User Reviews

Users praise WMTV15 for accurate, reliable weather data and useful severe-warnings, plus detailed information and ease of use. However, the app draws strong criticism for intrusive ads, location/alert inaccuracies, iPad compatibility problems, missing dew point data, and slower radar updates. Overall sentiment is mixed: solid data and alerts clash with usability and stability drawbacks.

Pros

Accurate and reliable weather data reported across multiple reviews.
Severe weather alerts/warnings are a highlighted feature that helps users prepare for storms.
The app provides detailed weather information and is generally easy to use.

Cons

Intrusive and heavy advertising, including unskippable ads and ad screens on startup.
Location/alert accuracy issues: alerts show for the wrong places and the app sometimes mis-detects user location.
iPad compatibility issues and crashes after updates (or outright non-function on iPad).
Dew point data is missing or hard to find (demands for dew point visibility).
Radar updates can be slow/not as timely as users expect.

The app is 10% weather and 90% advertisement for malware and other suspicious/questionable websites. …yet, it’s allegedly sponsored by a bank. What’s the point of sponsorship if you subject users to dangerous advertisements???

This app has a lot to recommend it. It gives severe weather warnings ahead of the Apple weather app by a lot. But it also gives false information enough to be annoying—for example I just got a notification of “heavy rain near your location” and it’s sunny. I also frequently get alerts for places I no longer am, such as when I return from vacation. And because it doesn’t seem to know where I am, I need to check severe weather alerts against reality if they seem wrong.
