The Weather Channel - Radar Positive Reviews

Best weather app here’s whyOh I loved it it was the best weather app I’ve ever seen like you told me the weather one day for the next few weeks it was so good that I did not have to go on another weather app or look for something else as my Google it doesn’t tell me the right kind of weather for today or the next week or anything like that but this weather app tells me whatever whatever whatever the weather is everywhere it’s pretty good too. So that’s why I like this app. I like this app because it’s just like I don’t know it’s a very good app if you want to know the weather that’s why I got the app because of the ratings that I saw was very good so I decided to try this and I did actually works really really good and that’s why I like this app. This app is meant for whoever needs to know the weather or if they need to know the weather if they wanna go hunting or ice fishing or anything like that so if you wanna go hunting or fishing or any of that stuff it’ll be really good for you cause you know the weather that’s how I know I loved this weather app it was the best weather app ever you guys should really try it read the ratings first and you’ll love it..TiiiiiiipppppyVersion: 14.22

Not Accurate4I give this app 4⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ stars, because the weather temperature and rain alerts are NOT accurate, at least where I live. First, I've had this app for years and it ask me to give a review and when I tried, it said I have to purchase it first. So I had to delete it and all my settings I had just to write this review. Second, the temperature isn't accurate! No matter what thermometer I use, and I've used 3 different digital thermometers and 2 mercury thermometers and there are supposed to be 2 weather stations close to my home and both readings are always the same, even though the locations are supposed to be different. The temperatures I get close to my home (from The Weather Channel) are constantly, approximately 2-4 and today 6 degrees higher than than all the readings I personally get from right outside of my home(in the shade). During really cloudy weather, I constantly get rain warnings and at least 90% of the time there is no rain, showers or even drizzles. when this app says there's a 20% chance of rain, there is NO rain. A lot of the time when the forecast says 50-60% chance of rain, there is NO rain and sometimes there are blue sky's overhead. I don't even know why I look at the forecasts from this app. The Weather Channel, wants you to pay $3.99 EVERY year for no ads. It should be a one-time purchase for no ads! I might think about paying for no ads if this app was somewhat accurate. I live in Southern California..<#><#><#><#><#>Version: 14.10

Bloated and ClutteredMy review of the previous version: Weather Channel finally killed their old app. I've been using it for years. It was elegant in appearance, loaded quickly, took up one third the HD space of the new one and gave you weather at a glance. However, if you want the whole kitchen sink (and the contents of all your cupboards too) on your screen, along with annoying video ads, then this new one is the app for you. It's Weather Bug on steroids. I deleted it after only a day. I gave it three stars, because if radar is all you want, it's pretty good. My review of the latest version: Thank you Weather Channel. I used to be able to tap the weather map and enlarge it to full screen. Now it only goes half screen with information I was able to read, understand and absorb in under a minute filling the other half. Why can't I make the map go full screen like before? Rating - three stars. Not nearly a cluttered as before. Time will tell if it remains as bloated and buggy as it has been the last many years. Map on only half the screen - stupid and unnecessarily restrictive. Maybe in another ten years the app will be as good as it was ten years ago, before IBM bought The Weather Channel. Keep trying. Oh, one more thing. I really doubt people were asking you to restrict the map to half the screen..TimLasVersion: 14.12.1

Let’s go back in TimeI own a manufacturing business in the South. Since we work in a mostly open warehouse the weather is very important there was a time when y’all had sections of importance. Videos: At one time the primary videos offered were segments of weather throughout the country. i . e. Northeast, southeast, Midwest, Southwest, and Northwest. Now it’s a melange of Weather top story, then somewhat insignificant stories with background music and subtitles of stories not necessarily pertinent to U.S weather on a daily basis. It seems you have to forage through the pooo to get what your looking for. There was also monthly data that showed averages for one’s area and where we are compared to the average on a rolling average. That’s completely gone. Nowadays it’s the basic local facts and sensationalism. I’m afraid that you don’t know how to get it back. Lastly, I find it interesting that your posting a 4.6 average when the Lions share of comments are negative. Himmmm Math channel? Update; I had to correct my score. I originally gave it 2 Stars. Once it showed up it was 4 stars. Very interesting, maybe it answers my score question. So now I gave it a 1. If you see any more than 1 star? It wasn’t me..Johnnyz53Version: 10.15

Weather AlertsI would have given you five stars if the videos always come with captions whenever the host speaks that we can switch on CC. It frustrates me and my husband when all the weather videos come without captions. No way is that we can increase the volume to listen. We’re completely Deaf that we rely on Sign Language therefore we need captions on whenever the host talks/speaks. Please simply switch on Captions. So we can see what the news is about. It would save Deaf people’s lives when we need to look out how safe or not is about the weather news. No captions is like to shut up the Deaf people. That is really serious. Please do pay attention to the needs of the captions. If you are worried about the size of the captions, we can adjust ourselves with the sizes of the font which is like the hearing people increase or decrease the volume of the sounds… please recognize the needs of Deaf people; not only Deaf people, the senior citizens happen to experience the hearing losses. We will value the Weather Channel if you do make all of earthlings happy by including the captions. Much appreciated for this opportunity..1012andy53Version: 12.34.1

Weather variety multiple locationsI have had this app for awhile and use it to not only get local weather but weather for various locations for my son's work travel as surprisingly conditions vary greatly within a 50 mile area which one needs to know if commuting. I get road conditions and various alerts ( rain, snow, lighting, etc) per area. All helpful. Last year because of the reports I got, I saved my son an unnecessary trip because of the weather report. I enjoy the various videos also. I am editing review because of the problems I have been having with the app which appears to be all over where this app is used. I contacted support and only got a service standard reply which is basically sent by a computer. I am highly disappointed that I can’t get the app to work anymore because it was very helpful when it worked. I am not sure if the malfunction is due to the updates on IOS which also requires apps to also update. Whatever the reason, there should be a way to correct problem with app especially when it effects all means of use on phones, tablets and computers..Master red foxVersion: 9.7

AMAZING UPDATE!! 5/5I love weather. I have absolutely loved weather since I can remember. When I got my first phone (years ago), I really wanted to get the weather channel because I thought it was so cool on my parents phones. It was one of/the first app I got on my phone. I thought it was super cool and would check it EVERY morning before and after school and multiple other times during the day because I loved it so much. I was OBSESSED with it. But eventually, I started to get kind of bored of it and just didn’t check it all for a long time. Recently, I’ve started using it a lot more because of the update. I find the update absolutely amazing and will continue to use the Weather Channel. I love the fact that you can set up your own account and base what you find on your home screen based on what you selected in the quiz when you first downloaded/updated the app. I love how everything is so much more organized. I hope the Weather Channel will continue to make amazing updates like this. I will forever love weather and continue to use the Weather Channel. Thank you for reading this review!.Ariel_PrincessVersion: 14.8

AdvertisingThe advertisement need to stop. The app would be rated a 5 Star if it weren’t for the ads taking over the app. It used to be just parts of the app where a little ad would be on the screen usually at the bottom of the page or in the middle, as well a video ad before a video which also seems to be getting longer in ad time and you can’t skip past it either! It’s now seeming like at least a 1 minute ad before you see the video your looking to watch. Then if you want to watch another video it’s another 1 minute ad before the video and so on and so on. My main issue is now during use of the app a ad pops up during use and is very annoying and sometimes not quick or easy to stop. It’s usually a ad for a game app or some ad for some business. Either way it’s very annoying. I understand you need to make money but this seems to be overly excessive and to be honest nobody is using the weather channel app to see promotions for anything besides the weather! We’re not here to hear about some new game or some new companies new business idea we’re hear for one thing and one thing only and that’s to SEE WHAT THE WEATHER OUTSIDE IS!!!.BMVPVersion: 12.22.1

