Reliable
I have tried several different weather apps this year and this is the only one to consistently send me alerts that make noise. I get soundless banner alerts on others, and I probably messed up a setting, but I tried to make them all make noise. This one has a calm but assertive enough voice to wake me up and say exactly what is happening.
Glitch is a problem
I use the timeline but kicks me out it so stupid
Ads
I like the app, but I’m tired of getting a ad that says my phone has been hacked by visiting adult websites and wanting me to download a cleaning app.
Tired of the advertisements
Will be switching to the WAND weather app. Not as many or no advertisements.
Overtaken by ads
The app is good but it is being overtaken by full screen animated ads that make you wait up to a minute before continuing to use the app.

Ads?
I use the Weather app to actually look at the weather and not to be inundated with ads that I cannot exit from and that seemed to mess with how the app actually operates. Time to move on to a different app.
Good app, but...
This is a good weather app. However, recently it's been showing a full page ad from Starlink. Really obnoxious.
Can’t remove locations
Can no longer remove added locations. Tap on the location to get the menu to remove it and the fly out menu crashes.
Ad revenue over functionality
The app is a good source for local weather and I have found to be one of the more accurate. Unfortunately every time you open the app, regardless if it is from a fresh reboot or from it running in the background, you will be forced to see a “launch screen” which includes their “sponsored by ads” It’s a minor inconvenience that really adds up for your multiple times a day user.

Excellent weather source. You all ROCK!
Radar
Doesnt show much of an active area.
Usually won’t load
I used the older version, especially to track storms. The new version will not load on my iPhone. I am looking for anew weather app with radar. Not happy with this new app. I think it is too data hungry to load in rural areas.
More Detail Please
Would be awesome if it had some enhanced features about the moon, humidity increase info throughout the day. I do love the radar though.

Pales in comparison to how it was
Where’s the severe weather tab?
I just updated it thinking the severe weather tab would still be there but I can’t find it all there is that refers to severe weather is the live stream and weather now, This is a problem for people like me that worries about the severe weather chances and likes to keep a close eye on it daily during times when the broadcast is not on because unfortunately even the most accurate weather teams can’t know for sure when severe weather is going to happen unexpectedly and I don’t have a smart device that can be constantly connected to the internet so the weather alerts won’t do much for me. Once you add the severe weather tab back to the app I’ll give you a better review and star rating.
Kevin Lighty And His Team Are The Best
I have been using the WCIA 3 Weather app a lot more in the past month since my Weather Channel app won’t work for me anymore. I found that the WCIA Weather app is just as good, if not better. Congratulations to Kevin Lighty and his weather team for the best and most accurate forecasts around!!
Worst App Ever
This is one of the the worst apps I have ever used. It is very glitchy, when you click on 7 Day forecast it goes all cockeyed, and still doesn't give the 7 Day until you have tried several times. Also, lately they stick a loud verbal forecast in the background, so you don't want to check it in a quiet environment without the whole area also hearing whether they want to hear WCIA weather staff or not. I would give this app a zero if they had it. There are too many good weather apps out there to waste your time on this one. WCIA - you need better app developers! The who designed this one is useless....... Like the app. UNINSTALLED!!
Okay App
Not a fan of the function of the maps. Have to use two fingers to move the map to where you want and just as you get s map where you want and zoomed in, it crashes and goes back to the default view.
Weather review
I love the weather app and use it all the time!
Worthless
Removed from iPhone following last update. Cannot track storms or change location. Pages freeze.

Y’all are the best. Rely on your forecasts DAILY- Why? Easy-.... I trust & rely on you being the best. - So I can be my best.
Just ruined with update
This app used to be a good one. Not any more. It was good for the local radar and now you can't even find it on the app. This update rendered it useless to me. Sorry WCIA you messed up big time.
Rating the Weather app!!
Love that I can get n receive the incoming weather. Thank you for helping us, as we need to and be “IN THE KNOW!”
Used to Be Helpful
I have relied heavily on this app in the past and would have given it 4 stars. But now, with storms approaching, the link to severe weather watchboxes will only give me an ad for something that does not interest me. I can't X out of it, nor can I get past the ad. Now I can't get past the ad for ANY of the ihp links. So I just deleted the app. I'm back to hunting for a weather app that I can actually use.
Enough already
I don’t need to know or be reminded of who is doing the weather report today.
