The Weather Channel: Forecast App Reviews

Accurate and reliable

One of my most used and go-to apps. Works well for me.

The last version was much easier to use and more useful. This one is too cumbersome to navigate.

The app works pretty well. I’m not seeing the things being complained about in other reviews. For whatever it’s worth, I have an iPhone 6+. However, years after my first complaint, the app still has one basic error in elementary-school science. The US does not and never did use the Imperial System. The Imperial System was developed in 1824, long after the independence of the United States, and it is not the same as the US Customary System, which is what the US uses. Both systems are based on the old English units that evolved in the middle ages from the units of the Roman Empire, but many US and Imperial units have different values, some substantially different, and they aren’t even always related to each other in the same way. A US Liquid Pint, for example, has 16 US Fluid Ounces, but an Imperial Pint (the Imperial System doesn’t have two different pints depending on whether it’s strawberries or cream that you’re measuring) has 20 Imperial Fluid Ounces. This is stuff that you should have been taught along with percentages, and should have learned over again the first time you looked at the “Handbook of Chemistry and Physics”. (And if you’re unacquainted with the latter, how can meteorology seriously claim to be a science?)

Too many ads!!!!

Provides the weather information that I need. Like the weather alerts that pop up. Ive been pleased. Radar information is very good as well.

Good info can be found elsewhere without all the noise of this app.

I used to love this app. Youd open and have current weather followed immediately by the days hourly forecast and then 5day forecast- expandable to 10, and then radar. Now you have to scroll through so much crap to get to each of these sections its annoying (crap = ads & the lift videos- in which the the western portion of the US only exists because weather travels from there to the almighty East, and include many videos that are just stupid). Ive thought about paying to get rid of the ads, but that still doesnt help that I have to scroll through many screens to get the info my my location that I am looking for. You also used to be able to do a one time search for weather in another location. Now you can only see whats happen somewhere else by adding it as a saved location. Very frustrating.

This app is very disappointing because oftentimes I will get a message saying weather data not available or the data is old. The Lift section of the app is not interesting and Ari (the Meteorologist guy) that comes on the screen to explain what the subject of the Lift story is all about is an arrogant jerk. He acts like he is too good to do what he is doing and talks 100 miles an hour. Remove the Lift stories and replace it with something else.... Like more current weather for my area. The weather predictions go way too far ahead in the weeks to come and are usually not accurate. You cant even get a 3 day forecast accurate why are you trying to give one that is nearly 2 weeks in advance?

I am happy with your app. I look at it every day. Keep up the good work.

Too many adverts and links making it miserably slow, and often fails to load/update at all

App keeps crashing upon opening. I have an Apple 6s. Please fix, I like this app.

Realtime, accurate and loads of info, not sure what more you could ask for.

Very good application And accuratte.

Look it provides good basic weather info when needed. If youre a weather geek and need more info go use a NWS site.

This app without fail crashes regularly for me. So Much that I go to local websites to see current weather and forecasts in my city.

What I like about this app is weather alerts they send for your area... But they are not true all the time...

There are so many weather apps available now. This one has greatly improved giving you much of the information you want in a format that is easy to use. It is my go to first app not only for my weather check but to keep up with the weather for my family spread around the country.

It is May 2. Dont you think it is time to replace the ski forecast? Maybe replace it with a beach or lake forecast. In all, I use this app everyday. Great app just update will make it better.

Until I needed to use the radar while sitting in the car rider line at my childs school and it said it wasnt available...
