  1. [R1] WDIV 4Warn Weather 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.
  2. [R6] WDIV 4Warn Weather 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
  3. [R7] WDIV 4Warn Weather 2/5 · US Radar settings not working: When I try to change the radar settings, the app shuts down.
  4. [R9] WDIV 4Warn Weather 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?
  5. [R4] WDIV 4Warn Weather 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
  6. [R16] WDIV 4Warn Weather 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.
  7. [R17] WDIV 4Warn Weather 5/5 · US WDIV‘s new weather app: This weather app is so very confusing June 20 at 2:30. We’re having heavy rain and you can’t even see it on radar cause when you click on it it just goes to like the heat so and I’ve talked to quite a few people and they really miss the old version that you had, which was great that we all used this new one very bad that’s all I can say very very bad.
  8. [R18] WDIV 4Warn Weather 3/5 · US The update is …ok: It still has good information but is not very user-friendly. Too complicated for its own good.
  9. [R3] WDIV 4Warn Weather 3/5 · US 1.64GB of Space?: There is absolutely no reason why this App needs to use up almost 2GB of storage.
  10. [R22] WDIV 4Warn Weather 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.
  11. [R10] WDIV 4Warn Weather 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.
  12. [R13] WDIV 4Warn Weather 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
  13. [R34] WDIV 4Warn Weather 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
  14. [R35] WDIV 4Warn Weather 1/5 · US Loaded up with ads: Delete it.
  15. [R37] WDIV 4Warn Weather 1/5 · US Updated terms of service are sketchy: Deleted the app after I looked at the updated terms of service. Specifically the privacy policy which states that even though the user has to agree to the terms of service, including the privacy policy, they don’t have to agree to keep your data and information private. This app isn’t that useful to me that I am willing to let you use my data however you want.
  16. [R66] WSB-TV Weather 3/5 · US Notifications are terrible: I love the setup of the app, but it’s useless in terms of its notifications. I consistently get warned of precipitation, thunder, or other occurrences about 20-30 minutes after it’s occurred. This could be a life or death situation if someone was depending on this for tornado warnings. Please with on this.
  17. [R91] WSB-TV Weather 1/5 · US Warning issues: Have it set to alert for tornado warnings and the last 3 times there’s been active tornado warnings in my area my app hasn’t gone off. Luckily I had my tv on, or I wouldn’t have known. One was close enough that I could hear the train sound from the wind, no thunder just rain and a tornado. No warning on my phone. Please fix these issues.
  18. [R45] WDIV 4Warn Weather 2/5 · US Pop up ads before I can view the radar?: I can't believe I am forced to watch popup ads before I'm able to see how close a storm is. I'm deleting the app today.
  19. [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.
  20. [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.
  21. [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
  22. [R65] WSB-TV Weather 5/5 · US Trust: Reliable weather reports that are consistent and accurate
  23. [R15] WDIV 4Warn Weather 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.
  24. [R21] WDIV 4Warn Weather 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.
  25. [R23] WDIV 4Warn Weather 5/5 · US Updated app, June 18, 2024: I am very disappointed that the app doesn’t rotate to horizontal viewing for the iPad.
  26. [R25] WDIV 4Warn Weather 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!
