This app is great! It does more than weather. It tells you if it's good running weather, how the pollen in your area is, tides, etc. Great tid-bit stories. You can set it up to warn you of situations in other areas, like snow storms where your family lives. I LOVE this app and Weather Channel keeps improving it!

Jack Wolfinger

The most accurate weather information of so many available. Having the app provides immediately available conditions at a swipe, as in-depth or brief depending on the situation. I choose. Always at the ready, emergency warnings alert me when I would otherwise be unaware. I install this app on all my mobile devices. Videos, radar, I believe there is even a social option for those who like to contribute there developing observations.

Ian Kurashige

One of the better sources for weather information. But the app is slow, weighed down heavily by ads. The worst part is that updates are very unreliable, and the widget doesn't keep itself accurate. This forces you to open the app, which defeats the purpose of having a widget. Screen real estate is valuable these days and it's annoying that this spends space displaying an inaccurate time.

Galynn Donovan

This app has been working until this morning. Now, I get no information as the screen just goes black. I even signed up (which I didn't have to previously) and I still just get the home page with no information then the screen goes black with white lines in the upper left corner. I've uninstalled it and reinstalled it three times now and still can't get weather information like I used to.

Jeff Lee

Great weather app but the promised addition of an ad free option is still not available on Android. Repeated emails asking about this go unanswered. The ads have become annoying and bog down the app. This is by far the most accurate weather app I have used but you are not supporting your Android users by not adding this feature that already exists for the iPhone/IPad app. If the ads had not increased, I would have rated higher.

Shoo Peaches

It's a great app! Tells me straight away what is the weather for today. Has a radar where you can see exactly when the precipitation is coming. The only thing is that the important videos I want to look at aren't working. So, like, can please fix that. Thanks!

The most recent update REMOVED some locations previously supported. I don't know if this was just an update glitch on their end, but I hope it is. The layout of the information makes the app easy to navigate. The asthetics are also great, and make the app very eye catchy.

Danielle McDearman December 1, 2017

Love the app overall but I have installed on android phone and after update before last, only displays videos from the UK, including animated UK weather forecast. I am in us and can't seem to find a fix. Really don't need to know UK weather when I am in the USA! There seems to be an app specific to us but can't seem to locate in Google play.

Johan Samuelsson November 25, 2017

The one weather forecast app you'll ever need. Wish I found it sooner. Cheers to the meteorologists feeding the information, keep up the good work. App offers what others don't: accuracy. Absolutely perfect. I I use it mainly in Berlin btw.

Gregg Duckworth December 3, 2017

To many dam commercials before every video. Don't have to put one in front of everyone that plays next. Other then that it's good. Just don't waist your time trying to watch the news and weather clips because theirs a stupid ass commercial every 45 secs and normally the same one plays every time.

Vanessa Wilson December 3, 2017

It beat out several other weather apps on several things, but accuracy was what really stood out to me, and I've been waiting for approx three years of use to write this review to make sure of it before I rated it! I live in an area that has severe storms in the Spring and Summer that could produce tornadoes, so having accurate up-to-date radar weather information could be lifesaving! Now, I can even get text alert to warn me of incoming storms!Great app!

Sabrina Ellis December 4, 2017

I like this app alot! Out of all the apps I have tried this one has been the most accurate to my area than any other one. Most are usually 5 to 7 ° off. This one is 1 to 2 ° off in my area. It is very informative and very easy to navigate through. I suggest this app to anyone looking for a good weather app.

Leigh Ann Wells November 25, 2017

For up to date information on storms or hurricanes at ur finger tips, with hourly, daily, & weekly updates. There is storm trackers, and videos about what's going on around the world. I love this app. The only thing I do not like is all the stupid ads, if I wanted to see ads I'd watch live tv. I'm just saying....

Dillon Ruddle November 25, 2017

Your new update is amazing, you added the date below the actual name of the day so it's now for the 15 day outlook for example : Mon Tues Nov 27 Nov 28 And so on. I've been wishing for this for a while now since I check the weather so much and it messed with my ocd. Thanks again, Loyal Weather Channel Fan Next update : Add snow for 26836 ha ha. :)

Busy Bee November 24, 2017

Weather stats and updates are great... but the globalist news updates are irritating to me and about half of America. Focus on weather... if i would have wanted CNN, I would have downloaded their APP. Not everyone wants to lose our National Sovereignty.

November 26, 2017

Update 11/26: app updated 11/25 and has completely stopped working. It can no longer be opened. 8/2017: Severe alerts need to be more localized. I turn them on for where I am and then get alerts for weather that is an hour away. Flooding an hour north of me doesn't need to be sent to my phone. Severe storms an hour west of me don't need to be sent to my phone. If my exact location is not in the immediately affected path then I don't need to know about it.

Kimberly Sirucek Goddard December 2, 2017

I have always really liked this app but I am no longer able to set it to the city I had it on and I get an error message. I took my phone to Verizon today to see if they could help but I was told it was a problem with the app.