Thanks Weather ChannelWhen I was planning to go up north I wondered what the weather was going to be a few years ago. It said the weather that day is sunny and no showers. I decided that I was going to go up there since I was hoping for a day at the lake. By the time I got there it was cloudy and thunder and lightning in the distance. I was very disappointed since I was hoping for fishing and a swim. Now when the summer was around I decided I should get a different Weather Channel. I saw this one and thought maybe this would be a good channel. I made the correct decision. It said partly cloudy no showers. I went up north this summer for the lake and it was a great day swimming was great. Also another time this summer when I wasn’t up north at my house I heard the alarm on my since where I live you never hear the sirens go off. I heard sirens since I opened my window to hear if they were going off. As known I looked on the Weather Channel. Tornado Warning. I hurried down to my basement went into the bedroom with no windows and stayed there until morning. Thanks weather channel😊.RjvogVersion: 12.17

New format for weather app.I preferred the older weather app compared to this new one version. It was much easier to use and scroll through; easier to navigate and understand than this new weather app. It’s way more complicated. Now I have an Apple IPhone 7SPlus & it’s paid off & I know the apps like the back of my hand, as I’ve had this iPhone for many years and still works better than any upgrade out there. I’ve had this iPhone paid off for years and the apps I have are what I need & want for free. I’m elderly and disabled. I do not have a landline and even though I’m elderly and disabled I’m very savy using an Apple iPhone. I’m not pleased at all with the new weather app! It’s not that I can’t adjust to change, it truly is a more complicated than needed new weather app. There was nothing wrong with the other weather app. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it as u very well know this true meaning, just for the sake of change. Please bring back the other weather app we had, or at least give users an option to choose the new weather app or stay with the other weather app is a great idea. Please take this review seriously in your discussions about changing the weather app. Thanks..CjsblnVersion: 14.6

Ads have made this app go downhillI’ve had the free version of this app for years and it’s always done it’s job well. Over the past year they’ve allowed more and more ads to take up the space where I’d like my weather info to be. It seems almost like a ploy to get me to pay for premium. I would not recommend this app to anyone who wants an easy to read screen. I’m writing this review now because, even though I can tell the ads are run by google - I saw an extremely offensive ad this morning clearly geared towards very right leaning republicans, that I strongly objected to. There’s no need to target anyone on this ap with ads selling clothing that talks about the Vice Presidents race in a derogatory manner. I would have thought someone from the weather channel would at least be looking at the types of ads running on their app. This made me lose a ton of respect for the developers of this app, and as I was already frustrated by the size and high volume of ads, im considering using something else entirely for my weather updates. I really hope someone reads this review and takes a look at the content of the ada google is running on their platform. It reflects back on them..Dahil20kVersion: 12.20.1

Safety ConcernI’ve always loved The National Weather Channel since the early to mid 80’s. I feel it’s the source of truth and my go-to for all things weather, especially in the middle of a storm before I will look at my local stations (I use both), but I feel that TWC is like the mother satellite. The safety concern is while in the path of recent tornadoes in the south, while hiding in my bathroom with my family and probably seconds to spare (thank God we were safe), but I went to tack the tornado and an AD COMMERCIAL popped up!! I scrambled to find the X to get back to the path of the tornado. I didn’t press anything “extra” only my usual radar. This (ads) happens all the time now and before it never happened. The ADS pop up at the wrong time for the wrong reasons. Please fix this issue, it is a safety issue. Lives depend on seconds! This is a quality. Don’t put the AD Commercial on LIVE RADARS. My husband travels and some times late, I just check the radar for his safety and of course an AD commercial pops up. Put them someplace else to make money and I shouldn’t have to pay for a premium account to see the LIVE radar without distractions..Nurseco11Version: 15.2

Old version was 100x betterThe Weather Channel has been my go to weather source for over a decade. Though not always 100% accurate (no weather source ever is), I appreciated the quick updates when predictions weren’t correct and the simplicity of the user interface aspect of the app. I avoided updating the app for a long time because of this until I had to, and the new interface, while aesthetically pleasing, is garbage. It requires much more battery power just to have it open with all of the gifs/videos it incorporates as background for no reason, it automatically lowers volume of other apps upon opening, and it no longer allows you to turn off video autoplay, so whenever you accidentally click the video tab, it immediately plays or starts loading whatever video is queued up. Not to mention that before I knew of these updates features, I bought the premium subscription for a year just to get rid of the ads, which I regret especially with these new features. For reference, I️’m 28 years old and work in marketing, still hate these features. A year ago I would have given this app 5 stars, but for these reasons I give it a 3..Rek123Version: 14.13.1

Art in JupiterThe weather channel app has changed my life in many ways. When I used to rely on TV weather forecasts that predicted 70% chance of rain, I would not plan any outdoor activities that day. The weather data on TV was for a broad area like a county. The weather channel allows me to enter my specific town and often see that I have only 15-20% chance. Using your hourly feature, I might see that there is almost no bad weather until a front comes through at 3PM. I can then have a wonderful outdoor day until that time. One of my favorite features when we are in stormy tropical storm conditions, with strong winds and heavy rains, I use the radar feature to look for clear periods to take my dog out. I am really impressed by the accuracy of your app - a game changer for optimizing my outdoor activities. In the morning, I look at your app to decide how I should dress for the day. And I look days ahead to plan outings with friends and families. If I could rate The Weather Channel app more than 5 stars, I would. Thank you!! Art in Jupiter, Florida..Art SamuelsVersion: 12.34

Nooooooo!!!!!!!Why did you get rid of your on camera meteorologists???? Ari, Orelon, Kait…(and 2 other ladies who were also very good), and you replaced them with the worst thing possible - the videos you have to read. We’re trying to watch this very interesting weather video, you compelled us to watch, but we can’t see it because we’re too busy reading the paragraphs that go away after 2 seconds, so we can understand what we’re supposed to be watching in the video. The people/ meteorologists were always better. Friendly faces, reporting our weather, teaching us about it, and encouraging us to take measures to stay safe. That is what we want!!! Bring them back!!! More Ari, less paragraphs. They were good at their jobs, made the app interesting and fun - all of them. They deserve better than being laid off, and we, the paying customers, deserve to have better than having to read videos to get important information!!! This was a big mistake weather channel! You can do better than this!!!.Jeremy1roseVersion: 14.4

How to boil a frogI remember when I could just open this app and check the weather. Little by little we get more and more ads and less and less information. It used to be you could click on the hourly report and see an hourly report. Then they started bugging you to upgrade to premium so that you could see every 15 minutes Report. Well that doesn’t help if you’re 15 minute Report is nowhere close to accurate. On top of that they started putting an ad at the hourly report. At first you could just close the ad right away. Then it took a second or two. Well it was only a matter of time before they would put an ad it takes 10 seconds before you can close it. And there it is. That’s how you boil a frog. You start with a nice cool pot of water and wait till the frog gets real comfortable and then you turn on just a little heat and then a little more and keep going and the frog never even notices it’s been boiled. I’ve seen this before. You’re going to advertise yourselves right out of our iPhones. It’s not going to be very long before people are sick of watching your stupid ads for stuff that they don’t want and didn’t ask for..MassenamanVersion: 12.25.1

Not impressed with updateFor the most part the update is ok. I preferred the other version more!!! My biggest problem is the fact I get notifications on the stupidest videos and articles you think you need to share. I have turned off all of that within your app and nothing has changed. I still keep getting them. Even after making a stupid account, which I didn’t want to do, it still keeps sending alerts to new videos and articles I could care less about! No I won’t make the full app itself stop the notifications bc then I won’t get my weather alerts that I need and want. Fix this problem please. Then maybe I can give you more stars! In all honesty the radar and weather alerts is pretty much the only reason I keep your app. Your radar is best compared to others. (IMO) Other than that I use other sources that have more reliable weather predictions for my area. The alerts to the videos and articles needs to stop! They are annoying and I’m on the verge of deleting it. I’ve had your app for a sooo many yrs and have enjoyed it for the radar but these alerts is enough to make me delete it for good..MaderulaVersion: 14.3

