Great App
Use 5 different weather apps and this app (WATE) is the most accurate. Plan to delete the others.
Stop with the ad pushing
App did work great but now it’s just constantly ads and the app doesn’t work at all, don’t turn into the weather channel please!
I love this app when it’s working.
This app is great when it works, but fairly often it goes down and you can’t get any information from it.
Opinion
I liked the previous layout better. I’ll get use to it over time I suppose.
Unimpressed
Was decent until malicious ads began. Please advise elders not good with tech to not utilize this app or at least be mindful to not click on the ads displayed. Emailed the webadmin regarding the ads but never heard back. Forecast wise? You’re better off with Witcher’s app. At least his is consistent. WATE used to be known for its reliability across the board but in the last several years, I feel the credibility in all aspects has tanked.
Can’t WATE!
Love this weather app and the meteorologists. Can’t WATE to open the app in the morning!
App is doo doo
Very unresponsive and doo doo
Not bad
It’s a pretty good local weather app. So far it seems fairly accurate. Will update my review once I’ve had it for a while. I do like how you can name and pin point a location.
Weather popping in and out.
What’s up with the weather popping in a and out? Like it’s flickering. Didn’t not do this before and just started a day or so ago. Very annoying. Fix to get 5 start rating other than that it’s a 2 star at best.
New weather app
I really really miss the old app 😞this one is “ OK” but wish things would stay the same for awhile but thank you and I do love you guys !!
Great App just one issue
Need to fix the radar issue. Only goes over so far and stops and won’t let you continue to see storm track through out the night. Says from 7pm to 7am, but stops mid way on time line.
App used to be great...
App used to be great but some recent updates make the radar not work correctly. Yesterday the radar showed a large storm over our area. Outside the sun was out and not a cloud in the sky. Also, the future-cast pauses at a certain point and won't go any further. Hope this gets fixed with future updates. Ready to delete if no further changes. Multiple users in the same household see the same issues.
Favorite weather app
The map/radar page has so many options. Very easy to use
Turn off loud ads!!
I support WATE and their team but the new addition of loud ads are awful!
Used to be my Go To weather app
Within the last several months the app has been way below acceptable standards. After looking at other apps to compare, the WATE app was significantly behind, time-wise, on the radar. For example, this afternoon it said the radar had a heavy storm over us but it had truly been gone for at least 45-60 minutes though it said CURRENT. Please fix this issue because I go to you as my number weather team but do not delete the app because it isn’t safe.
Best so far
Better than the seems like hundred I have tried and deleted. Almost everything is right on the home page and buttons are conveniently located for details
Dangerously inaccurate
This is the most absurdly inaccurate weather app I have ever had the displeasure of using. I have tremendous respect for the difficulty associated with meteorology, but there is no excuse for this important local resource’s inability to do the bare minimum. Numerous times my area has been hit by extremely strong winds for which there was absolutely no warning. Having grown up in hurricane country I am no lightweight when it comes to strong winds, but the number of times we have been hit by 20+ mph winds with 40-50 mph gusts with a forecast of “light showers” is nonsensical. The most important function of a weather app is to warn citizens of dangerous incoming weather and this app fails nearly every time, risking lives. Do better.
Meh
I uninstalled this today. I don’t trust it and find that it’s horribly inaccurate. I don’t watch WATE anymore either because of all their political attack ads. Trying WBIR for now, and I honestly think the weather app that comes with iPhone is more realizable than WATE.
Noisy ads
Stick to your weather. It was supposed to be 15% of rain\ thunderstorms in Jeff city now it’s 80 something stick to your first guess.
Talent
You must pay the least of all three channels because your channel has the least attractive women on local news and weather.
Discontinuation
I have deleted all your apps after biased coverage by both local and national ABC coverage.
Worse and worse
Used to be go to weather app. Last few months, parts just stopped working across different platforms. I switched. Don’t know what they did but no way to notify them through app
Noisy popups
I’ve been using this app for years and suddenly there are ads with live sound popping up out of nowhere. I understand the need for ads but these are intrusive and annoying. Handy app but I’ll be deleting it soon if these continue
So much better
So much better than the others that I have used. The ability to see what is ahead for 24 hours is great. Easy to use and very clear graphics.
Liked the old version better.
The old version was easier to navigate.
Frozen
Enjoy the app, but won’t open at all now. Been like this for several days.
Bug fixes
More than they were. Cannot look at news items
Weather App
Very reliable!
New Weather App Layout
Opened the weather app this morning as I do everyday to check conditions. The new one page scroll down thru everything is like looking at The Weather Channel app which I find way too busy and distracting. Simple is always better. You used to be able to choose what you wanted to see full page before. Now you can’t see the high for the day on the top section of a scrolling multi section combination of sections. Now I need to find another simple clean weather app. I used WATE weather app for years. From looking at local conditions to NJ/NY conditions. Very easy and quickly before to choose your location. I always had a few locations saved to check out conditions at my kids homes around the country. Now I will search for a simple clean app. Thanks for the memories.
Great weather app!
This is the best weather app ever! I previously had it from WBIR but it quit working and would not update. I’m so thankful I found this one. It is so simple and easy to use for simple radar, hourly, and 7 day forecasts. Thank you!
Not available in your current location...
Been using this as my go-to weather app for years but suddenly it just pops up a message saying “This application is not available in your current location.” Can’t do anything but force close it. Thing is, I’m in the viewing area and haven’t changed locations at all. Guess it’s time to delete and move to something else. It’s a shame because I’ve always found the WATE forecast to be the most accurate for my rural location. 😞
App layout
🤘 Much better.
Used to work
Just keeps telling me gps location failed or something to that effect.
Obnoxious and loud ads
This was my favorite weather app until it started featuring at least two obnoxious pop up ads with sound: a Robocall killer ad more annoying than a Robocall and a NOAA ad with sound that startles everyone around worse than a thunderstorm. I don’t want or need sudden sound on a pop up ad. STOP THIS PRACTICE! Please.
Ads are annoying!
The ads in here are annoying!