Matt Felice November 27, 2017

The app has excellent accuracy and is easy to use. The layout is nice, and there is plenty of information given to you including pollen forecasts and a live RADAR map. It is the best weather app I have used. The only issue is that it can lag on start-ups umetimes, but it's mostly smooth.

James Holz December 2, 2017

Best weather app out there!! Easy to navigate. Excellent radar for checking on storms. Gives severe weather alerts by city on your phone. Very intuitive design. Can change cities very easily to check the weather on the grandkids. Love the extra info videos they show.

Julie no November 24, 2017

This app used to be to be awesome, Not Now. with everybody else who states the obvious; too many ads too commercial. Hopefully you will read your reviews Weather Channel and change it up you're losing your audience.

aaron blaylock December 1, 2017

I shovel snow during the winter so of course the snow alerts aren't good. But they are fairly accurate. I work in facilities management, so I have other things to do other than shovel snow, so it doesn't mean no snow no money, it just means I'm extra busy.

December 3, 2017

I really liked this app, especially the widget, however the developers recently decided that we need a redundant notification bar that cannot be disabled. It's a shame that I may have to uninstall a great app just to get rid of an annoying notification bar.

Evandro Menezes November 24, 2017

As one would expect from The Weather Channel, the current weather and forecast are quite accurate, including the alerts. Adding and using other locations is pretty easy. The radar also looks nice and clean and has a smooth animation. The temperature displayed in the top is too small though. It's easy on the battery, but uses a significant amount of data for those pesky ads.

Kay Brown November 29, 2017

Had to uninstall because it kept freezing up my phone when using the app. Could not exit the app and had to remove battery from my phone while it was still on in order for my phone to reboot. UPDATE 11-29-2017. Reinstalled several months ago and working OK until today. Just get a blurry screen and no data. Going to uninstall again. Very glitchy.

Gerrye Fielden November 28, 2017

What I like most is I can add multiple cities and get the information on them all! One problem, TOO MANY COMMERCIALS! I know one thing. I will nebrr buy Dove Durmacare! Verity is better. Please dont let one as ever dominate!

Patrick Harris November 30, 2017

One of the best I've tried. It's my primary weather app. I gave it four star's because I hate the ads before videos, too much for me to bear. Do I never watch them.

Cindy Dowty November 28, 2017

Hate the new changes. Now I can't use my tablet sideways, have to use it up/down for the weather channel. It was better before, you should have left it alone !!

Heather Walkerden December 2, 2017

Its a great app with hour by hour forecasts and pollen count etc and I would give 5 if i could get tide information and water quality. But what it does it does very well

Edward Lyons November 25, 2017

I like your wx app much better on my tablet than on my Android phone. The radar scan still seems to lag behind the actual weather outside.

November 30, 2017

Lots of glitches in this app. I can't pull up the local radar, it freezes my phone.

Steven Kessler November 26, 2017

Best thing I like, it is actually accurate. Telling me it could rain after it has already been raining for fifteen minutes like other apps. Only weather app I use.

Rosalie Vitale December 2, 2017

This app helps me figure out what to prepare for such as will it be raining in the morning so will I need to leave a little earlier. How cold will it be so what should I wear today....do I need my rain boots etc... It is very helpful when I don't have time catch the weather on the news because it's quick.

Lynda Meyer December 1, 2017

The accuracy is spot on. The widgets r cool. I like the fact that I can look daily, hourly and even 15 days ahead for plan'n trips, upcom'n school days to dress my kids appropriately, etc. And it never fails me. I give it 5-Stars :·)

Cindy L Walker November 29, 2017

Ever since I updated a couple days ago, your app stopped working on my phone. All I see is the blue background with the dandelions...nothing else. Sent report. If not fixed by tomorrow, I'm finding a better weather app. 4 stars down to 2.

Rachel Hollars December 3, 2017

For the most part okay. Sometimes has some problems with the app not responding and the radar map doesn't always seem to be the most accurate. But 9 times out of 10 it's a great app.

Wendy Dillon November 29, 2017

This app needs to go back to being able to slow down the radar! That was a feature I used quite very often! Especially here in the rain belt of NC! 😁

A Google User December 3, 2017

Not bad. Multi-city mgmt could use wk, as it does occasionally default me to the wrong city. Nice hourly forecasts and quick weather video downloads.

December 2, 2017

This is the best app ever. This app keeps me updated on any particular weather that I need too know about when I am not at home and I can't see The Weather Channel on TV. I greatly advise people to use this every day.

November 29, 2017

I never left home without watching the weather channel. My youngest daughter every morning doesn't want to get ready before checking weather forecast at the weather channel. So this weather forecast channel is part of our daily routine life.It's really very helpful and accurate. I am watching it from last around 10 years.It is not only giving me weather news weekly,daily,but hourly too that,s what I like the most about it.Besides the weather this channel gives me interesting and informative videos from around the world.Some times news from these videos was a breaking news for me because I am not a daily tv news watcher.So in short I love this channel and I can't live without watching it.Thanks for uplaoding this.Keep the good work.😍👍👍👍.
