1. [R2] StormTrack 5 4/5 · US Stormy Weather: The radar maps are detailed and are helpful, especially when they’re tracking nearby storms.
2. [R9] StormTrack 5 3/5 · US Cleveland Ohio: I recommend this app to anyone I meet. I’ve lived all over the U.S. and this app has been to most accurate out of any other app I’ve used. However, whoever is in charge of the Cleveland Ohio area needs to be replaced. Any times there’s snow I only get “less than 1 inch” or “__% chance of snow”. Well, the “less and 1 inch” we were supposed to get yesterday turned out to actually be
3. [R66] The Weather Channel 3/5 · US Good weather app bad ads: The accuracy is far better than any of those other ones (ahem, talking to you apple and accuweather) and the radar is easy to comprehend. But the ads are a bit much, and they scroll into the way often
4. [R72] The Weather Channel 3/5 · US Love!-ish..: Overall good and organized but not very accurate
5. [R37] StormTrack 5 5/5 · US Best I have ever used!: Super easy to navigate. Best and most accurate weather app I’ve tried.
6. [R51] StormTrack 5 5/5 · US Storm Track 5: This is the best weather app I’ve ever used. I’ve been using it for a multiple number of years and it is the best I’ve ever used. Keep up the great work. I’m 80 years old and this is the most reliable weather App I’ve ever used. Keep up the great work!! Jim Adams
7. [R63] The Weather Channel 3/5 · US Non stop ads: Constant ads pop up when you click on anything. Want to switch from current to hourly? Ad. Hourly to daily? Another ad. Trying to check the radar during severe weather? Too bad you need to watch an ad first.
8. [R70] The Weather Channel 1/5 · US Battery burner: Tons of ads and burns massive amounts of battery
9. [R14] StormTrack 5 5/5 · US Awesome: This is my only weather app I have and I have it on 3 devices the storm alerts are top notch and to think I can get regular heads up on tomorrow’s weather today the storm tracking system is exceptional along with the accuracy I would recommend this app to anyone who wants to know about the current and future weather conditions. Thank you to the developers for making a weather app that doe
10. [R31] StormTrack 5 5/5 · US Amazing: I have just recently joined StormTrack 5. I am amazed at its accuracy and it’s ability to tell me what’s going to happen in the next 15 minutes. And I love the fact that they post the wind speed and directions hourly
11. [R76] The Weather Channel 1/5 · US Garbage: I’ve been a weather channel app user for 10 years. My job relies very heavily on weather. For years it was THE most trustable source, but in the past year not only has it started being inaccurate, but it’s also riddled with pop up ads, paywalls, and AI.
12. [R100] The Weather Channel 1/5 · US Keeps getting worse: I didn’t think this app could get any worse, with its frequent crashing, excessive ads, and notification issues. I was wrong. They have now incorporated AI to write these cutesy forecasts that make absolutely no sense. I can’t imagine anyone is enjoying this new feature. Please just stick to the basics.
13. [R11] StormTrack 5 5/5 · US sub to my youtube: best local weather app and it’s free!
14. [R61] The Weather Channel 2/5 · US Overstuffed with Ads: There are so many ads being thrown at me constantly. It has made the app unusable
15. [R67] The Weather Channel 1/5 · US Ads 👎: The ads have made the app nearly unbearable. Why do i have to watch an ad when checking to see if a tornado is near my house? It’s a nice back up app if you want to plan your week but if you want/need weather info in a timely matter, find another app.
16. [R1] StormTrack 5 1/5 · US Alarmist much: There is no app support it takes you to somewhere where it wants you to Sign up. There’s no one to talk to no one to report to. I’m tired of these notifications where it says heavy thunderstorm or whatever is headed your way. And then you actually go to the app and there is no such thing happening. I don’t need you telling me lies quit sending alarmist notifications when they aren
17. [R94] The Weather Channel 1/5 · US Used to be my go-to: For years this was the only weather app I used. You could see all aspects of current conditions and could add other locations to a list - without needing to create an account. But that has changed. I refuse to create yet another account with another username and password to keep track of. There was no reason for requiring an account to be able to do the same things you used to
18. [R115] The Weather Channel 1/5 · US TWC high-res 6 hour radar no longer works on older Apple-supported iOS versions.: TWC support says get a new device or try deinstalling the app.
