 — Ginny D *2025-12-06, version 5.17.801* I use the app I’m all the time. Only one complaint. When no I use the 24 hr radar. The last part stops moving. It’s like it gets froze The bar under the radar is still moving I but the radar is not. ### 2/5 — Inaccurate *2025-10-07, version 5.17.706* The radar is always inaccurate. If it’s cloudy and you plan on grilling, you’ll probably get rained on when the radar says there won’t be any rain. Temps are normally inaccurate as well. ### 3/5 — I’m going back to Georgia tomorrow morning and I will send you a picture of my new dog when *2025-06-19, version 5.17.511* What are you doing for dinner tonight I don’t have any plans tonight but I will be there tonight ### 2/5 — Ads *2025-02-23, version 5.17.511* We are forced to watch ads from the television. Ads on apps are so annoying. ### 3/5 — It’s okay, but… *2024-07-27, version 5.15.412* Lately this app has not been that great. We will get alerts for things that are not even nearby, but when an actual severe weather event takes place in the area where we live, we won’t get an alert. If we do get an alert it’s nearly 30 minutes after poo hits the fan. There have been straight up lightning strikes on our trees in the neighborhood, tornado sirens going off in our area, and random bursts of hail raining down and no alerts before or after the fact about any severe weather coming through. I recommend that if any one uses this app for alerts, to get another back up one just in case. ### 2/5 — Too many ads *2024-01-30, version 5.12.701* So many advertisements I have to constantly dig behind and fight to find what I want. Your competition doesn’t do that. I’ll stick with them. ### 1/5 — App is slow and inaccurate *2023-09-09* This app used to be my go to radar app years ago until crappy updates started happening to the app. Y’all added to much and it looks wack now. The app is always slow or glitchy and NEVER has accurate readings. The app will also say “thunderstorms” and it’ll be sunny and dry. The radar displays 2 completely different map readings between precipitation radar and 24/hr radar. I can’t remember the last time this app was accurate. I think it’s been about 3 years now ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Most inaccurate weather forecasts ever *2026-08-16, version 6.2.604* This app sucks. You’ll get a different forecast than what the meteorologist says on their newscast. Total computer generated forecast. Not accurate at all. Don’t plan anything by this app. ### 1/5 — Radar now totally inaccurate *2026-06-13, version 6.2.512* Is it now AI or computer generated rather than radar? ### 1/5 — Me *2026-04-22, version 6.1.601* Too many ads. Can’t even read the info. ### 1/5 — What have you done!? *2026-01-25, version 6.1.401* The latest upgrade destroyed a great app. The radar on the home tab is 2 hours behind the radar on the radar tab, the temperature reading is 12 degrees hotter than 7 local thermometers that all agree ( 48 degrees locally vs 60 degrees on the app), and the traffic map only shows metro Savannah and 50 miles of ocean. Yes I know the thermometers are not calibrated and NOAA certified installations, but a 12 degree error is a LOT. ### 1/5 — Constant Crasher *2025-11-15, version 5.17.801* App crashes nearly every time it is used. Very glitchy. ### 1/5 — Annoying *2025-06-27, version 5.17.511* Riddled with AI generated/political/scam ads and constantly gives me notifications about Savannah, Georgia that I cannot turn off. ### 1/5 — Rain *2025-06-08, version 5.17.511* The app shows its not raining but it is raining were I am. Very unreliable! Going to find another app! ### 1/5 — Broken *2025-02-20, version 5.17.511* What is wrong with this app? No temp, no hourly temps, etc. is this app still supported? 2/20/25 ### 1/5 — Radar Issue *2024-12-28, version 5.17.509* What is the purpose of the 24hr radar, if the radar doesn’t extend past 12hrs. The Timelapse continues, however, the actual radar stops moving at the 12hr mark. It’s been this way for several months now. ### 1/5 — Radar now totally inaccurate *2024-08-01, version 5.15.412* Is it now AI or computer generated rather than radar? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome Radar! *2025-07-07, version 5.17.511* This app works EVERYWHERE! It has a lot of options no matter where I go, or how I use it. I’ve been with WTOC for years. I get my family & friends to get the app. ### 5/5 — WTOC App *2025-02-15, version 5.17.511* Really enjoy the weather app. Used to watch the Weather Channel but it got so busy with junk that it was hard to see the weather. The WTOC is straight forward and simple and easy to maneuver to just give me the weather facts. Great job y’all 👏 ### 5/5 — Awesome *2024-12-01, version 5.16.1703* Awesome thanks for keeping me informed no matter where I’m at . ### 5/5 — Best Weather app *2024-11-07, version 5.16.1703* I like this app because it always shows me the weather ### 5/5 — Favorite Weather App so Far *2024-08-24, version 5.15.417* I use many weather apps, this one has become my most trusted for the Lowcountry. ### 5/5 — Great App *2024-07-14, version 5.15.402* 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 ### 5/5 — Accurate *2024-01-29, version 5.12.701* Most accurate weather app for southeast Georgia ### 5/5 — Weather *2023-11-30, version 5.12.701* You right on the money with the weather forecast for this week, Great job guys ### 5/5 — Excessive Heat *2023-08-14, version 5.10.500* Please tell me this heat is going away and I’ll rate your app with A+s ### 5/5 — WTOC radar *2023-07-30, version 5.10.500* They keep you up Speed on the weather Way to go WTOC first alert team --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
