  1. [R1] 9 StormTrack 1/5 · US Wrong area: Your app shows me Michigans weather even though it's set for Cincinnati weather. I can never find Cincinnati weather because there are no labels on the screens.
  2. [R7] 9 StormTrack 1/5 · US Kansas City: How do I get my local weather here? I don’t live in Wisconsin!
  3. [R9] 9 StormTrack 3/5 · US Location is everything: Someone recommended this app to me recently and I gave it a try. I like the features and the format. My only complaint is that it keeps giving me weather alerts for Wisconsin and I’ve never been there, living several states away. I changed which locations should generate alerts, removing all WI locations, but it keeps sending them.
  4. [R11] 9 StormTrack 5/5 · US Review: Just joined app recently! Why the top of app reflects OTHER STATES? Not the techiest person but would seem to want reflection of ok/ks/tx/ark? Love the RADAR !! Thx
  5. [R3] 9 StormTrack 3/5 · US Delete app: Advertisement on Boston scientific low back pain no way to delete it had to delete the weather app
  6. [R5] 9 StormTrack 5/5 · US To many ads: Fairly accurate but the stupid ads that are horrible to get rid of is making me use AccuWeather more often.
  7. [R17] 9 StormTrack 5/5 · US Pop up adds!: I love the weather app! It’s just there are to many pop up add lately.
  8. [R32] 9 StormTrack 1/5 · US Delete: This app was pretty good till the new update. Note when I want to check to see if rain or snow is on the way, I get a advertisement trying to sway me one way or another. If I wanted adds I’d go on the radio. Deleting this and getting different app
  9. [R10] 9 StormTrack 1/5 · US Glitchy: Why is this app so glitchy?? You can’t scroll past the video on the Home Screen without it switching to the video page. I installed this app because wsaw was having the same malfunctions, but now this one is just as bad.
  10. [R12] 9 StormTrack 3/5 · US Ok: It locks up all the time and I have to restart it !
  11. [R15] 9 StormTrack 3/5 · US Problems: Worked good for a while then wouldn't load, had to reinstall
  12. [R24] 9 StormTrack 1/5 · US Radar: Not sure what’s going on with the radar, but it won’t play anymore, and messed up. Is it only me? I’ve uninstalled and installed again as well.
  13. [R6] 9 StormTrack 3/5 · US Notifications: I am alerted to notifications but never see anything about the issues. How do you see or find the “Notifications “?
  14. [R28] 9 StormTrack 2/5 · US Used to be good: Used to be great, now you get warnings and updates for the entire state, I only need my area, not constant updates about a place 4 hrs away
  15. [R38] 9 StormTrack 2/5 · US Too many General notifications: They send out 3-4 notifications per day about the weather in general. I don’t need or want them. You have option to get wide range of notifications depending on the season/type of weather situation. But there’s no way to deselect all of the general ones talking about the forecast and how much precipitation fell. So I ended up turning off all notifications via phone
  16. [R40] 9 StormTrack 2/5 · US Was good. Not anymore: Constant notifications ruined this app for me. It was nice getting notifications for important weather updates, storms, warnings etc. The notifications now are excessive and I had to turn them off making this app less useful than it used to be
  17. [R4] 9 StormTrack 1/5 · US The Worst: This is the worst weather app I have ever installed. The weather predicted would be more accurate if they threw a dart on a weather board. Their accuracy is at most 15% correct for our area. I can’t begin to tell you how many times I changed my plans because of the impending weather only to find we did not receive that forecast! I have had this app at least 9 years and it has only gotte
  18. [R26] 9 StormTrack 1/5 · US Inaccurate: The radar over the past few months is very inaccurate even during big storms. I’m not talking typical predictions, it just is wrong. Switched to another networks app which seems to have better accuracy.
  19. [R51] WAFB 9News 2/5 · US Unreliable: Too many times a day/week/month the link from headline to article itself does not work. No problem getting the advertisement but not the actual story.
