1. [R1] WFTV Weather 2/5 · US Channel 9 weather: Local radar is always offline
2. [R4] WFTV Weather 1/5 · US radar: Lousy radar never seems to be accurate
3. [R19] WFTV Weather 2/5 · US Needs an update: Don’t know what’s going on with this app lately but it’s become super buggy. Radar won’t work 3/4 of the time. Can’t delete cities from your list, you click the 3 dots and the menu pops up for half a second and vanishes. Gonna have to find a new app if they don’t get this fixed soon.
4. [R62] WSB-TV Weather 5/5 · US Great app !: Love this storm team they are always dependable. The app never fails to give every notification.
5. [R27] WFTV Weather 3/5 · US Disappointed: Love channel 9 and the weather crew staff. But this app I don't like. Found it hard to navigate. The last straw for me was when I was checking it for the tropical depression Invest 99 heading our way. There was no update information. The video I watched was from Wednesday, today is Sunday. If I was looking in error, that would account for the navigation confusion of the app. I hav
6. [R30] WFTV Weather 3/5 · US Not fond of update: New update seems to work ok so far, but I am not liking the interface so much and seems cluttered now. Also what happened to the hourly forecast?!!! I used that as much as the radar and now it's gone. I will be using the weather channel app more than this due to them having hourly forecast and a more current radar. Yalls is 10 minutes behind real time.
7. [R46] WFTV Weather 2/5 · US Bad site: Hard to actually click on the local news and weather with this busy screen. Too many options on one page
8. [R112] WSB-TV Weather 5/5 · US My Go To Weather Source: This app is easy to navigate and is always accurate. I also like the weather alerts.
9. [R10] WFTV Weather 1/5 · US Cannot delete locations: Update has broken the ability to delete stored locations. Test your code!
10. [R48] WFTV Weather 1/5 · US Not good: Every time I click on an alert, the app opens and then immediately crashes. When I finally get it to work, there are so many ads and popups that it is worthless to use.
11. [R61] 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.
12. [R12] WFTV Weather 3/5 · US Good app but too many ads!: Please provide a paid option to remove ads. The ads are the worst part about that app and there are way too many!
13. [R15] WFTV Weather 3/5 · US TOO MANY: The overly abundant amount of ads is annoying
14. [R50] WFTV Weather 2/5 · US Disappointing unless you like ads not weather: I used to love this app and trusted what was provided. Now it’s nothing but advertisement galore. Weather at 23 hours old is not coverage you can count on. Very disappointing but it’s all about the money, not providing weather and news accurately anymore.
15. [R68] WSB-TV Weather 4/5 · US Too many ads: Ads block information
16. [R22] WFTV Weather 1/5 · US Issue with latest version: Since last update I can no longer remove cities from the list, the menu only pops up for a second
17. [R60] WFTV Weather 1/5 · US USED to be a good app: They took what used to be a great app and LOADED IT DOWN with SO MANY ADS that it takes forever to load and parts of it no longer function properly (especially the MOST IMPORTANT, the “EYE ON THE TROPICS” section) the TINY video map of the approaching hurricane forecast no longer loads (endless spinning disc) and it is too small to even SEE on your phone as it is crowded
18. [R64] 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
