Useless. Having ads in this app makes it useless. Surely WBTV doesn’t need to sell the ad space to cover the expense of main thing this app. I’ve always watched WBTV News but this “business decision” has got me to question their priorities. Very disappointed

The weather. It it helps me see what is happening

Comment. Update more often.

Radar not good. There are way too many overlays on the radar. I just want to see where the weather is coming from not as good as it used to be

Incorrect Radar. Since the new radar format, it can be pouring rain in my area and radar shows absolutely nothing. I get alerts that there is heavy rain in the area, or lightning detected but again, radar shows nothing. Looking for a new weather app that is accurate.

Worthless. I’ll always watch WBTV, but this app is worse than useless. It’s dangerous. It doesn’t always show a radar reading, and when it does, it is NEVER correct. It’s always different than what’s being shown on Chanel 3, always. Giving such misleading weather information is just plain dangerous when people rely on it for planning their daily lives. It will show clear skies in my area while a storm rolls through. Don’t use this app to plan any outdoor activities. You just might find unexpected thunder and lightning overhead.

Emergency Notifications are really just ads. My issue is the emergency notifications. Twice now on separate days, I’ve received a tornado warning alert. I click on the link (as directed) and it shows a TINY map with an arrow pointing to the area. FOR 3 SECONDS OR LESS! Then it immediately goes to an ad! There’s not enough time to even focus on the map, much less know where the arrow is pointing! This is supposed to warn me of a potential deadly weather event, and I’ve got a split second to focus before I get a 20 second stream of ads? Really? Come on y’all, you can do better! This is unacceptable!

Ads and sound issues. Clicking on the app’s Notification “Tornado Warning Issued - Click For Details” took me to an Advertisement! That’s some pretty screwed up priorities. Worse, while the ad’s sound was very loud, there was no sound on the video about the Tornado Warning. In general, the app generates too many unimportant Notifications every day. Stick to problems, like Tornado Warnings.

That was a waste of 5 minutes. Unfortunately I downloaded before reading reviews. Like others mentioned you have to watch an ad before getting the alert. Chintzy and below the belt for what i consider as the best weather team in CLT. I’ve already deleted this waste of time. I guess I should have expected 💩 from a Penguins fan.

Review. I feel WBT weather tends to be the most accurate in forecasting!

Skip the ads when there is dangerous weather. I find the app SO frustrating. When advance warning is everything for safety in a severe weather situation, that there is first an ADVERTISEMENT and then just a radar WITH NO TRACK or TIMING doesn't give me much information (or confidence) in this app.

App has grown progressly worse with each update..... you need to ditch your present IT PROVIDER. This app now has a dark (black) background which make viewing difficult and the general app atmosphere dismal.... Six months ago this was my weather app of choice.... now it is my last resort only....

WBTV Weather💯. Yes I check the HOURLY Temp Too! Since my health won’t allow me to be out shopping in High or Very Low temps! ThankYou WBTV for ALL you are! I Luv your mornings & ALL who are on there John Carter‼️💯

Neighborhood weather man. My husband things he is a behind the scenes weather man. He ALWAYS get its right! His secret??!? This app. He says it’s the only weather app that hasn’t let him down! Hourly, daily, even video updates.

Weather app review. There are too many advertisements in the app, too many notifications sent out daily and too many references to use the app on the newscast. We know about it, we can choose to use it but shouldn’t have to in order to be weather aware.

App good, forecasts misleading. The app is actually pretty good. I downloaded it solely for the weather radar that the basic phone weather app doesn’t offer. But WBTV’s forecasts have become increasingly more misleading. When dense clouds cover the entire region, it’s not ‘fair’ outside. Fair skies lead us to believe it’s sunny with blue skies.

This app is useless. Ads continuously play, causing me to be unable to get any other Information about dangerous weather. If a dangerous storm were to roll through I would not be (and haven't, in the past) be able to stay abreast of the information. This makes this app literally useless and totally unusable.

Weather. I love when it lets me know what the weather is going to be

WBTV. Your weather app is absolutely the best! Only thing that is lacking is the need to add the wind direction and speed to the Daily Section. It is absolutely annoying have to shuffle back and forth between the Daily Section and the Hourly Section just to obtain the wind information. Please fix this anomaly. Thank you.

Alerts Audible Inconsistent. I have all the settings on and the notification comes to screen but no sound or every other time. Lucky I’ve caught it pop up each time. Also the video cuts off before anchor is done so I wind up going to check weather elsewhere. 👎🏻

Ads make it hard to use during a weather emergency. During last tornado warnings when I was trying to get in a safe place I had to fight with ads to find out what was going on. At this point the ads are so encompassing they’ve rendered the video portion unusable but we do look at the hourly/daily and radar part of the app.

Love this app. I really like this app. It is always accurate and up to date. I wish it was available on my Apple Watch.

