  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. [R2] 9 StormTrack 5/5 · US Hundred percent accurate for the wrong area: Works great in West Texas better than the local news apps I thought this was our channel 9, but it’s better
  3. [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
  4. [R7] 9 StormTrack 1/5 · US Kansas City: How do I get my local weather here? I don’t live in Wisconsin!
  5. [R14] 9 StormTrack 5/5 · US Easy to see: I like that the radar imaging has bold colors that are easy to see
  6. [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.
  7. [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.
  8. [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.
  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. [R13] 9 StormTrack 1/5 · US Too small: Screams too small
  12. [R23] 9 StormTrack 5/5 · US Very helpful: Easy to use and really helpful- I appreciate being able to look at other locations as well
  13. [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
  14. [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.
  15. [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.
  16. [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
  17. [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
  18. [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!
