  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. [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.
  3. [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
  4. [R5] WSB-TV Weather 5/5 · US Trust: Reliable weather reports that are consistent and accurate
  5. [R3] WSB-TV Weather 3/5 · US Weather: It doesn't update properly
  6. [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.
  7. [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.
  8. [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.
  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. [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
  12. [R18] WSB-TV Weather 3/5 · US WSB Weather APP: Not as good as I thought it would be. The radar only shows it’s area and not the entire southeast, USA, or Gulf of Mexico.
  13. [R39] WSB-TV Weather 3/5 · US No pollen count.: Great except no pollen count
  14. [R44] WSB-TV Weather 5/5 · US This App helps me to plan: I love the warnings about severe weather in the area. It helps me to be prepared. It gives me time to warn my family as well.
  15. [R14] WSB-TV Weather 5/5 · US Best Fortcasters in Georgia: I I trust your forecasts over any other… when it comes to me my family and all the beautiful souls of our Great State. Thank you for being the reliable and friended souls that you are …. Pamela Kay Long
  16. [R23] WSB-TV Weather 5/5 · US Amazing app: Weather predictions were always on point, would rather use this than the real weather app!
  17. [R19] WSB-TV Weather 2/5 · US Awful: Too many adds!!!!
  18. [R22] WSB-TV Weather 1/5 · US To many ads: Y’all have totally ruined this app with all the ads.
  19. [R16] WSB-TV Weather 1/5 · US Radar map: I don’t like the radar map changes.
