User Reviews

Users largely complain about WTVA Weather's stability and user experience rather than data quality alone. Several reviews note the app crashes during live streams, freezes, or won't open after OS updates. Ad changes and full-screen video ads have degraded usability, with many asking for a subscription option. Alert timing is inconsistent: some report storms far away or warnings arriving hours late. Others miss the local meteorologist presence after Matt Laubhan's departure and lament the content shift. Some still value the accurate lightning alerts and radar overlays. Overall, mixed quality with notable reliability and UX concerns.

Pros

Accurate lightning strike alerts and radar overlays that aid preparedness.
Helpful weather alerts and warnings for planning.
Matt Laubhan's voice is valued by some users and is a positive feature.

Cons

Frequent crashes and stability issues (crashing during live streams, freezing, or the app not opening after updates).
Intrusive ads and full-screen video ads that disrupt usage (with some users requesting a subscription).
Inaccurate or late alerts (storm warnings arriving far away or hours after the storm).
Radar reliability issues and map inaccuracies (glitchy radar).
Perceived decline in content quality due to staff/ownership changes (loss of local meteorologists).

Recent reviews

We’ve depended on WTVA weather since the 80’s. Yes Matt left, but how did it take such a short amount of time to fall so severely short of being reliable and present? Present is the biggest part. Absolutely dropped the ball during the January freeze. Y’all went out of your way to show us how little it mattered. What shame

I have always loved this app but all of a sudden you have ads that pop up every few minutes and it is ridiculous! I am deleting this app. Completely not worth it! Sad this has turned into garbage.