Great app but works better on phones in my opinionI love using this app. Whenever I wanted to check the weather, someone would show me a different app and I would always ask to see this one instead because I feel it’s way more accurate. One time I was checking the forecast for my birthday which was coming up, and almost every time I checked it had something different because the forecast kept changing. It’s accurate and you don’t have to buy premium in order to get all features. I do have an idea tho and a problem. My idea is that with the locations you can only have 10 at a time. I think you should be able to have it just a little higher like 15 or something. Just a thought🙂. And another thing I use this app on an iPad and it’s pretty glitchy sometimes. It might just be my iPad because other things are pretty glitchy when I’m trying to FaceTime someone. Like sometimes the home screen crashes when I join the app like it keeps flashing. Other times it crashes out of the app. It might just be me so idk but just wanted to say something..STORMCHASERSROCK🥳Version: 14.13.1

Easy to use but terrible location servicesI want to really love the app. It’s my favorite app, best looking, best layout, overall easy to use and has all the information that is important to me presented well. Despite there being A TON of ads, both in between sections and in the forecast/ weather videos, which is going to happen in any app that has premium upgrade options, it’s location service is terrible. I added the widget to my Home Screen to see at all times and it CONSTANTLY 100% of the time gives me the weather for a random town 100 miles north in another state. Even when I open the actual app, the first place that comes up is that town and THEN it refreshes to my location. I love the app and am a weather nerd and because I constantly check it and care I sacrifice my battery by allowing the widget to constantly update in the background. Why drain my battery to keep my weather constantly up to date if it’s the wrong location every time?? It’s the only app that does this and constantly is the same *wrong* location every time. Weather Channel, I love you, but this major flaw is cause for a break up..Kaykoles98Version: 12.8

GreatI've always used the new STORM app and ever since that big update, it's been less than mediocre. That thing looked pretty but not well designed and the bugs and lag. Didn't even have a daily forecast write-up. So I found this one today and so far, what a difference! So much better. This app, so far, doesn't lag, it doesn't crash, it loads quick, easy to setup. I do wish I could select a location in the map and get that weather like STORM, that would be nice..STJR23Version: 10.4.2

TrustworthyI use this App around the world and have found it to be the most reliable of all. It is by far the most accurate and trustworthy. It updates frequently and I enjoy the extra features like the allergy report etc. The only challenge I ever have with it is with the radar. It works well but the coverage doesn’t extend to many places outside of Europe and North America. Still the hourly forecast is often very precise..TheworldofmwVersion: 9.5

Outstanding weather app!As a retired weather professional, I am fussy about the tools I use to govern my activities around the weather. This is one of the best apps I’ve used for predicting and assessing the weather every day. It offers a comprehensive suite of features that provide clear, useful information and products for forecasting and associated information. I have subscribed to the Premium version of the app, and it is a great value for money, considering the features it provides. I am very pleased with this app. PK.XAB XCOVersion: 12.10

The Weather Channel - Radar Negative Reviews

New Update is Terrible.I have used TWC app for years with no problems. Now, even before the new update, I noticed I would get rain warnings, and about 90% of the time there would be NO rain. I tried changing my location data, but it didn’t help. After the new update, the inaccuracies became much worse. It seems to not have my location correct, or looks at a large area of my town vs my exact location. There are many things I don’t like about the new update, especially the radar. It used to scan nice and slow so I could see details, which would help with some of the inaccuracies described above. Now the cursor speeds across the screen so you can’t see details and I can’t seem to see any way to slow it down. Useless to me for what I’d prefer to see. There is also less information regarding hurricane season and potential developing areas. I live on the west coast of Florida, and compared to the previous version, I get little to no information from this app. Since Hurricane Ian, when trees fell on my house, damaged my roof, totaled my car, and left me without electricity for 12 days, I look for as many updates as I can get. I have lived here all my life, and I am now 68 years old, a widow who lives alone (with my Golden Retriever). There are many Floridians like me who depend on TWC for peace of mind, especially with the climate changes. I still love your coverage on the TV channel, but this app has become very disappointing and I will be looking for something else..MR VeniceFlVersion: 14.10

What a jokeSeriously download the free version and try it out. It’s possibly the worst app I’ve ever downloaded. Too many add, also seems like they overloaded it, or tried to make it do more so that not it’s virtually none usable. Seriously how hard is it the have current, hourly, daily all in an easy to read. Don’t even get me started on the ads. The app has so much nonsense that you do more work trying to find what it is the apps is suppose to be for. You are out of your mind if you think you’ve convinced me to pay to download the premium. The way that works is show how good the app is, so much so it makes me think “if it’s this good I can’t imagine how much better the premium is”. I guess your idea is let’s drive them crazy with the free version, and they will want to pay for the premium. Premium may be what I’m looking for, but I’ll never know because you’ve put out such a terrible product I don’t feel the need to get suckered into giving you money. It’s like a car manufacturer trying to get you to buy the top of the line model by letting you try out the base model after it’s been used as a rental car for years, and behind on getting serviced. Seriously wonder how you are allowed to keep your jobs. Oh yeah that right, your model is buy up all the other good apps like dark sky to eliminate the competitor instead of trying to create a better app. You could cut so much out of the app and get back to basics and have way more people downloading, but you won’t..110614937Version: 12.37

Why the drastic change?This update was so unnecessary. The old interface was clear and easy to use, tracked favorite places, and had all of the tools easy to find. This new one looks like any standard website template that companies use to look sleek and cool and end up hiding what people need. I added my favorite places and can’t find them anywhere, yet when I try to add them again, get a message that they’ve already been saved. Where? In the daily outlook, days have been abbreviated to the first letter. So now I have to look closer at the tiny text to see which T or S the forecast is showing. Tuesday? Thursday? Saturday? Sunday? Good luck. Even truncating the date is jarring. What was wrong with 6/17 instead of just 17? You may think you’re cleaning it up to be clean and current, but please talk to someone in a user experience position who can tell you how just little tweaks to information presentation can help give the whole story instead of asking people to fill it in themselves. I vote for the previous version of this app. While The Weather Channel has the best information and forecasts, I loathe being forced into setting up an account just to check the weather, which I do throughout the day. You do not need personal info from people. Will be looking for alternative apps and hoping that the desktop version of your website has not changed. One last note, for my elder friends: OLDER EYES HAVE A LOT OF DIFFICULTY READING TINY, LIGHT TEXT ON DARK BACKGROUNDS..Th@t1GurlVersion: 14.7.1

Absolutely useless now. Illegible! Terrible graphics!As of about three days ago, they updated the app and have used a font that nobody likes and can read. Additionally, it's dangerous if you're just trying to check a quick forecast, and you have to squint. The videographic for clear and sunny is dangerous. It's actually like flashing in your eyes and it makes it very difficult to read the print below if you're gonna have a video of sun through leaves turn down the brightness a little bit. This used to be useful. I'll be a bit clunky but now I should not have to put glasses on to read this stupid thing. It looks like a four year old stick figures instead of actually a highly paid developer using AI. The very simple but beautifully arranged Weather Puppy is far superior at this point. I've switched back over to that because the few things that it lacks are far over shadowed by great graphics and cute pups to view. I don't see a button or area to click for settings anymore, where you could customize the font or do anything differently. There's no way that I would buy the paid version of this was supposed to be slickest weather app available, but it's an epic fail at this point. Go back to the way you had it two versions ago, where you could actually read it and there weren't so many flashing things that lit up the screen it's one thing to have an ad because That’s paid for the free version..EjmonVersion: 14.8

