1. [R1] WSB-TV Weather 2/5 · US Inaccurate many times: I’ve used WSB primarily for years to get weather information. It seems as though the weather alerts are not as accurate as they used to be. Putting in location for more specific prediction doesn’t seem to make a difference. Predictions often don’t occur. Weather is unpredictable, but with today’s technology it should be easier and more accurate to be more correct.
2. [R7] WSB-TV Weather 2/5 · US Radar?: Why did they think changing the radar was a good thing? It is no longer helpful in what is coming or the severity of it ! Radar looks like an older version that no one thought to use until now. Hate it.
3. [R10] WSB-TV Weather 2/5 · US Update ruined it: I woke up one morning and everything changed! I can adjust to most of the changes. But there is nothing live about the radar. It now is 5-15 minutes behind real time. We had a nearby tornado a couple mornings ago and I was unable to track it because of the lag in the radar. Had to find a new app.
4. [R16] WSB-TV Weather 1/5 · US Radar map: I don’t like the radar map changes.
5. [R4] WSB-TV Weather 2/5 · US Not like it used to be: When I first got the app (the weather app & news app) it was always consistent and on point. Since the update it crashes and/or just hangs. A couple of months ago the take cover alert pinged my phone after the fact. I track the weather for family and friends to make sure they’re able to stay safe during severe weather. The old app gave plenty of time to prepare and get to s
6. [R6] WSB-TV Weather 3/5 · US Notifications are terrible: I love the setup of the app, but it’s useless in terms of its notifications. I consistently get warned of precipitation, thunder, or other occurrences about 20-30 minutes after it’s occurred. This could be a life or death situation if someone was depending on this for tornado warnings. Please with on this.
7. [R20] WSB-TV Weather 4/5 · US Weather: When I first joined the app, the weather was spot on. I live on the lake, so it was great to have the alerts. But lately, the alerts have not been correct at all.
8. [R28] WSB-TV Weather 1/5 · US Lightning notifications slow: The lightning detection notification is hours behind. It used to be helpful, now it’s worthless and annoying to get a notification about lightning in my area hours after it actually happened and when there are currently no storms in the area.
9. [R8] WSB-TV Weather 4/5 · US Too many ads: Ads block information
10. [R12] WSB-TV Weather 3/5 · US Review: Window world ad to start with I don’t need windows just weather.
11. [R19] WSB-TV Weather 2/5 · US Awful: Too many adds!!!!
12. [R22] WSB-TV Weather 1/5 · US To many ads: Y’all have totally ruined this app with all the ads.
13. [R3] WSB-TV Weather 3/5 · US Weather: It doesn't update properly
14. [R13] WSB-TV Weather 2/5 · US Radar changes are bad: Before I updated this app there was a choice to see a “combo” radar that showed the past couple of hours and then the future 6 hours. This update took this ability away. Guess I will have to start depending on the Weather Channel app which still has this radar ability.
15. [R15] WSB-TV Weather 3/5 · US Too many useless updates: I signed up for severe weather alerts but WSB sends weather that is just information not needed
16. [R24] WSB-TV Weather 3/5 · US Old favorite, but FAR too many alerts now: I loved the app and have had it installed on my phone for YEARS but there has been a change made recently which sends out alerts on every, single, change, in the weather. This ruins the entire concept of an “alert.” I have this app installed to get alerts on severe storms or tornadoes not to get audio alerts on the fact that northwest GA is dry, or there
17. [R50] WSB-TV Weather 1/5 · US Unnecessary Notifications: This app gives you spam notifications that are not weather events.
18. [R51] The Weather Channel 1/5 · US Latest iTunes app update CRASHES!: Scrolling to the right (right arrow) to see more than the next 10 hours now CRASHES you out of the app! Good job developers!
19. [R52] The Weather Channel 5/5 · US Wonderful help tool: Helps me make plans... and keep up with family and friends all over the world, as well as Local on the 8’s.
20. [R53] The Weather Channel 3/5 · US To many ads: The whole ad thing started not to long ago. I get it. That’s how you make money. When you go none to some it’s an annoyance.
21. [R54] The Weather Channel 1/5 · US Needs updating: Why when I am at work does it say that I am at home? And when I am at home, it says I am at work? I have it set to know where it is at all times
22. [R65] Weather 2/5 · US Lots of good weather stats, but…: Very poor at short-term forecasts. Predictions about rain chances are always way off.
23. [R66] Weather 5/5 · US Great App!: Fantastic job!
24. [R67] Weather 3/5 · US Radar unreliable: Not all the time but more often than not, the radar has no idea what’s going on. Like just seconds ago, I checked the radar and there was a good bit of rain about to be right in my area, then minutes later, it’s gone!! It happens to me quite often actually. I don’t know if it’s something with my iPhone 14 or?? Sometimes when you try zooming in, the precipitation on the radar disa
25. [R68] Weather 1/5 · US No just no: Weather is inaccurate and also i hate that you permanently deleted dark sky the best weather app of all time it’s not fun either would not reccomend
26. [R79] FOX Weather 1/5 · US Do they use their own APP: Horrible. Whenever a story from Fox turns into a story from Fox Weather, I just close it. The APP takes up WAY too much screen, making it difficult, if not, impossible at times to scroll. You guys are are reaching, trying to get articles on the weather app. There is no need for this app.
27. [R80] FOX Weather 5/5 · US 🎯: Especially accurate at the Local Level!!!!
28. [R81] FOX Weather 3/5 · US Layout: Finding and adding towns/city. Extended 14 day forecast.
29. [R82] FOX Weather 2/5 · US Poor map display: Your old display for weather fronts, storms and the like was very good
30. [R93] WSB-TV News 1/5 · US Not user friendly: This app a waste of my time. It cuts the story off while the interview is going and just moves to the next story only to do the same thing. Also, most of the videos don’t show when you click on them; you can only hear people talking.
31. [R94] WSB-TV News 5/5 · US Excellent Updates: Excellent News Coverage
32. [R95] WSB-TV News 3/5 · US Stalls a lot: Can’t enjoy the app because it does not stay on or the videos stop frequently. Have to continuously come out of the app and go back in.
33. [R96] WSB-TV News 1/5 · US Bad News: Every time breaking news comes through it’s always “Bad or Depressing “ news. I’ve never read anything good on this app.
34. [R107] WBRC First Alert Weather 1/5 · US Need to learn how to predict weather: Really really need to learn how to predict weather 97 out of 100 times they are wrong. Same as ABC 33/40 and James Spann
35. [R108] WBRC First Alert Weather 5/5 · US Wbrc first alert weather: First alert 6 news
36. [R109] WBRC First Alert Weather 3/5 · US Weather Alert Notifications: Being able to check on the weather when I want to & see the predicted weather is helpful. What isn’t helpful is hearing the loud weather alert notifications at all hours of the day, that I already turned off. The settings are useless. I may just delete the app.
37. [R110] WBRC First Alert Weather 2/5 · US Follow Me Not Working Correctly: In Follow Me mode, it shows only partial hours for the current day and then skips an entire day when looking at hourly forecast.
38. [R2] WSB-TV Weather 5/5 · US Great app !: Love this storm team they are always dependable. The app never fails to give every notification.
39. [R5] WSB-TV Weather 5/5 · US Trust: Reliable weather reports that are consistent and accurate
