User Reviews

Users praise WAFF 48 for accurate, reliable weather and a clear, radar-focused experience that helps daily planning and location-based forecasts. However, many complain about radar changes in updates that removed overlays and storm tracks, crashes and battery drain, intrusive ads, and the radar defaulting to a basic view each time. Widget/update glitches also detract from usability. Overall, the app is valued for reliability and format, but recent changes have led to frustration and calls for a return to prior Radar functionality.

Pros

High accuracy and reliability of weather data
Clear, visible radar that aids planning
Location-based weather that works anywhere
Well-organized format with hourly updates
Useful for daily planning and routine weather awareness

Cons

Radar features degraded by updates (no overlays/storm tracks, past/future connection lost)
Frequent crashes and battery drain; glitches
Intrusive ads and ad-related annoyances
Radar view resets to basic on each open requiring reconfiguration
Widget/update issues (glitches; no manual refresh)

LIFE THREATENING USER INTERFACE UPDATE. This app used to automatically show tornado tracks on the radar. Today I was awakened by a tornado warning siren. I opened the app and saw the tornado warning announcement as an option, I poked that and it displayed a blocky diagram of my county, but not the radar. Then I figured out the user interface had been changed. I spent precious minutes figuring out to poke + at the end of the floating bubbles, and had to create a custom view to see tracks.

It's great for day to day weather forecasts, though it's a little slow. When it comes to emergencies the app rarely sends me timely notifications and often doesn't have anything at the top about the emergency. My weather radio will go off long before the app does (if the app notifies me at all). I have the app specifically to get notified about tornados, and an hour+ delay makes me worry about when I may be caught away from home (and subsequently my radio).