If you LOVE watching ADS, this app is for YOU!!I have used this app for my weather outlook for about ten years, and the quality over the last several years has just plummeted. Compared to the apps my friends used to use for daily and hourly weather predictions, i felt this was always the closest to actual. I have used the Weather Channel App to time my gardening, mowing, outings, and lawn applications for roughly the last decade, and now I can barely trust its accuracy beyond the two hour outlook. 70% chances of rain within the next four hours…poof, gone. Looking at the radar, i could even see that myself! On top of the worsening weather predictions, now to switch from the home screen to another screen - hourly or daily outlook, for example - i have to watch an ad for a piece of trash game that probably collects more data from my phone than it is of any entertainment value. Unfortunately, that’s not entirely surprising since for decades their website has been hocking clickbait ads for less than reputable financial and health/wellbeing sites (the website was my go-to source many years before smart phones). Of course, you can get rid of all those ads, now…because there is a pay option!! Problem solved, right??!! Finally, The Weather Channel decides we need to name winter storms now?? Give me a break! Sensationalism at its best! Whatever it takes to keep that ad revenue coming. Deleting this app, and never returning..Brock samson the one and onlyVersion: 12.25.1

You might as well get goop instead.I am a programmer, yet this new app makes me want to cry. I can only imagine what less tech savvy people are feeling with this new mess. The new app prioritizes wellness over weather. If I wanted a website about skincare and health advice I would go over to Gwyneth Paltrow’s equally useless goop. New radar is clunky and slow, let you put lightning as an overlay that’s nearly transparent and doesn’t let you see the distance and timing like it used to of the lightning. Additionally lightning is no longer available on the Home Screen, even if you say that’s one of the first things you want to see. You can also no longer click to see what warnings are in place for different areas for the severe weather overlay. The updates and lost functionality are dangerous and take away the abilities that I used to keep myself safe and productive. Living in Florida and being able to see what kind of watches and warnings were around me with a click, and to see what lightning strikes has happened at what distance and time kept me safe and let me go on walks and run errands freely. You can’t adjust what’s on your home screen from what I can find, so I HAVE to use that horrific useless radar. Bring back the portions of the Home Screen with the tropical center and the lightning nearby. They were essential and the reason I used the weather app in the first place instead of just using the Apple weather app..Cass955Version: 14.9.1

New Update IssuesThe latest version, 14.8, seems to be going for artsy/media over information. While there appears to be more information available for users, it’s more a matter of finding it. Important information is hidden behind separate pages that aren’t intuitive to click on or are part of scroll bars there you have to scroll left and right. The app seems much more interested in advertising weather stories or selling ad space to third parties. I understand that ads are needed as a form of revenue, but I have no interest in watching videos or reading articles about weather in places I don’t live, while at the same time, I’m scrolling all over to find information about my local weather. I like the increased use of notifications, and it’s nice to get a notification in the morning of my weather for the day (although, it would be nicer if I could pick when that gets sent. Seems to be 8am for me and by then, I’m already at work) or getting notified of severe weather. However, when I click in to view the severe weather warning for my area, the warning won’t load… but the ad under it will! Overall, the new appearance needs an overhaul. The font is so small and hard to read (no very helpful for us visually impaired folks!). I just want a simple interface to look at the weather; this new version is just too “flowery”/artsy for me. I hope TWC reconsiders this new version..Mandy23bVersion: 14.8

Worst update everI used this app all the time in order to keep up to date on monsoons that are in my area and for my work I have to know if there is a flash flood warning for MY AREA. Since the update they released the app has been super laggy and I have been spammed with flood, flash flood, thunderstorm, air quality, and dust warnings. Almost none of which are actually for where I live. Some are but it’s hard to tell which ones because I have to open each warning in order to tell if it’s for my town or for a storm that won’t effect my town in any way. When you do open the notifications to read them, sometimes it doesn’t open the one you clicked on and when it does open the one you want you have to click and then wait like 10 secs for it to actually pull up. On top of that if you have ocd about having the red notification bubbles on your Home Screen run away from this app. You have to open the app, go to account, open notifications and wait for the app to realize that you have opened the notification section. Then and only then will those red notification bubbles go away it is so annoying, they used to clear if you just simply opened the app. I liked this app before the update, it was intuitive and gave relatively accurate info (I mean it’s meteorology, it’s not always the easiest thing). Afterwards I can’t recommend it. And don’t get me started on the ads..ScorchbrownVersion: 14.9

I trust TWC’s weather reports, but can’t trust this app.This is the most horribly designed and highly problematic weather app of all time. Where to begin is the hardest part, I would say the most frustrating thing is that it will crash anytime I slide it to the background and try to pull it up again. I have to shut down the app every single time and reload it for it to work. It also will randomly push an ad through in a very glitchy way and then when you close out the ad the app crashes. It has so many ads with large click margins that navigating the app without clicking on an add as well is near impossible. Which creates a situation that only adds to the frustration of the above issue. I have an up to date phone, the software is fully updated along with the app, and I have high speed wifi connection. The problem isn’t on my end. Maybe they make the ‘free’ app this way to encourage you to upgrade it, but all it has encouraged me to do is delete the app and trust a different source for weather. If it wasn’t so glitchy I would easily pay for the upgraded services. You would think a company such as TWC would invest in upgrading this precariously balanced piece of garbage. The app is broken, you need to start over and redo it or you are going to lose more people just like you did me today after dealing with it crashing 3 times in 30 seconds..Adam LairdVersion: 12.35

Create an account for a “free” weather app?!!Weather Channel, my go to app for so many years- how far you’ve fallen. Open this up today after several uses already for planning a trip today day & suddenly nothing….but a new landing page requiring you to create an account; for a “free app” FULL of ads. The worst part is the PRIVACY POLICY. Read it. Our information is being sold to multiple, multiple 3rd party companies devices are tracked, among other things. This is so egregious & honestly scary. It’s also IMHO a total f-u to all the loyal users over the years. I’ve hung in for a long time because there are features that I like & frequently use. Its just become untenable with the barrage of ads that annoy & already collect info but now TWC has a new pay to play - we sell & collect info in an invasive manner, dangling more customization of services or you’re forced to stop using it. The Weather Channel(TV) was a thing of beauty to all weather geeks & people just interested in daily weather, the first few years. It turned in to a sensationalized story machine ad cranking, & occasional weather provider years ago, & something I dropped. I’m sad to say the app is next. Can’t imagine the paid version is less invasive of privacy. Two stars for some of the features after years of use. Trying some new apps now.🎤.Julie E. ChicagoVersion: 14.5

Zero starsI never write reviews. I had to for this one. I’ve had this app as long as I remember. 2010 maybe??? And I’ve always loved it. Accurate and easy to use. Fantastic really. Gave me what I needed and nothing more. Now there’s all this junk. Pure, useless, clickbait junk. Pop up ads everywhere! I like knowing where to touch the screen with a little muscle memory so I can get through my task of getting the weather and getting on with my life. But now this app has sold out SO hard I feel like I’m using a 1998 pc with no virus protection! And it’s not even poorly done! It’s strategic and timed perfectly so the screen moves at the perfect time so my finger correctly hits the ad and not the option I wanted. Effectively navigating me away from the app to a completely irrelevant ad that’s been tailored to me by the cookies I’ve agreed to use this app, that I’m not even going to look at because I’m now frustrated and trying to get back to my weather app. What over-paid executive approved this ridiculously bad interface? And why? So I can do a sinkhole video I won’t believe? The same sinkhole video that came out 8 months ago on 30 other apps that EVERYONE uses? Way to waste A TON OF MONEY ON NOTHING weather channel! All you did was make me use the weather app that came with my phone I that never really liked. Perfect case of if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Just bring back Joe Cantore. That’s all you had to do..MikesaysstopitVersion: 11.6.1

