Recent reviews

Everything with the weather app for WRGB is excellent except for repeated letters and concerns at the dew point does not show anymore. The new look is supposed to but it does not show up on the Android model and I've repeatedly installed and uninstalled the app

We check out our weather each day morning and evening on WRGB, (this app), before we plan out our day (for the day ahead)! THEY'RE GREAT! They also let you know of the possibilities what could happen, and I appreciate that! I enjoy their personalness and interaction with each other.
