1. [R13] 4/5 · US ☀️: Love this app. I use it on the daily. A great addition to this app would be to show what the UV index is. Just a suggestion. Thanks!

4. [R163] 5/5 · US Love it: I love it because it shows what the weather is locally.
5. [R55] 4/5 · US Long time user: Great app includes radar, forecast its all you need
6. [R161] 5/5 · US Love this app so much, I specifically cam here: I downloaded this app. Used it a handful of times. Immensely impressed! A message popped this last time to review it. I hit close by accident. So I specifically came back to the App Store to give it a 5 star rating! So thorough, easy to use and the best part, is the straight forward language used. They don’t use the technical language meteorologist
7. [R164] 5/5 · US Who needs more: Great detail without being clumsy.
8. [R165] 5/5 · US best weather site: 4 warn weather is the best weather site. Info , maps and forecasts complete and easy to access.
9. [R171] 5/5 · US Wear their alerts: Your localized weather alerts are great!! Today I was alerted of a severe weather alert in my area as well as surrounding areas. I like to be able to click on the radar and see what is going on with rain and storms in my area etc.
10. [R179] 5/5 · US Steamboat: Update: 3/27/2023 4Warn Weather. The WDIV ch 4 is the best weather app available. It is far better than ch 10 weather app out of Lansing Mi and better than the Weather Ch app. You can set 4Casters (WDIV ) to follow you wherever you are ( Current Location). We have used it from Maine to California, from Michigan to Florida. Besides the radar settings, you can check the storm tracks, al
11. [R193] 5/5 · US George Moy: I’m glad for the 4WARN weather app it keeps me informed on how good or bad the weather gets ,its more convenient because we all don’t have time to watch tv so when you’re on the go make sure 4WARN is with you too. Rain brid
12. [R197] 5/5 · US Like your app: I can see the weather in my area wherever I am. I really like the Click on Detroit app
13. [R1] 2/5 · US Awful Radar: Has to be the worst radar app out there. Weather data doesn’t even match what’s going on outside… this app has been unusable for a while now. Will be deleting.
14. [R15] 3/5 · US Radar no longer beneficial: This last update changed the radar from previous 2-3 hours, current and up to two hours in the future. Now it only share very little within last two hours and current radar. It does not give any future radar. Needless to say this is very very frustrating and doesn’t help plan my day or at least the next few hours at all can you change it back or somehow enhance what wa
15. [R19] 3/5 · US Radar not working: I am wondering what update you did to your radar to make it so that it only shows what WAS happening and what is happening right now. It used to go an hour or two into the future to show the predicted path of storms and now it’s like nope, you can only see where it’s been and where it is right now. That’s it. How does that possibly help me at all?
16. [R12] 2/5 · US Radar view is frustrating: With the new update, the radar will not show any future predictions and really will not move on its own unless hitting the play button. I’m not sure why 4warn thought this was an improvement. Maybe just a cost save for their app. Currently looking for other radar apps to replace this.
17. [R4] 1/5 · US Unusable: Like everyone else says, it used to work. Today i click on it and i get a rapid succession of weird ads. Every time i swipe one away another pops up in about 1 second. And the ads weird stuff like feet pics too. Used to be am excellent tool. Now it’s rendered unusable by ads.
18. [R5] 1/5 · US Atrociously aggravating app: Possibly one of the worst app I have ever used. Used to be much simpler and much better app then about a year or so ago they decided to “upgrade” it and the app has completely gone down the toilet ever since. If you ever want to watch a forecast video you have to suffer through at least 2 minutes of full ads that are unskippable and then in the middle of the video if y
19. [R23] 1/5 · US Terrible: I used to love this app. I just deleted it from my phone because every time I click on a notification, I start reading the weather warning and then ads keep popping up preventing me from reading it. It didn’t used to be like this. I am now using a different weather app that doesn’t annoy me with pop up ads
20. [R24] 1/5 · US Loaded up with ads: Delete it.
21. [R2] 1/5 · US From good to terrible: Amazes me that it’s had constant 1 star reviews since the change and it’s still rated good in the App Store. Another app developer that doesn’t listen to the users… how many people have to delete before bringing the old version back? Well, this used to be a good app. The best around. Very easy to use. The new version is beyond terrible. I deleted it a few days after the up
22. [R7] 1/5 · US Go back: Why 4 WARN?…do we need a warning for warm, beautiful weather? Please return to last version. Too busy, too much to navigate, bad radar track. Hourly and Daily aren’t easy to see. Make the graphics easier to read at a glance.Loved the old version. Now we use the other apps and miss your last design.
23. [R8] 1/5 · US Bad change: The old version was so much easier to read and use. Radar doesn’t show the future path and have to push play every time. The daily and hourly aren’t quick to pull up or easy to read graphics. Too many things on one page, not simple.
24. [R25] 1/5 · US Used to be great, now garbage: Before the current update, this used to be the perfect weather app. Now the UI is unbelievably bad. The app is worse in every way. It is basically unusable now and I may just delete it. What a shame. Whatever clueless corporate bozo approved this needs to have the taste slapped out of their mouth.
25. [R32] 1/5 · US Terrible Update: Still no improvement after the recent reformatting. No landscape mode for iPad users. Planning to delete and install a different weather app. Read the reviews, people!! No one likes this new format.
26. [R48] 3/5 · US I loved this app until: I used to love this app until the latest version. The radar map was changed and I don’t like it as well. Worst of all, it’s not configured for IPad users in the horizontal view. Now I use the Apple or Clime apps. But I still miss the old WDIV 4WarnWeather app.
27. [R142] 3/5 · US update ruined it: The app no longer will present the information on my ipad unless I set it up vertically, which is NOT how the keyboard is designed. Used to be my favorite weather app; I’ll pay for premium versions from weather underground instead. Really disappointing.
