I want alerts for my area/county, not everywhere. This was changed recently and there is no where in the settings to revert this change. ### 2/5 — Ads are too long. *2025-06-08, version 5.17.614* I don’t like sitting thru the lengthy ad to get my weather. ### 2/5 — Find a different app *2025-02-15, version 5.17.512* Too many ads and app closes when you try to access the radar option a lot of times ### 3/5 — Great coverage *2022-12-20, version 5.7.112* This app is better then the Weather Channel app. Much better radar here and I like the follow me feature, so when I travel nice seeing what is happening where I am at!!! ### 3/5 — Not working right *2021-05-27, version 5.3.800* I’ve been using this app for years and I love but here lately something is going on with the follow me feature. It doesn’t work. I have to put it ob what every city I’m in. Sometimes I don’t pay any attention when I get on and notice the weather is way different than what the tv or radio says. When it like that it doesn’t tell you your location at the top of the page. That’s when I realize I have to manually switch it to my location (City). That aggravating. ### 4/5 — Compliments *2021-03-01, version 5.1.608* I am a big fan of the WYMT team especially miss Paige and the entire weather team they all should have a raise I think WYMT would be crazy to let them go ### 3/5 — Ads *2020-03-24, version 4.10.2700* Love the app but with the video updates I literally have to watch 5 ads before I can watch the video and 90% of the time the video won’t work ### 1/5 — Use to be ok *2019-06-29, version 4.8.900* App changed looks around 1st week of June and now the map is very dark with less detail and storm warnings are in red like tornado warnings. It’s a total mess when when a big storm system hits. It’s really not worth the space it takes up on your phone now. I tried wsaz and it was the same. ### 1/5 — Won't update *2018-05-09, version 4.5.1800* Can't get it to update ### 5/5 — Wymt *2018-04-08, version 4.6.1400* Love the updates done it’s awesome now easier to send photos an videos 👍😎 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Newer always ain’t better *2026-08-18, version 6.2.604* I like the features of the odor app better, it allowed for you to view past and future radars together. It showed the motion of the storm slower to give you a better idea of the dangers to your location The older version of the app allowed you to see the potential health threat even ### 1/5 — Tornado warning *2026-07-28, version 6.2.517* Before you would even let us know anything you had to have a commercial. You need to be a little better prepared. You can’t find nothing. Nothing’s working over there on your electronics. And every time you send out a weather alert or update as soon as I click on it another advertisement for a cardiologist, and you can’t even find the weather ### 1/5 — Weather *2025-06-08, version 5.17.614* Need work not right shows no rain and it raining in Barbourville ### 1/5 — Fix your app *2024-09-17, version 5.15.412* Do not recommend. You have to reset the app multiple times before any functions work ### 1/5 — Weather alerts *2024-06-11, version 5.13.1002* Don’t get weather. I have to listen to stuff that doesn’t pertain to me ### 1/5 — App needs work *2023-10-21* Won’t pick up my location and when you go into the WYMT app settings there no place to change it to get my location on apple iPhone 14pro max ### 1/5 — Website *2022-12-29, version 5.7.112* Very slow to load I’ve never seen one so slow Any other website is better than this one when I need to know right away ### 1/5 — App won’t open!!! *2022-09-13, version 5.4.932* Since the last update I can’t even open the app! Please fix this problem. With winter coming upon us this is the way I keep up with my grandson’s school closings!! Also, the only way I keep up with any other news! ### 1/5 — That it scares the crap out of you *2022-01-07, version 5.4.932* It scares the crap out of you ### 1/5 — They never predict snow right *2021-02-01, version 5.1.601* They say we’ll get a foot when we get an inch ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Not in Kentucky *2025-02-20, version 5.17.512* I download this app told me about in Kentucky. It works really great here in Dallas, Texas with the weather for the local weather.