Tornado warning not picked up. Tornado 15 mins from my home was not picked up by this stupid weather app. My home security system alerted me and my family's other weather apps such as the weather channel notified everyone but me. This is life threatening news, so what good does this app do me to show me rain if it can't alert me to seek shelter??! UNINSTALLED!

Too many ads. The app’s effectiveness is diminished by the ads that appear before the features can be viewed. In an urgent weather situation, one does not want to wade through so many ads. Could the ads display with the requested page?

Accurate. Very accurate

Map out of date. The satellite map is 8 years out of date and some major cities are missing.

Notifications. I only signed up for severe weather alerts. However I get morning afternoon and evening notifications giving general weather information. Why? That’s not a severe weather alert. I get woken up at 1030 at night for that?

Useless. When you send me a “weather alert” and then make me wait for a commercial to play, I know it is not really an alert. I’ll get my alerts from people who don’t feel the need to sell me something.

Very informative. Thanks for all the alerts, they are very informative!

Weather. I like the way Eric explains the weather as a teacher would.

Daily weather forecasts. Enjoyable programming but I don’t enjoy the commercials! I watch other weather stations to avoid all the extra programming .

Wbtv weather. You can’t go wrong with Wbtv weather

Needs to be better. The version before the current was probably the best it’s ever been. The version they have now you have so many things to choose from as far as alerts and you can’t figure out what’s what… in this version? You have so many overlays that just doesn’t need to be there…. Really all we need to see is current and future radar. Half the time the radar won’t even show up because it just won’t load so you have to go out of it and go back in just to see if it works. Sometimes when you open the app and go to the radar all you see, is the directional paths, but not the images of the storms. This app definitely needs some work done so people will be happy.

I love my weather app. I love my weather app it follows me everywhere I go thank you so much Nicole and James

Really bad app. Used to be good. WBT needs to learn how to keep their hands off pf something that works. Do yourself a favor and get something else. At this moment I am riding the a thunderstorm and no clouds on radar. Permanent deletion. Y’all can go screw yourselves, don’t do it to me.

Incorrect radar. For the last few weeks the radar on my iPhone has been incorrect while it is correct at the same time on my iPad. What can I do to correct this?

Some times it work good occasionally it cuts up.. Some times it work good occasionally it cuts up.

Comment. Usually very accurate but the temperature is several degrees lower than forecasted. (A departure to the safe side).

Great Station. Their weather app is improved over the last two years. Way to go! Great station too!

To all the weather people. I think you all do a very good job with the weather forecast and alerting all the viewers of possible dangerous conditions my hat is off to you all thanks Darrell Chapman of Hickory NC

Accurate weather. Yes, it is possible! Find it on the WBTVWEATHER app today.

Ads. Way TOO many advertisements!! Especially when there is a special weather alert. Example: Tornado Warnings, Severe Thunderstorm warnings. Why would have ads when there is life threatening warnings?

Weather forecast. It is very helpful

App won’t load correctly. In the last month this app has been horrible! If you check the radar once, it won’t load again until you clear it out completely and restart it. It doesn’t load the radar future in a seamless manner, it is very slow and stutters. PLEASE FIX THE ISSUES

Video advertisements too long. Not a fan of having to watch an advertisement before a weather alert, especially when it is a severe storm warning or watch.

#1 Weather Team. It’s not a surprise that the #1 Weather Team has the #1 Weather App. I rely on the this app 24 hours a day. I’m notified of all situations from thunderstorms to snow and ice. Thank you, WBTV!

Radar is wrong. This app is just all kinds of wrong about the weather it was better back in the day when they just guessed and now they still can’t get any closer than 45% this is pathetic

Thank you!. I can confidently say that this app is the best for local weather updates! Always on time and accurate! Easy to use and understand! Great app! Thank you WBTVWEATHER!

What happened?!. I hate that they took off the past and future options on the radar which was really helpful. This app has also become very slow within the last couple months probably do to so many ads on the screen 😕

Weather forecast. I very much appreciate and enjoy this app having used it for several years now since it became available. Have always depended upon WBTV for most dependable and accurate news and forecast. One improvement I suggest is to have more frequent weather updates and forecast. As of late there’s too much time between updates. Thanks.

Weather reporting not as good since Eric Thomas gone. Not as good up to date info

Sbr. I do not like the newer version of the WBT weather app. I liked the old one better!

Weather radar. I hate your new way you do the radar now. Why change something that was good?

Subaru. The fact that the Subaru add lasts so long when you open the app, makes me not want to ever get a Subaru. It makes Subaru = frustration. If it was a 2 second add, it would make a world of difference

Will not launch. When I open the app, it stops at the Subaru ad ... that’s it. Really worthless at this point.

Won’t load. App has been unusable for two or three days now. Loads the Subaru ad and that’s it.

Reliable!. Fantastic app that I use each morning and throughout the day. Very accurate and easy to use. Thank you WBTV!

Ads!. Too many ads popping up!

Home screen and hourly temps are always different. The home screen temp and the temp under hourly is never the same. Sometimes as much as a 10 degree difference.