28. [R136] 5/5 · US Updated app, June 18, 2024: I am very disappointed that the app doesn’t rotate to horizontal viewing for the iPad.
29. [R3] 2/5 · US Radar settings not working: When I try to change the radar settings, the app shuts down.
30. [R18] 1/5 · US What happened?: The newest update to this app is awful. It takes forever to load on my phone. I much preferred the radar that showed past to future. The new radar is super slow and only shows up to present. That is when I can get the app open, half the time it crashes on me. I’m going to have to find another weather app that’s more reliable.
31. [R22] 1/5 · US App problems: I live in Sanilac County seven miles north of the St. Clair County line. Every time I want to view this app I have to delete it and reload it. Really like the app but this is a hassle. Is it a distance thing? The old format I had no problem with. Continues to be problem to access. Apparently Channel Four doesn’t really care whether St. Clair and Sanilac County can access.
32. [R266] 3/5 · CA Was really good: Really like channel 4 but this app and the new update doesn’t work well. It takes forever to load and I get error messages all the time. Also the App doesn’t work in landscape mode which is how I usually use my ipad which the App is loaded on. The app now also has a ton more spots for advertising which is always useful when the rest of app and radar won’t load so I guess I have so
33. [R10] 1/5 · US Not a good service: Not a good weather alert service nor trustworthy but neither are a lot of other free weather alert services I had on my devices to protect me when I am out in the community. This app I get the false alarms and the alerts lying to me saying lightning was decked in your area. Look outside and it’s bright and sunny outside and no thundering or lightning at all. It’s done this
34. [R37] 1/5 · US Lightening strikes: Since the last updateALL lightening strikes I’m notified of are all exactly 15 miles away and the app is worse now than before the update. Please fix it
35. [R45] 1/5 · US Totally ruined with the new format: The old format was so much easier to use. With the new format I cannot see watches and warning boxes, I keep getting notifications the the rain will be in my area in 30 minutes or lightning was detected 15 minutes from my location. When I check the radar there is nothing remotely close to rain or lightning. I thought because I had multiple locations it was choos
36. [R159] 4/5 · US mystery lightning: Overall I think this app is decent but it has a weird habit of telling me that lightning is x miles away from my location on days when the weather is completely clear throughout the entire region. I am currently staring at a blue, cloudless sky while getting a notification that lightning was detected 0.2 miles away from me. Not sure if this is a bug or some type of meteorologica
37. [R21] 1/5 · US Useless: Just downloaded the app.. and will be deleting immediately . There is no written forecast.. no mention of the amount of possible snow.. just says “100 % chance of snow”. No need to have this taking up space on the phone.
38. [R28] 1/5 · US No written forecast: Really disliking the update and only way of knowing what is going on weather wise is watching a video. No written forecast. You had a great app that was made useless. I don’t get it
39. [R34] 1/5 · US Bring back the old format: The summer update to this app has made it unusable. I used to open it multiple times a day and now I avoid using it completely. The old format of it as absolutely perfect and what people want in a weather app. Please consider bringing it back, especially including the written forecast.
40. [R6] 3/5 · US 1.64GB of Space?: There is absolutely no reason why this App needs to use up almost 2GB of storage.
41. [R119] 4/5 · US Where is the widget?: I like the new update, but now my widget has disappeared! Will you be providing one soon?
42. [R158] 3/5 · US Lightning: I’m not sure if anyone has complained about this but your app isn’t showing lightning and it’s really important to our family because we have dogs. Can you please look into this because it’s my app and my husband’s app. We both looked for an update and there isn’t one. Please get this fixed. Thank you, Sandy and Paul Dog lovers
43. [R204] 3/5 · US Weather app: Missing the weather forecast for wind speed and direction for the extended forecast!
44. [R9] 1/5 · US Update since June, still useless: Update from June ruined this app. It used to be great. It’s now only a little better than a paperweight. Radar is terrible. Shows completely different forecasts than reputable competitors such as MyRadar and weather channel. Gives alerts for areas that are an hour away.
45. [R162] 3/5 · US Not enough updates: In the past we used to get updates every 3 to 4 hours. Now it can be 8-9 hours before this website is updated with a forecast.
46. [R167] 3/5 · US Great app bad forecasting!: The app is great! The radar is the best of all the weather apps I have seen! There is a lot you can learn in this app. The reason for the 3 stars is that the forecasting is the worst of all the weather apps I have. They are wrong more than they are right. Also they don’t update it during the day. As an example today was forecasted to be a sunny day. You look at the hour
47. [R178] 3/5 · US Good app but….: Lately it seems the written forecast doesn’t give much of a forecast when severe weather is coming. That forecast is what sets this app apart from the others, it’s the reason I’ve had the app for so long.
48. [R11] 2/5 · US Latest update causes problems on IPad: For some reason the radar doesn’t show future only what has passed so it is useless. I can’t add locations as only half the keyboard shows. I can’t delete locations as that capability is no longer available. I’ve deleted app and reloaded but that didn’t help at all. Quite a disappointment!
49. [R46] 1/5 · US What a disaster the new app is: Had used the app for years and enjoyed the ease of navigation and the graphics. That has all been eliminated with the release of the 6.9 app update. First off, the Home Screen will only operate in portrait mode but radar will display in either portrait or landscape. Navigation is not intuitive as the previous versions were. The graphics appear to come from a high sc
50. [R20] 2/5 · US Some problems: I have used this app for many years. I live most of the improvements over time but have grown frustrated over the past couple weeks. I use the multiple locations feature often but have not been able to switch between locations. Still no change after a recent update. So I will need to move on to a different app
51. [R14] 1/5 · US Radar: I agree with all these others! What happened to the future radar!!!???
