User Reviews

Overall, users like the Channel 7 Weather brand and the information it provides, especially when it works. However, repeated issues overshadow the positives: heavy ads, laggy/incorrect radar visuals, a flood of notifications, reliability problems during severe weather, and a clunky UI. These recurring problems suggest a useful weather app that is hampered by monetization and technical/UI flaws.

Pros

Praise for the local Channel 7 News and Weather team / on-air staff
The app provides weather information and is valued by users when functioning
Users feel the app and information are strong and useful, especially for followers of Channel 7 News

Cons

Intrusive or excessive ads / advertising loading slows usage
Radar data issues including lag behind real-time weather and smoothing inaccuracies
Too many or irrelevant notifications / limited customization options
Reliability problems such as crashes and inconsistent performance during severe weather
Cumbersome UI/UX and navigation problems (confusing steps, reloading delays, inability to delete locations)

Recent reviews

I downloaded this app to keep up with the weather. I get weather alerts that directs me to a video and then the videos have no sound. It would nice to have an alert that you can read and not just videos.