Worst update everI am not one to write reviews but this is one I just hate to speak on. I look at the weather everyday on my phone and so everyday I am completely annoyed. I used to be able to see the what I wanted to know immediately the top of the page, current temp. High, low, humidity, and feels like. now not only do I have to scroll down to find that information and then scroll across, but it is so difficult to read it might as well not even be there. also, I used to be able to scroll down on the main page that pops up and find the hurricane tracker now I don’t even know where it’s at on the app despite using it for a few months. This app does not get any easier to use with time. It’s awful. I can’t understand, why they made these changes. They should’ve the very least give the option to revert back to the previous version. Whoever designed this version should be fired. And the ridiculous amount of ads that come up on the main page now are unbelievable. They have to be swimming in money from the ads and do not care that the users don’t like the new version. Unfortunately, they probably know that they are about the most reliable gig in town so they feel like they’re not gonna lose users and they’re probably banking on the fact people will pay to subscribe to not see the stupid ads..Akw reviewsVersion: 14.11

New Update Ruined ItI’ve had this app for about 8 years and loved it. The major overhaul they did a couple years ago made it run slow and the ads were excessive, but the new features and overall look made up for those small annoyances. All the information you could need in one app, and it was usually more accurate and up to date than any other weather app I’ve used. The update they did about a week ago has ruined the app. It look is nice, but that’s about it. It doesn’t load properly, and it glitches when you try to switch between locations. These major bugs have ruined my plans several times already. I need accurate and precise weather information for my job outdoors in many different towns, and I no longer have that. Not only does it glitch, they took away a few key features that you don’t get in the free version anymore. I only see 12 hours ahead for weather forecasts down to the hour, and I can no longer even look at today’s weather in 15 minute increments. Even right now, with it pouring rain outside causing flash flooding and thunder it says it’s sunny and partly cloudy outside with rain in the future. I didn’t get warned of how severe the weather would be or that it was nearby until it was too late to medicate my anxious dog for it. And despite all this, there’s even MORE ads now!.Niall'sTRUEprincessVersion: 14.9

Can’t properly forecast within the hour.It is amazing how often the forecast switches hour to hour within the day. I looked at the app this morning and planned to go outside before it said it would rain at 2 PM. Then, a couple of hours later, it said that there would be a brief period of morning rain and then clear up within the hour. I waited for the rain to clear up, looked at the forecast again and it was different than it was the hour before. Why would anybody pay for premium when they can’t even get a proper forecast for the next couple of hours, let alone an extended forecast days into the future. It seems like whenever I look at the ten-day forecast it changes hour to hour for the upcoming week. I would definitely not use this app to plan anything outdoors. Supposedly, they have these weather experts and computer models that should be able to accurately predict the weather, but more often than not, they get it wrong. I guess that I am going to have to rely on my local news weather app in the future because it doesn’t seem like The Weather Channel has any local minds working on my forecast. I understand that my region is a difficult area to get the weather correctly, but this company’s primarily focus is on weather. If I could give this app a rating of zero stars I would. Frickin’ clown time..Bok-KyuVersion: 12.22

Money grab developers strike againBack a few years ago in the early days of the App Store, probably 8-10 years ago in fact, I purchased the ad free version of this app called Weather Channel Max. Good app, no ads and it worked well. Then about 2-3 years ago the app updated and said that this app will no longer be supported and that would be the final update. It stated the other version(the one with ads) would be the only version supported. I continued to use the app I paid for until it kept crashing after iOS updates and was pretty much forced to use the app with ads. Now I see you can go premium on this app and remove ads. That really ticks me off considering I had previously paid for the ad free version, only to have them snub it. I, at first, just thought they were only getting rid of max so they would force those who paid a one time fee for the ad free version back on the app that has ads. Not only was that true, but now, in hopes that people would forget(which I didn’t) they now offer a monthly subscription service to get rid of ads. This is a sad attempt at getting even more money from me. I will now be deleting the app and using another app instead. I’ve already given enough money to you all only to be asked for more. I’m really disappointed how greedy developers are becoming and all over an app that gives you mediocre weather reports..BsadleVersion: 10.12

New Format for iPhone is TERRIBLEI loved this application. It is consistently the most accurate forecasts for the Cleveland area, where it can be pouring rain in one spot but clear and sunny 5 minutes away. Unfortunately, the latest update 8/24 introduced a new format. This new format is HORRIBLE. Instead of presenting all weather info in a clear and concise manner, it now only shoes one aspect and requires switching back and forth. Every time I try to scroll, apparently I click on an entirely new page. The font and information is much too large. It is no longer possible to open The Weather Channel app, scroll down and get a comprehensive idea of what the weather will be like throughout the entire day, or week. Honestly, it is so frustrating and unhelpful I no longer use it at all, whereas prior to to the update I was opening and reading the information at least 5 times/day. For those of us who work outside, and find weather critical to decision making, please ditch this new format. You are losing customers and users (and not just me!). I cancelled my subscription renewal. If it was possible to cancel immediately for a refund, I would! Please go back to the old format. It was condensed, comprehensive, very readable and user friendly. THE NEW UPDATE RUINED THIS APP.Lasted Update ruined itVersion: 14.9.1

Used to be 5 starsAs life continues in this Land of the Free Market, we see more and more “monthly subscriptions” as alternatives to pesky ads and better performance. BUT THIS APP HAS GOT TO BE THE BEST EXAMPLE OF THE WORST APP TO DO IT TO. I mean seriously?!? I’ve had this app for YEARS. It was the best performing, most accurate, and user friendly weather app out there. It exceeded all these built in apps and that annoyingly wrong weather-bug thingy (that was a joke for the ones that’ll miss it) when it came to reliability. THEN ONE DAY, corporate decided they wanted a piece of the “subscription” pie and turned this app into the biggest pain in the neck I have ever experienced. It is now so consumed by ads, spammy, and laggy. It spams it’s own app with its own advertising also (had to say that one separate since they control that). It now only shows certain things with “premium” (might as well write it off as ‘only useable as premium’) and has literally made the free version of the app just bad enough to make you buy the “good” version. Is that what it’s come to? Are we now ruining our once good-quality product, so that we can turn around and offer the original good-quality version again for a hefty price? I mean, seriously. Just give me an option to one-time buy it and I’ll think about it, but I’m the mean time I’m over this..CmiesterVersion: 11.6.1

Very disappointedSome features of this new improved app are helpful but basic information being available at a glance was abandoned in favor of flashy modern graphics. I miss a quick daily view with not only temperatures, but also wind speeds and wind direction along with precipitation percentages without having to scroll though a long day to day listing. Also the quality of the radar product is much to be desired with very fuzzy low resolution images that does not clearly display the storm features as well as the old pro version. Also the combination of a past and future radar product is unnecessary and in fact it is confusing, especially since the future images are very low resolution and blotchy. I would love to disable the future function entirely. Whats more (since the weather channel manages accuweather) the old accuweather format was replaced with the new weather channel format. Additionally I was hoping that by purchasing the subscription product of the weather channel that there may be new useful information. Sadly all the subscription buys is the elimination of in product ads. I am certainly looking for a replacement weather product for both the weather channel and accuweather that provides the information that I rely on quickly and at a glance..CoopesgVersion: 11.19

Could be great app if it workedWhen it works I like the app. I like the changes and if it loads it is a useful tool. For me the videos and weather updates are very good. Not sure what the problem is, but for some reason and this seems to happen frequently — the app doesn’t load (spinning disk) or it just crashes and restarts and then back to spinning disk. So if it loads (might work for days and then not work for days) it is a good app. I have noticed the app works best in places with high speed internet. In a place outside or in a place that lacks high speed internet or great cell service, the app just won’t open quickly (maybe 5-10 mins to open). I have an iPhone X with the newest software and the newest version of the app, so I don’t think it is the phone. Anyway, if the stability can be improved and it can open quickly than it would be a great app. Update: I downloaded the new version and it worked ok for a week (I.e. seemed like an improvement) and then crash city and or the spinning wheel of Watson after that. Now it is useless again. Weather is such an important thing to know and I have no idea why the concept of an app that works is so hard. I stick by what I wrote above - when the app works, it is great, but for some reason it doesn’t work most of the time. Like others, I now use other apps that work all of the time..Havin'Fun-in-LouisianaVersion: 10.9.1

