User Reviews

Reviewers praise WFAA’s weather accuracy and trusted meteorologist updates but clash with a poorly received update. The top repeated complaints are broken or removed radar functionality, slower performance and crashes, and a confusing redesign that hides or eliminates key features. These issues have driven some users to switch to other apps for weather information, even as a subset still values the WFAA weather team. The primary ask is to restore radar, improve performance, and revert to a more usable UI.

Pros

WFAA weather forecasts are viewed as more accurate than those from other providers (e.g., Apple Weather, Weather.com, MS Weather, Google).
Users trust the weather updates from the WFAA meteorology team, notably Pete Delkus.
The app has long been a go-to source for local information, reflecting user familiarity and loyalty to the WFAA brand.

Cons

Weather radar features are repeatedly broken, removed, or replaced with an unusable interface after the latest update.
App performance degraded post-update: slower load times, freezing, and crashes.
The redesign is confusing and hard to navigate, with loss of features (e.g., dark mode, detailed forecasts) and a less usable layout.
Many users are switching to alternative apps (Weather.com, NBC 5) for reliable weather information due to these issues.

Recent reviews

I like the national ABC connection; speaking of “liking”, I like the friendly local people too, especially Jesse (concerned that he seems less visible lately) and the sports team. I also like the increased role of the “traffic” lady. —I wish that the channel included many more Rangers games like the Wings and Mavericks on KFAA 29!😏
