User Reviews

Users praise CBS 6 Richmond weather for accurate forecasts, reliable alerts, and a solid radar experience, with many sticking with it for years. However, multiple reviews note significant downsides: intrusive full-screen ads and aggressive premium prompts; a disliked UI redesign that feels cluttered on some devices; recurring radar/forecast display glitches; and frequent update prompts that interrupt usage. The core weather data remains strong, but UX issues appear across reviews.

Pros

High forecast accuracy and on‑point weather alerts.
Reliable radar functionality with current features (storms, wind, hail).
Long‑standing reliability and trust; many users have used it for years.
Fast loading and visually appealing graphics.

Cons

Intrusive full‑screen ads and aggressive premium prompts disrupt usage.
UI/UX redesign is disliked (looks more like other apps and can feel cluttered, especially on iPad).
Radar/forecast display issues (radar flashing, daily/hourly forecasts not loading, follow‑me problems).
Frequent update prompts/forced updates interrupt use.

I understand that advertising helps pay for stuff- but when I get a station alert and then have to watch commercials before I see the videos of said alert, it's time to say goodbye. There are so many free apps with close to zero commercials out there. I'll give y'all one thing! Your commercials are not NEARLY as bad as WBBT's app! 🤷‍♂️I just go to YouTube and watch Ryan Hall or Max Velocity which is just as good.

You’ve redeemed yourself with the latest update. Love the features and quick loading time with beautiful graphics! And, the minimal ads with no full page ads to have to close has this working far better than weatherbug. The only little gripe I’ve had, maybe corrected in this update, is that the app would not work while visiting Germany. I’d get notifications but the app would not load. (Prior review a while ago) You’ve ruined one of the best weather apps with full page ads suddenly appearing! Political ad no less to start. The audio was unexpected at 2AM in the morning, and at full volume woke others in my home! Further, the silence button and the X button are too close to the corners to shut off or close! This may be because my phone is set for larger text… but still should not be! Move to another app feature?… Another ad! I’ve used this app for years and is my local weather. I’ve given the app excellent reviews in the past. It was quick to load… but no more! Totally disgusting business practice. I have so many personal settings and locations I hate to leave behind, but if this is not remedied it’s time for me to find another app.