*Used to be* greatUsed to be. Used to have good forecasts, unobtrusive ads, lots of information easily accessible. Now? Full screen ads pop up at random with no obvious way to clear them. Just when you’ve scrolled down to the part you’re looking for, an ad or some other “feature” displays and resets you back to the top. Constant “reminders” that you should pay for their premium service to get more days of grossly inaccurate daily forecasts, or similarly inaccurate hourly forecasts down to the 15 minute level instead of hourly. Or maybe the good forecasts only come if you pay, and the free service uses the dartboard technique? Often it’s worse than the old Les Nessman “Eyewitness Weather” gag on WKRP in Cincinnati. (“Stick your head out the window and witness the weather.” Except they apparently have no window.) The only good part is the radar, if you can find it before the screen goes back to the top or to an ad. UPDATE: “Improved” again. New fancy main screen but you have to scroll right to see the current weather conditions - which do NOT include wind direction! And radar has been moved again. But ads and useless “features” are easy to find. I guess soon you’ll have to pay just to get any actual weather information. 👎👎.MoGrizzaVersion: 14.4

The Weather Channel App ReviewIf you love ads that cover the entire screen when checking the weather, this app is perfect for you. If you love 30-second ads before literally any and all videos, this app is going to be amazing for you. BUT WAIT, you can pay for The Weather Channel Premium to get rid of the constant and never-ending ads blocking the entire screen! You may ask, “why would I pay money when i can get less ads literally anywhere else, like Accuweather?” Great question because this app gives Premium users extra content! You may never watch/use this extra content! You might as well buy a professional weather app for the money! But, hey, at least you don’t have ads anymore!!! If you can’t afford Premium, well good luck seeing the actual weather! Although this is the “Weather” Channel, the only experience you will get is the “ad” channel. Want a preview of what type of ads you will see? Turn on the Weather Channel on TV. See all those terribly made ads for people over 65? BOOM. Those! You will have literally so many of those they will crash your phone as they fight for dominance over your phone screen. Don’t get me wrong, I have loved The Weather Channel for years, but this is the worst thing they have ever done, and their time for redemption is running out..Chris_j5614Version: 12.38

New version is horrible!Mine apparently just updated to the new version of the app and I hate it. I don’t need a sentence at the top telling me the temp, I’d rather it be simpler and more direct and simply show the number. This new design is too cluttered and busy, with the color-scheme and new symbols/icons is just harder to look at, which in addition to all the ads and extra just makes it more difficult to find the info I’m looking for even when it’s right in front of me. Granted it may not be that way for others, but I have ADHD, and like it simpler and more direct so I can just glance and see the info I need or at least easily find how to get to it. Now the previous was already messed up from all the ads slowing it down and new updates to it making it more and more buggy, not to mention more ads and things making me have to scroll a lot more just to get to where I could view the hourly and daily forecasts, but I’d rather deal with that than this nonsense. I already didn’t like the new version on my new iPad that only lets me view it landscape layout and wouldn’t rotate to portrait orientation, so I haven’t used the app on my iPad anymore. The blue color scheme and previous icons were much nicer and easy on the eyes. Stop cluttering up your app design, you just keep making it worse!!.DragonStormGoddessVersion: 14.8

Used to love this appUpdate…I’m actually down grading my previous rating. It’s not as accurate as it used to be and it shows the current temperature in two places, but they are often different. For instance, on the top it currently shows 80 and partly cloudy. At first I thought maybe it’s the feel like temp, but scroll down a little and it shows ‘Temperature’ 78; ‘Feels like’ 81. Sometimes it’s only a couple of degrees off but I’ve seen it as much as 5 degrees off. First, let me say this is the most accurate weather app I’ve ever found. We’ve tried probably a dozen of them This is the most accurate. Now the reason for the three stars versus five stars, they’ve changed the app. You used to be able to open up the app and you could see what the current temperature was, what the high and the low are supposed to be for the day, the chance of rain, etc. Now you have to click elsewhere to find the chance of rain. I want to be able to open up the app see what I want, get out and get on with my day. I don’t need to be clicking all over the place to get what I need. they have added an option where you can customize some of the information but the chance of precipitation is not one of the options..AdoptdontshopVersion: 14.8

Less useful since update 2018I used this app multiple times per day in the past but since the 2018 update, I have hardly used it at all. The data is accurate. It is hard to find the info you need. They now have boxes on the screen with different info. The screen is so chopped up you can’t see enough of any one thing to figure out what it is. The previous version was better when current details were on the first screen and you could scroll down to whatever section you need. There was enough info on the screen to understand and you had the option to tap an arrow to get more detailed info if you wish. Now I see 2 or 3 words, then a box with an ad, then 4 or 5 words and then another ad. Nothing is obvious that you can tap to get more details. I hate tapping all over the screen to figure out what gives more details since the first screen is useless and there is nothing to indicate how to get details. Please revise back similar to the previous functionality which was efficient and obvious how to operate the app! I haven’t ever written a review before when an app changed, but this one is so bad it deserves a comment. The only reason that it gets 2 stars is because the data is accurate if you are ever able to get to it..Frustrated former app userVersion: 10.1.1

Should be able to exit an add without knowing 2 languagesSo every other time i check the weather there’s an add about social security in spanish which, (a) social security should only be for American citizens and to become a citizen of this country it is a requirement to be able to read and write english so why have an add only spanish speaking people understand, and (b) also why does this app allow it to be able to cover all content and no exit button and even the google ads page doesn’t properly fit the screen to see all options. the content of the actual app is okay but the constant advertising and the fact the adds aren’t made for an easy exit but instead are malicious and try to redirect you to an unsecured website possibly to phish data from your phone. This spam type behavior continues I’ll lower my rating and delete the app. Ads aren't a big deal, EXCEPT when they are trying to steal data or are illegally downloading content and clickbait style ads that redirect you when you’re trying to just close the ad. it should have a very obvious and large enough button to close said ad or dont cover the content of the app. UPDATE: Deleted app after new update, kicked off the app unless you create a login etc. I never had that beforehand..BringbacktruthVersion: 14.10

TrashI used to tolerate this app… until I was locked in an advertisement video with no means of exiting (or even pausing) the video. The app takes away all options and make you sit through the advertisement, even if the following video was autoplayed and you have no interest in watching it (generally not the point of commercials) I totally get that apps make money primarily through ad revenue and I dont begrudge them that privilege for going to the trouble of making/updating the app… but seriously, hijacking the user’s phone just to ensure they watch an ad from start to finish is morally questionable at best; it would be like television commercials locking your remote control so youre unable to change the channel. Ads are intended to seek out potential customers and increase brand awareness and when used right can be a good thing. What The Weather Channel (and countless others as well) has done is to reformat ads from the highly functional customer-seeking, brand-expanding tool they were into an annoying, unwanted waste of time that makes users feel frustrated and trapped (TOTALLY what you want someone to feel when youre trying to sell them your product) and surely diminishes the value of the ads being run for the companies sponsoring and paying for them..SnappyDragon87Version: 12.25

Does not deserve one star for this updateGIVE US BACK THE OLD APP!!! This is no concise weather report. And: Bad background; bad graphics; bad set up. Too many ads, too many screen options. The best weather information is plain and simple (as this app used to be): current conditions, forecast, radar, and then the other options like future forecasts, air quality, etc. The Weather Channel has been my go-to for weather forecasts since it was on TV—with no commercials. (Who can remember back that far?!) My version of Direct TV does not offer The Weather Channel so I have been relying on my iPhone app; not any more. Either give me the option of having the old app back or do a major fix to the current mess. If not I will be deleting this app. There are plenty of weather apps out there so why go with something so inferior. ALSO VERY IMPORTANT TO ME (and others) IS BAROMETER INFO. IT CAN HAVE A MAJOR AFFECT ON HEALTH. Please add the barometer and don’t forget direction as well as numbers. I still have the old app on my tablet; using it when I am home. I just don’t get why Weather apps want to go too fancy. It is not what people want when they want weather. Save the fancy and extras for those wiling to pay for it, then you will not have to mess up a good, basic weather app. Hope you get the message from me and many others..BarometerbabeVersion: 10.0

