User Reviews

CBS 21 WX app is appreciated for its local weather and hometown news content and generally user-friendly design. However, multiple users report issues with inaccurate or delayed weather data, poor location tracking features, and absence of detailed precipitation amounts. Some also mention app crashes, excessive ads, and outdated information as drawbacks. While it appeals to fans of local news personalities, reliability concerns around weather reporting remain prevalent.

Pros

Provides local weather and hometown news effectively.
Easy to navigate and user-friendly interface for some users.
Includes information by known local personalities (e.g., Tom Russell).
Mostly accurate weather predictions in certain cases.
Good integration with local news content.

Cons

Inaccurate or delayed weather information, especially radar and current conditions.
App struggles with location services, including "Follow Me" feature and moving the location dot.
Lack of detailed precipitation accumulation data (e.g., snow or rain amounts).
App contains too many ads and outdated data sections (e.g., daily section not updated since 2016).
Crashes or fails to open for some users.

Recent reviews

I've been using the CBS 21 WX App since at least 2021 and it used to be fairly accurate but as lately July & August of 2024 the interactive radar hasn't been accurate. I'd check the radar for current conditions and there'd be no precipitation showing over my current location yet step outdoors and there's precipitation falling and after it passes it shows up on the radar. I always keep my Apps updated so I don't know the cause of the issue.
