It only uses white. Even if I have all of my keyboards setup to use dark mode when it comes up in the app it overrides my settings and displays it so blight it’s literally blinding me. My system settings are set up to use dark mode only it’s a horrible experience. The app itself is using a night / dark mode per system settings. But inside of the app it displays the keyboard in white… It’s like going out at night and having someone play around with shining a flashlight directly into your eyes… ### 4/5 — Only 2 days in the hourly forecast? *2024-05-22* There was a change in the last update to the negative. Before that they would show 72 hours (3 days) into the future. Now they’ve reduced it to 24 hours (2 days). All past versions always had 72 hours. Why the reduction? ### 4/5 — Ads just to see watches and warnings? *2024-01-03* As a backup I strongly recommend you install the FEMA app as a backup plan to get watches and warnings. You get them instantly without having to set thru ANY ads. You shouldn’t have your life put on the line just to pad someone’s pockets. Still both of them have to serve you notifications. Once you get a notification make a beeline for your safe place. You can always read the notification after you’ve gotten into your safe space. For most people it’s just the hallway off of your bedroom or the bathroom off of the hallway. Only takes seconds to get there. ### 2/5 — Errors galore *2023-08-08, version 5.10.504* I have used the app for years but for the last couple of months it is not working correctly. When I pull up the radar it either flashes the storms on and off the screen so quickly you can’t see it or it won’t show anything. I have to coliseums out of all apps on the phone and then try… it will work for a couple of minutes and then I have to close all the way out and open it again. ### 5/5 — Reliable *2023-05-05, version 5.7.301* It’s local and it’s reliable. I like that I can look at just today, the next couple of days, or the next week. I trust WTVM Meteorologists! ### 5/5 — Review *2023-04-08, version 5.7.301* I was in Harris County in late March for a funeral. The power was out and tornados were going through. I found your app downloaded it and it got me through. I live in Atlanta and still use it. It’s a great app. You can click on radar and see it. Thanks. ### 5/5 — iOS 16.4 Playback issues *2023-03-28* This problem didn’t exist until I started using iOS 16.4 today. Videos are very very choppy when you are trying to get them played back. The person who is talking doesn’t match up to the audio. It’s like watching one of the old 1980’s MTV music videos. The audio quality and sound are great but the speakers head is jumping around like a crazy puffet on a string. ### 5/5 — Does the job *2022-12-01, version 5.6.510* This has been my go to application for weather . It’s on point and radar is super accurate ### 5/5 — Great job *2022-09-29, version 5.6.510* The news team always sends great updates to keep us aware and prepared for all weather that comes our way. I trust this weather team and they are my “go to” app when I need to know about the weather. ### 5/5 — WTVM Weekend Weather *2021-09-26, version 5.3.901* We love Anna! ### 5/5 — Great weather channel *2021-09-01, version 5.3.901* Great job guys… keep us informed on all the weather !!! ### 5/5 — Anxiety *2021-08-10, version 5.3.901* I suffer fromMajor Anxiety this brings me comfort to know I can get reliable weather radar and see it for myself at any time. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Too many damn ads for me!!!! *2026-01-31, version 6.1.302* Add ### 1/5 — Volume *2025-11-08, version 5.17.801* I can never hear what’s being said on the app ### 1/5 — Ads????? *2025-07-15, version 5.17.511* Why cant you offer an app that would not require ads everywhere making it harder to check the forecast and watch potential life threatening storms coming in? PLEASE REMOVE THE ADS or offer an paid upgrade so you can still make enough money to run the app itself ### 1/5 — I hope you can sit through ads while checking for threatening weather *2023-09-21, version 5.11.503* When weather coverage was moved from the main news app to this app, everything is delivered in video format. No longer do we have written editorials warning of incoming or current weather that may be threatening us. You must sit through 1-2 30sec ads to watch their video to find out if you're in danger. Unfortunately during heavy storms, data is often