Constant reminders to go premium when I already have and no accessibility support for Apple Watch.I think this app would be great if it worked for everybody on every device, but they seem to have left out those of us who use voiceover, who need to know what the weather is too. It’s not all about the sighted people! I’m trying to figure out why those of us who use voiceover should have to pay full price for premium when everything doesn’t work for us? Also, I’m getting really tired of the constant reminders to go premium, when I already have. I have to go and tell it that I want to go premium first, for it to tell me that I already am, before the stupid thing will go away until the next senseless time it pops up. Until these things are fixed, we shouldn’t be charged to use the app. There’s not a whole lot of premium quality to go in premium when you have a visual impairment and most of the stuff doesn’t work with voiceover, something that’s built into the iOS, and there’s no excuse for it to not work with it. Also, I’m trying to figure out why, if this app is included, even if it’s a dumbed down version of it, with iOS, does it have completely different forecasts? The temperatures don’t always match either..Mom24monstersVersion: 10.17

Way too muchThe new app is a very, very negative change. The old navigation was fine and did not need an overhaul because this is just a weather app. There’s WAY TOO MUCH extra stuff involved with this app, and I really don’t understand why these guys try so hard to make it entertaining. It’s literally just the weather, I’m not looking to be entertained and I doubt anyone else opens up the weather channel app like “oh boy it’s time to have a good time”. We just want to see a forecast and a radar and that’s it. The air pollution number also seems completely inaccurate because it’s different every time I open my app. Not to mention the recent discovery of a weather channel weatherman pretending to be pushed around by winds that just weren’t there. To the point where he’s babbling about the storm being in the middle of an intense surge or something like that, meanwhile a couple of pedestrians walk behind him wearing shorts and hoodies, not affected by the wind at all. Plus, he’s visibly fighting the wind in the opposite direction that it’s blowing. You can see plants blowing in the opposite direction of where he’s pushing. That being said, I feel like all the weather on here anymore is exaggerated because they think it’s entertaining to people. It’s really just a nuisance and the reason I’m getting a new weather app..Walterwilson0315Version: 10.1

Bad UpdateThis used to be my favorite 5 star weather app. I love to track weather and preparing for my day each day by using the TWC app but that all changed with this new update. First of all I do not wear sunscreen and base my outfits on the uv index and that has now been removed. Next the app used to be easy to navigate and get all the relevant weather information for the day as well as some great videos that I would watch in the morning as I wake up, but now the app is confusing with too much going on. I understand in today’s world to stay relevant you need to make change but this change was not for the better, to confusing now and hard to find information. I feel bad for all the sponsors that would pay for spots in the videos because based on the way the videos are set up I bet less people will watch them, I know I no longer will. I hope that TWC can fix this app and make it more user friendly again with an easy to find uv index. I am not deleting the app yet but until it is changed I will no longer use the app and will start downloading new weather apps in hopes of finding a suitable daily replacement. I hope this does not fall on deaf ears, the TWC app was the best but not anymore. Thank you and have a great day..A disgruntled consumer99Version: 10.0

Why do places always mess with their apps?Update: it’s been a few weeks so I thought I’d check to see if the app had improved since the big overhaul but the answer is nope. I’m not going to complain about the endless ads - I get that, everyone needs to make money, but when I logged in apparently they still can’t keep my favorites list in the order I want it. Each time I start up it’s reorganized itself to a different order, and doesn’t make sense. It would be one thing if it was alphabetical but it’s like the app hits shuffle every time. So buggy, guess I’m still keeping this one deleted…not to mention not takes up a large amount of memory compared to other apps My app just updated and already I want to throw the phone when trying to use it. Besides being hard to read the current forecast as it is printed over top of a picture it’s messed up all my saved locations. I had a half dozen places I like to see the weather at in a glance and they were arranged in a very specific order. Now every time I go in they are rearranged. I fix it using their edit button and when I go back in they’ve rearranged to a random order again.

Horrible updateThe latest update version of this app is terrible. I’ve been using this app for years, and while the forecasts are not always accurate, it provided a fair amount of information in a workable format…until now. The latest update was a complete redesign, and now u have to log in (and u can guess what they’re doing with your data.) The display no longer has a dark format option, which is already a deal breaker for me, as I hate looking at a bright white screen. The option to “customize” the information displayed is a good idea, but even when u choose your “custom” format, it still puts out info that u haven’t requested. Also, it doesn’t allow for customization of the home screen, so 2/3 of the screen is constantly filled by the radar projection (with the aforementioned annoying white background instead of the much less eye-irritating black background that it used to have,) and all of the other info is crammed into the remaining third of the screen, which u have to scroll through. Super annoying. I deleted it immediately, and I will not be reinstalling this app ever again. It’s just sad that they took a relatively good app and made it trash..Tpad79Version: 14.8

Ridiculousness: a sign of the timesToday again I see that the Weather Channel app information disagrees with itself. At 10:15am, the app tells with its image (a cloud with raindrops beneath) that it is currently raining; while the depiction on the opening screen for local weather tells that it is snowing. Of course rain changes to snow and snow to rain, but these people who make these decisions about the app do not seem to realize that ‘changeable precipitation’ and ‘wintry mix’ have a meaning in English. Many times, I have seen current predictions of rain when the skies are clear. And the near-term forecasts are often inaccurate. The stark changes of near-term (the next four hours) forecasts should not be so erratic if the meteorologists are using truly sophisticated and rapidly updated computer models with sophisticated algorithms. What is really amazing is that the user is frequently solicited to purchase a longer forecast, where two days becomes four or five. Why would people want a five day forecast when the very-nigh term forecast of just 48 hours is so unreliable? The answer must be that craziness is becoming more and more commonplace. (In early February 2021, the United States government includes a person who is gaining succes de scandale notoriety, and all is stultified.).Human RightsVersion: 12.6

Excellent, *BUT*.....Used to be my go to weather app as it was very accurate. If it said it would rain at 8:02, it would start raining at 8:02! However, if you follow the news, TWC Product and Technologies LLC (owned by IBM) are being sued for duping people into allowing location data for weather forecasting, but are also using that data to sell to others. I know you’ll say that’s nothing new today, but my iPhone 7 Plus’ battery has been lasting longer since deleting the app..Gone_PostalVersion: 10.3

UpdateI hate the update so I won’t be using it anymore!! Bring back the old version!.Im lucky lilVersion: 11.4

GOODBYE weather app.So this is the 3rd update & it keeps getting worse. I wish the App developer would READ the reviews. People are not happy with your updates. Revert to the older version - the one before you started hitting people with your graphs upon opening the app. People don’t have time for graphs. They want a quick numeric reference to plan their day from. I am now deleting this from my phone. Thanks for not listening. You just freed up space in my phone. My previous review : If I could rate this a ZERO, I would. But the review has it defaulted on 1 star. There is an old saying that rings true- “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it”. Please read the recent reviews - your users are NOT happy with the past 2 upgrades. Please revert back to the old app that doesn’t hit the user with a graph !!! Please bring back the old version. No one has the time to examine your graphs - if you must have them then put it at the end of all the other screens. People want a quick and reliable weather app. Quick means I can get what I need at first glance. What does the average person need ? Hourly, daily, 36 hrs & 14 days at a glance in numeric format. NOT a graph ! A barometer for migraine sufferers would be awesome but I’m not holding my breath. This used to be my favourite of all weather apps Now sadly it is one of the most frustrating ones out there. If I don’t see another update in the next week then I bid this app a final farewell..Rtrddfyvnluex jussVersion: 10.3