Review. Too many ads when I’m trying to find something. I didn’t download your app to look at ads

Weather. The graphics on the other map were much better.I don’t like the dark,drab, colors on this one.

Focus. Prints too small for the central issue- ads override weather

Tornado warning. Kept receiving alerts for tornado warnings. I can’t belive I had to sit through an ad before I could find out if a tornado was heading towards me ! Deleting

Good. I love this app because it has all the weather news you need to know 😘

Terrible. Makes you navigate too much and doesn't give good future forecasts.

Stop showing ads in weather emergencies!!!!. Tornado warning issued in my area and we can’t get to the warning or video to see what’s happening for having to sit through an ad.

Meh. Needs an update! Radar doesn’t work properly so what’s the point?

Love the WBTV WEATHER APP. Glad to have the WBTV WEATHER TEAM “ON MY SIDE”!!!

Not updated enough. They do not update the weather enough. The TV weather is always different than the app weather. How hard is it to sync them?

.. .

Commercials. All I got was a bojangles commercial!

Too many ads. I understood having an ad when the app first opened, but in the test release there is now an ad covering the bottom of the screen, and the 4 major controls for the app. It's now nothing more the a display of corporate greed. Come on WBTV, this is a weather app that is supposed to keep people informed and safe. Remove the ads, I highly doubt they are generating any income for anyone but you anyway.

Weather radar for iPad.. I thoroughly enjoy the weather app for iPad. Especially the earthquake notices. However, when I try to check for local radar for precip and cloud cover all that shows is the storm point and direction of it. I have to go to the weather channels app to see storm clouds and intensity which is most important. I have to go for the weather channel app to actually see the precipitation and intensity. The radar is much easier and boulder than the weather channels. Your immediate attention would keep app as my favor source for weather info. Please correct the proble because I don't want to rely on Othtvdtrhjig

What a HORRIBLE app.. The weather is inaccurate like there’s no thunderstorms in my area and you app says there is (yes I know what the word scattered means) but what if there’s a tornado and it just says tornado watch?

Works less than half the time. Since the update I have had terrible issues getting the radar to load while using high speed wifi. Wish I could go back to a previous version where everything worked.

LOUD RUDE ADS. I just deleted your weather app. I received a notification to read about this weekends potential severe weather. I am sitting next to a sleeping infant. My phone is on vibrate so I dont wake her. BAM! This amazingly loud advertisement plays. I scrambled to shut it down but could not for about 5 or 10 seconds. Figured I could read the "important" weather information again since the rude advertisement already played? NO. IT DOES IT AGAIN! Done. Your app is deleted and my review is 1 star. Holy cow, that is how fast you lose a customer.

Not Good. Many times App shows a blank screen during electrical storms. Have used this App for over 5 years but lately it just doesn’t work properly. Sorry but that’s my honest review ☹️

Terrible. Raining in my area but radar doesn’t show...

Probably my most useful app.. This is a really good weather application! You can adjust the map view to show the weather wherever you are, not just in Charlotte. I use it often!

WBTV weather. Awesome

Go to. WBTV is my go to channel for weather and new.

Future radar stinks. Future radar is virtually useless. Almost never correct.

Useless. Just an ego trip. Useless just a bunch of commercials and useless video. Expected to see weather where I am

Review of WEATHER REPORT. There are so many commercials I never get to the weather report. I hate it.

Accurate and Reliable. Awesome Radar!!!!

WBTVWEATHER. Love Al Conklin

Getting worse. I have had this apps for a long time and it was great, now it’s starting to have the wrong lows with 70’s across the board at night and no radar coming up. The other weather apps are working much better.

Tornado warning. Tornado warning issued and have to listen to stinkin ad before being able to find details. Unsatisfactory!

Love it!!!. It’s so easy to use.

Best darn weather station!. Oh yes! WBTV is my favorite weather station. Leah Brock is favored.

Seriously unrealistic. I saw that for three weeks they said I was gonna get a fort of snow. Then, it changes two hours in advance, and says it’s gonna be 60 degrees. 🤦‍♂️

Warnings, Threats, and Video. My favorite part of the app is where they issue a warning but make you watch a video before you can see where the imminent threat of danger is. Good times.

Good weather app. This is a good weather app, but it like all of a sudden there are too many ads. Before and during the app.

App not functioning. Have not had any functionality for 2 days.

Rarely works. I’m so sick and tired of staring at the opening Subaru ad and that’s all I ever get. Pretty worthless app 😞

Needs option to customize alert sound. I want to be able to hear it if it's a tornado warning and I'm asleep...it needs a lot more options for customizing the alerts. Really has none, just sends you to the iPhone settings where you can do nothing

Crashes. It was a good app. And now today I can’t even load the app

Accurate. You people are ALWAYS WRONG! Clyde McClain, Cloudy was more accurate than you people are now with less technology.

Location problems. The location keeps going to null,EC rather than where I actually am which is approximately 30 miles from Charlotte.
