Recent reviews

Have used the App for a number of years. Has best map with accurate past and future weather front projection for the selected area. Can pin point a specific location. Would like to see wind speed on the daily hour by hour weather list. I don't watch the weather videos as too general and usually not current

I have always trusted our WLNS TV 6 Weather to be able to give the Highest and most Accurate Weather Forecast for well over 40 Year's, and now to have the WLNS Weather App to be able to have a most trustworthy Weather forecast from anywhere in the United State's of America is just as good as having the WLNS TV 6 Weather Team available right inside the Cellphone at any time, especially for when it comes to the Severe Weather Storm's!!
