Review summary

WDAY StormTRACKER is praised for its accurate forecasts, useful radar, and local weather videos. Users find it easy to use and rely on it daily. However, many reviews highlight consistent problems with video playback, often showing old or unplayable forecast videos. Notification management is problematic, with alerts being difficult to disable and frequently recurring. Some users experience app lag, radar inaccuracies, and crashes, particularly with videos and during radar use. Despite these drawbacks, the app remains valued for its detailed weather information and local news integration.

Pros

Accurate and timely weather forecasts and storm alerts.
Radar functionality is useful and helps with local weather tracking.
Provides videos and local news broadcasts related to weather.
User-friendly interface and easy to navigate.
Includes features like live radar, notifications, and precipitation totals that users appreciate.

Cons

Forecast videos often fail to play, show outdated videos, or crash consistently.
Notification system is buggy, with issues turning off alerts and receiving repeated notifications.
Radar can occasionally lock up the phone or show inaccurate information.
App requires reloading frequently and can be slow or unresponsive at times.
Lack of desired features like past radar beyond one hour and temperature display in notifications/status bar.

2024-12-31	Oa*****	This app has been far more reliable than any other I've used in the last 5-6 years. Very rarely has it let me down or had less-than-accurate predictions. Highly recommend this for those living in the midwest/where weather can be predictably unpredictable!

2024-12-20	ka*****	Cannot play the last video. "Says unable to play at this time." Have to wait until a new video comes out to play the older one. I prefer to watch the most current one rather than one that is 9 hrs old and the actual weather has past. Very frustrating. Have to just check the radar and the hourly to figure out something myself. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app and same thing happens. Otherwise it's a 5 star.

2024-12-19	Ly*****	Videos are frustrating. Try to watch most recent video update from an hour ago and takes you to a later video. Then says video unavailable. Do not recommend

2024-12-16	Ry*****	Mostly a nice app. The videos crash constantly and God forbid I try to watch them full screen. Needs improvement. Update: newest videos now don't play at all and revert to the next previous video. If it weren't for the excellent radar and decent forecast there would be almost no point in keeping this app.

2024-08-10	Jo*****	One year update- Nothings changed... This dumb app never plays the forecast videos, does not show random info like "how much rain did we get". Debating on just uninstalling

2024-07-15	Ni*****	UPDATE 7.14.24: Come on guys!! Fix the damn videos already! It's been years! 2/2024: I like this app, the radar, the ability to catch the news live (even tho it cuts it off early) However you need to fix the forcast videos, it NEVER plays the most current (most important) video update. It's always "unable to play." A video from 4 to 9+ hours prior is unhelpful
