Ratings and Reviews
Not Accurate
4I give this app 4⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ stars, because the weather temperature and rain alerts are NOT accurate, at least where I live. First, I've had this app for years and it ask me to give a review and when I tried, it said I have to purchase it first. So I had to delete it and all my settings I had just to write this review. Second, the temperature isn't accurate! No matter what thermometer I use, and I've used 3 different digital thermometers and 2 mercury thermometers and there are supposed to be 2 weather stations close to my home and both readings are always the same, even though the locations are supposed to be different. The temperatures I get close to my home (from The Weather Channel) are constantly, approximately 2-4 and today 6 degrees higher than than all the readings I personally get from right outside of my home(in the shade). During really cloudy weather, I constantly get rain warnings and at least 90% of the time there is no rain, showers or even drizzles. when this app says there's a 20% chance of rain, there is NO rain. A lot of the time when the forecast says 50-60% chance of rain, there is NO rain and sometimes there are blue sky's overhead. I don't even know why I look at the forecasts from this app. The Weather Channel, wants you to pay $3.99 EVERY year for no ads. It should be a one-time purchase for no ads! I might think about paying for no ads if this app was somewhat accurate. I live in Southern California.
New Update is Terrible.
I have used TWC app for years with no problems. Now, even before the new update, I noticed I would get rain warnings, and about 90% of the time there would be NO rain. I tried changing my location data, but it didn’t help. After the new update, the inaccuracies became much worse. It seems to not have my location correct, or looks at a large area of my town vs my exact location.
There are many things I don’t like about the new update, especially the radar. It used to scan nice and slow so I could see details, which would help with some of the inaccuracies described above. Now the cursor speeds across the screen so you can’t see details and I can’t seem to see any way to slow it down. Useless to me for what I’d prefer to see.
There is also less information regarding hurricane season and potential developing areas. I live on the west coast of Florida, and compared to the previous version, I get little to no information from this app. Since Hurricane Ian, when trees fell on my house, damaged my roof, totaled my car, and left me without electricity for 12 days, I look for as many updates as I can get.
I have lived here all my life, and I am now 68 years old, a widow who lives alone (with my Golden Retriever). There are many Floridians like me who depend on TWC for peace of mind, especially with the climate changes. I still love your coverage on the TV channel, but this app has become very disappointing and I will be looking for something else.
What a joke
Seriously download the free version and try it out. It’s possibly the worst app I’ve ever downloaded. Too many add, also seems like they overloaded it, or tried to make it do more so that not it’s virtually none usable. Seriously how hard is it the have current, hourly, daily all in an easy to read. Don’t even get me started on the ads. The app has so much nonsense that you do more work trying to find what it is the apps is suppose to be for. You are out of your mind if you think you’ve convinced me to pay to download the premium. The way that works is show how good the app is, so much so it makes me think “if it’s this good I can’t imagine how much better the premium is”. I guess your idea is let’s drive them crazy with the free version, and they will want to pay for the premium. Premium may be what I’m looking for, but I’ll never know because you’ve put out such a terrible product I don’t feel the need to get suckered into giving you money. It’s like a car manufacturer trying to get you to buy the top of the line model by letting you try out the base model after it’s been used as a rental car for years, and behind on getting serviced. Seriously wonder how you are allowed to keep your jobs. Oh yeah that right, your model is buy up all the other good apps like dark sky to eliminate the competitor instead of trying to create a better app. You could cut so much out of the app and get back to basics and have way more people downloading, but you won’t.