Greedy DeveloperI use to go the premium subscriptions when the price is 5.99 a year. And this year, it is 7$a month. What a greedy developer. Already deleted..DayanjingdexiaozhengtaiVersion: 11.13

Not Going To Use AnymoreNew updates continually ask to go premium every time I open the app for what features I get for free from other apps or sources? Ridiculous. Deleting..KVaillantVersion: 11.6.1

Invasive on privacy - deletingRequesting to use my phone’s location and pressure sensors data is a bit too demanding for my taste. In particular considering they state they will share your private information at their own discretion - apparently without consulting us. If you reject the request, they shut off the app. Now the app is useless and just taking up space on my phone - so logically I will delete it..IPhone-BJVersion: 11.5

Greedy appEnough with the prompts to pay for info free on every other Weather app! Too many adverts - should be making enough money from all the repeated ads and videos and spam showing up when I check my weather - now you want payment to show wind speed and direction! Give me a break..DeletingcrapappVersion: 11.5

Wrong forecastRaining. App showing not a rain. I paying 40$ an year. I would like say to you: F... your app and your service.AgaruppaVersion: 12.2

Rip off - don't downloadI downloaded this app because they claim to have an in app purchase to remove ads for $5.49/year. But the only in app purchase offered in the app is premium for $13.49/year that removes ads and gives you some extended forecast info. I purchased the premium membership but the ads are still showing. I tried restore purchase - the app claims there is nothing to restore. I tried deleting the app, then restore purchase - app still claims there's nothing to restore. I confirmed through iTunes that I do indeed have the in app purchase in my list of subscriptions, good until Aug 11, 2020. And then, there in the subscription list is also shown the option to simply remove ads for $5.49. The Weather Channel is doing the old bait and switch - they tell you in the app description that you can remove ads for $5.49 as an in app purchase, but don't allow you to actually purchase that option from their app..RdbkornVersion: 10.16

No one pays any attention1) you pay the no adverts fee and still get Google Adverts 2) when you send feedback you get error messages because even though the feedback lists multiple countries it on accepts feedback from the United States. 3) when you do provide feedback you are simply ignored.MGFerrisVersion: 14.0.2

Adds are awfulI’ve never left a review before, but the ads have now made this app pointless. Every time I scroll it catches an ad and it opens the App Store, which I have to close and then reopen this app and wait while it reloads and then go back to the screen I was on. I’ve had this app for years, but deleting it now..Ask4theseaVersion: 12.37

Wrong like a ballI was watching the weather this whole week. When my other two apps predicted lots of snow, this app predicted up to 2 cm of snow today as of 8:40 am. What do you know. It’s now 20-30 cm..Weather policeVersion: 12.37

Bad businessIBM should not get in bed with Justin Trudeau and stop trying to take things from legal owners I will no longer use this app.Damien3214Version: 12.4.1

The new design is pretty awfulI’ve been using this app for years but really don’t like it now just from a design and usability perspective. It only opens in horizontal view and the larger portion of the screen is filled with nothing I’m interested in ( in my case a large map) with the weather on the other third. I just want to check the weather so having to flip the screen around just to see it (and now a smaller view than before), is just clunky and unnecessary. Changing to another app..BeamusicloverVersion: 14.10

The worst app since they changed itYou’ll see. Wrong location every single time you open it. Doesn’t let you saved your edited places. Loading times have increased drastically with this app. Just garbage..Honest and fairVersion: 14.10

New upgrade a backward stepNew upgrade is a confusing layout with less useful information. Too many graphics and too many clicks to get the info I need. I lost all my previously selected locations. Had to recreate from scratch. I wish I could revert back to the previous version. Will replace app with a better product..GooggggggggggggggfffjVersion: 14.10

Froze😤 entered location, then hit looks good. Won’t let me click on I understand policies. So not getting anything ! Added another location, same issue. App is junk when it used to be great 😤😤😠😖😫.Lolly-loreVersion: 14.6

Used to be good they upgraded it now it’s rubbishI used to love this channel at several apps, but I always use this one since you’ve upgraded it and was upgrades before that it’s slowed it down so it takes so long to load. It’s hardly worth it and everything is washed out. The format used to be good now it’s not you’ve taken the app from what it used to be less than what you can get for free. Any people looking to buy this thing should think it’s a waste of money now. Eric McAdam.0erick0Version: 14.5

Horrible updateThe changes are awful! Before this update, it was pleasing to the eye, and relevant information was the first thing you’d see. Not that it was accurate, but sometimes they’d get it right anyway. Now it looks like a toddler designed it. I am deleting this app..I am the goddess of windVersion: 14.1.1

No windchill and a new layoutThere is no windchill on the phone's main tab at all. We live in Canada and windchill is the only stuff that matters for us. Also new version for the iPad is terrible. You want to click on the app to check temp and now all screen goes to landscape mode and it shows maps 90% of the space. Also notifications are showing in Fahrenheit’s instead Celsius. Please bring back portrait mode and include windchill Please bring the old layoutas well . And fix notifications to show Celsius. The old app was great..DjUro20Version: 14.0.2

TerribleThe new redesign for 2024 is awful. It forces you to rotate to landscape mode, and there is no option to use it in portrait mode. For that alone, I will not use this app. I would give it zero stars if I was able..BunnyBunnyBunBunVersion: 14.0.1

Location name still wrongI’ve forgotten how many times over the last 2 years I’ve submitted a report about this.

Practically useless appOpen the app, within 30 seconds it launches an ad, usually AppleTV in the browser window, as if I clicked on the ad but I didn’t. Often the ad isn’t even on screen. And when you go back to the app it’s frozen. Force close, open app back up, same thing happens again. Same issue for several months of updates and they never fix it..Gotta bojang itVersion: 12.37

Keeps freezingKeeps freezing. I’ve also decided that a forecast that changes 4 times a day is useless. Also they can’t get it right HALF the time but want to predict to such a certain degree it’s comical. 38% chance of rain, really????? Then it changes to 47, then 25, then 32. I’m done with this guessing weather app.PpdingdongVersion: 12.33

Uninstalled. Totally Unreliable data.Literally POURING right now, socked in with rain clouds across multiple neighbourhoods (all I can see), and has been all day. “No rain,” in my municipality, it said.

Representation of info as cf to other appsNot sure why, but this app’s information does NOT AGREE with comparable apps. Why is this? Do we not have one National weather observation and reporting system? Dec 7/18 Whatever motivated the recent changes - I want to register my dissatisfaction with their presentations and functions. Visually it’s not intuitive. It seems to be designed by young bored minds who need to change something for the sake of changing it. It appears to have been changed to favour technical minds - with little thought to informative visuals, etc. Functionally, there is a frustrating malfunction: When I search for information outside of my default settings, then suspend that information in order to verify something else, on another app, then return to this app, it simply SHUTS DOWN the information ALREADY FOUND, and REVERTS to the DEFAULT LOCAL SETTING!! What a useless piece of work!! A WASTE OF TIME AND EFFORT!! I’m about to DELETE THIS APP, it’s so FRUSTRATING!! Who thought this was a good idea? That person ought to be retrained, or failing that, fired!!.NeufelderVersion: 10.3

Interface confusing, missing pressure graphI agree with most recent reviews - new interface is confusing. The pressure graph is missing for some weird reason (pressure is shown as value, but missing the graph from “details”). Add to that the altogether missing customization options and you get something below the average as far as the weather apps are concerned. Ah, and that seems to be the same team that took the best weather app that was - Storm by WU and made it into the useless thing it is now - Storm Radar. You can see the same design with the same flaws....DodolotVersion: 10.2
