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.
Widget Won't Show Anything
This weather app, even if one doesn't upgrade to the 'Premium' edition, is the best weather app out there, except for one HUGE problem: The widget won't show anything at all on my homescreen except for a blank blue box with light blue lines inside of it. If they'd just fix this one CHRONIC issue (yes, I've had to deal with it from the beginning) then I'd raise my rating to 5 stars instead of 3. As it currently stands, I can only view the local weather if I actually click on the app and open it up, which is not only incredibly inconvenient and annoying but also drains my battery. I wish that they'd just make it so that I can always check the weather at a glance, but no matter what I do to try to resolve the issue myself, it still remains just a useless blue rectangle. I'm not sure if it's just my phone and/or my Internet company that's making it do this, but somehow I doubt either one of those things, because all of my other apps work perfectly fine with zero problems. Everything else about this app is a 10/10 though, aside from the one MAJORLY ANNOYING aforementioned issue that I just detailed. Weather Channel people, PLEASE FIX IT ASAP AND PERMANENTLY. Each time the app 'updates,' the problem remains. I'm considering deleting the app altogether, since what I downloaded it for never works and never has worked, and switching to a completely different weather app.
Bloated and Cluttered
My review of the previous version: Weather Channel finally killed their old app. I've been using it for years. It was elegant in appearance, loaded quickly, took up one third the HD space of the new one and gave you weather at a glance. However, if you want the whole kitchen sink (and the contents of all your cupboards too) on your screen, along with annoying video ads, then this new one is the app for you. It's Weather Bug on steroids. I deleted it after only a day. I gave it three stars, because if radar is all you want, it's pretty good.
My review of the latest version: Thank you Weather Channel. I used to be able to tap the weather map and enlarge it to full screen. Now it only goes half screen with information I was able to read, understand and absorb in under a minute filling the other half. Why can't I make the map go full screen like before? Rating - three stars. Not nearly a cluttered as before. Time will tell if it remains as bloated and buggy as it has been the last many years. Map on only half the screen - stupid and unnecessarily restrictive. Maybe in another ten years the app will be as good as it was ten years ago, before IBM bought The Weather Channel. Keep trying. Oh, one more thing. I really doubt people were asking you to restrict the map to half the screen.