  20. [R52] WAFB 9News 4/5 · US My opinion: It is a great app to have. I receive to many notifications
  21. [R53] WAFB 9News 3/5 · US Alerts are too frequent / & Are not truly RELEVANT “Breaking News”: Please create more subcategories for “Breaking News” > ALERTS/Notifications. We all have very different concerns & interests, and what is relevant to our daily lives. *For example, general Court case results are not relevant to me, nor the majority of your viewers/subscribers, unless it personally affects us. - Ask yourselves: Who
  22. [R54] WAFB 9News 2/5 · US Not as good: App used to be much better. Now it’s hard to find things, and there is no rhyme or reason as to the order of stories.
  23. [R65] WFTV Weather 2/5 · US Channel 9 weather: Local radar is always offline
  24. [R66] WFTV Weather 5/5 · US The Best Weather App: Without a doubt, the best weather app so easy to use and very very informative. Tommy and crew are the best. 😊
  25. [R67] WFTV Weather 3/5 · US Inconsistent: I will check the forecast early am. One or two hours later the forecast has changed dramatically. Example this morning was predicted 10% rain at 6:30. About 8am rain chance went up to 80%. It never did rain at my location though
  26. [R68] WFTV Weather 1/5 · US radar: Lousy radar never seems to be accurate
  27. [R79] KCRG-TV9 First Alert Weather 2/5 · US Annoying ads: The app itself is fine, it plays an ad everytime you open the app even if you were just in it.
  28. [R80] KCRG-TV9 First Alert Weather 5/5 · US Awesome sauce: Joe winters omg
  29. [R81] KCRG-TV9 First Alert Weather 3/5 · US Videos are annoying: I don’t want to see videos all the time. I would rather have just the info pull up fist rather than the videos. I’m often checking the weather at work and I don’t want the video blaring but I have no idea what they’re saying.
  30. [R82] KCRG-TV9 First Alert Weather 2/5 · US Bad update: This has been a decent app. But recently they changed the radar so now you have to have a custom map to see the radar along with severe weather warnings. It’s a bit annoying and the custom radars don’t always load.
  31. [R93] WDAY StormTRACKER 2/5 · US Map speed: The radar map moves to fast. Should have an option to slow it down. Radar should be at least 6 hours long
  32. [R94] WDAY StormTRACKER 4/5 · US Locations: Love the app but right now I am unable to delete locations. The menu pops up for a nano second and disappears. Please fix!!
  33. [R95] WDAY StormTRACKER 3/5 · US Radar is not availed lots of days but VNL radar comes up wondering why: No radar lots of days good bye
  34. [R96] WDAY StormTRACKER 2/5 · US Can’t delete cities: I used to love this app, but something changed and I can no longer delete cities I am not interested in. I can see the menu show up briefly when I click the dots, but it doesn’t stay long enough to select delete. It’s annoying me enough that I am looking for a new weather app to replace it.
  35. [R107] WSVN Hurricane Tracker 1/5 · US Blank: When I open the app the options for forecast come and forecast models show up blank.
  36. [R108] WSVN Hurricane Tracker 5/5 · US Excellent ❤️🌹: My favorite app for hurricane season 🤏🏻.. thank you guys 🙌🏻🥂
  37. [R109] WSVN Hurricane Tracker 3/5 · US Usable information: These graphs and forests are great, but they do not tell average viewer The Who, what, when or where…..
  38. [R110] WSVN Hurricane Tracker 1/5 · US ad driven garbage: horrible app. ads all over the place. i’ll be taking this app out with the rest of the garbage
  39. [R18] 9 StormTrack 1/5 · US Not OK weather: This app opens every time in WI and you have to look for OKC. NOT helpful when you need storm information quickly! I’ll use channel 4or5’s weather apps
  40. [R30] 9 StormTrack 2/5 · US Why only two stars?: On this app, the radar is not consistent. Actually it was wonderful for the first few weeks, but now the areas of rain flash on my screen, and it is really hard to see. Somewhat worthless. I looked for an update, but there was none.
  41. [R44] 9 StormTrack 1/5 · US Use to be great...: Use to be my favorite weather app but the last few months it has gone downhill...takes a few tries to open it to start with. Sometimes it reverts to Jan 1st rainy and 100°...yeah ok...and the map hardly ever loads...hate the new map! A lot of the time it doesn’t even show the current weather just hourly???? Quit trying to fix something that wasn’t broke in the first place!
