  1. [R2] WDIV 4Warn Weather 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!
  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. [R8] WDIV 4Warn Weather 4/5 · US Long time user: Great app includes radar, forecast its all you need
  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. [R38] WDIV 4Warn Weather 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
  6. [R64] ClickOnDetroit 1/5 · US Stories not updating: The app has been showing the same news stories for 3 days. Nothing new since the 15th.
  7. [R81] ClickOnDetroit 3/5 · US Good local information but…: You get good local information here however, it is one-sided and very liberal. You never get both sides of the story. When I read news, I like to hear facts, not opinions, and not an agenda of information that general media is trying to push.
  8. [R103] ClickOnDetroit 1/5 · US Doesn’t Allow Feedback: This app doesn’t allow its users to COMMENT on their news stories. It is a one-sided platform, to promote a far-left bias, without any discussion or alternative viewpoints allowed.
  9. [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
  10. [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.
  11. [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.
  12. [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.
  13. [R7] WDIV 4Warn Weather 2/5 · US Radar settings not working: When I try to change the radar settings, the app shuts down.
  14. [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.
  15. [R24] WDIV 4Warn Weather 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
  16. [R30] WDIV 4Warn Weather 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.
  17. [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.
  18. [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
  19. [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
  20. [R35] WDIV 4Warn Weather 1/5 · US Loaded up with ads: Delete it.
  21. [R54] WDIV 4Warn Weather 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
  22. [R61] ClickOnDetroit 1/5 · US Annoying notifications: “We're about to tell a local family they have 10 minutes to evacuate their house. Watch live right now to see how they handle it”. Terrible
  23. [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.
  24. [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.
  25. [R19] WDIV 4Warn Weather 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.
  26. [R26] WDIV 4Warn Weather 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.
  27. [R63] ClickOnDetroit 3/5 · US number of ads increasing: I’ve used this app for a long time and recently have noticed an increase in the number of ads. They’re disruptive and long and mostly for mobile phone games I would never play. I would actually pay a small amount of money for an adfree subscription or paid app to get rid of them.
  28. [R75] ClickOnDetroit 3/5 · US Rate the App: I like Click on Detroit except - like the TV broadcast - there are too many ads!!
  29. [R97] ClickOnDetroit 1/5 · US Annoying Ads: Ads are completely unacceptable. Pointless ads for games etc. I switched to Fox2 after being bombarded with ads from this terrible app
  30. [R99] ClickOnDetroit 1/5 · US App Forces Ads: App now forces advertisements when you have viewed about 3-4 news stories and media player is set to play under the default settings, which disrupts other apps if they’re playing. Poorly designed app which is really pushing the ad game to viewers who just want to read about local and national news.
  31. [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.
  32. [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.
  33. [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!