sluggish to your cell phone. I would be fine with them having as many side/top/bottom ads as they'd like-- but let me receive a weather warning without ads or poor cell connection gatekeeping the news. ### 1/5 — Fix it please to see in landscape *2023-08-06, version 5.10.504* Your app use to work on iPad in landscape mode and it don’t now, it hasn’t for over a year please fix this it is only portrait now so you have to turn iPad to see. It don’t work unless your connected to the internet, so useless… ### 1/5 — Updated Radar is now unreadable *2022-07-09, version 5.4.921* The basic content like the 10 day forecast, hour by hour is very good unfortunately the latest update puts weather advisories and alerts actually on the radar rather than in banner form which has rendered the radar absolutely unreadable and useless. My recommendation would be to only use WTVM if you want a 10day outlook and find another app for radar. ### 1/5 — App is not good *2022-01-30, version 5.4.921* Hard to find stories that I want to see and stories many times are not accurate! ### 1/5 — Needs an Update *2021-06-09, version 5.3.502* As of June 8, 2021 the newest update lags and doesn’t open most times for the news app. Trying to hard to make it video based. Need to review and revise to keeping it simple. Just my thoughts. ### 1/5 — Fix it please to see in landscape *2018-03-19, version 4.5.1912* Your app use to work on iPad in landscape mode and it don’t now, it hasn’t for over a year please fix this it is only portrait now so you have to turn iPad to see. ### 2/5 — It’s ok *2024-03-01, version 5.12.701* We lived in Kentucky and wdrb is way way better ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Leaving *2026-03-16, version 6.1.601* I am leaving WTVM the new update is not good ### 5/5 — WTVM, Goal to purchase Channel 9 News, statewide and The CEO: Ms., Dr., Maggie Frightener, Md,. *2026-03-14, version 6.1.601* Channel 9, News team there outstanding in the communities in, Consolidated Government Columbus Georgia, Muscogee County. “We’re hogging” in, Muscogee and we’re, “yuppies.” The citizens are has respect for one another like channel news team members. They’re totally, totally, totally, totally, super awesome. Please have super awesome day. ### 5/5 — Great weather reports *2025-11-21, version 5.17.801* Mostly accurate weather report. I’m glad I have this channel to rely on. ### 5/5 — Weather Alerts *2025-01-11, version 5.17.509* The meteorologists do an excellent job of keeping us up to date and prepared for the weather. Just out of curiosity, I have always wondered why the beautiful lady meteorologists wear sleeveless dresses when it’s 26 degrees outside. Is it that warm in the studio? ### 5/5 — Review *2024-08-06, version 5.15.412* Great channel. ### 5/5 — Channel 9 *2024-07-24, version 5.15.412* I love this app. It keeps me updated in real time. ### 5/5 — Needs to be able to plan for weekend trips *2024-06-04* It’s good and all but I only have one beef of a feature that’s truncated. In the past versions it used to have a hourly forecast for 72 hours. Now it only go’s out to 48 hours. The 72 hour forecast is useful for planning weekend trips. Say Memorial day weekend is coming up. Or any other three day weekend. You leave early on Friday morning but you really don’t have a good handle on the storms due for Sunday afternoon. Do you leave early enough Sunday morning to miss most of the storms or can you get by by leaving Sunday afternoon? With only a 48 hour window you can never really know. ### 5/5 — Not your average meteorologist! *2024-05-10, version 5.12.701* Most of the weather folks have a tendency to overemphasize the possibility of bad weather like selling a used car! The facts and the warnings are good, necessery, and appreciated, but Derek is honest enough to tell us when he thinks the weather will not actually be that bad, and has been correct 100% of the time. Very comforting! My only source for the weather forecast. ### 5/5 — One little annoying bug *2024-02-04* The one annoying feature is it’s extremely easy to accidentally press on the map. You’re all of a sudden, hundreds of miles away from your position. The app needs a location button. something you can press on to get back to your current position. currently the only way to correct this is to exit the app. do a for close on it and restart it. ### 5/5 — Great *2023-06-21, version 5.10.400* Love this app --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
