User Reviews

Most reviews criticize the latest WTHR app update. Users report slow startup, crashes, and instability, with videos dominating content and reducing readable stories. Finding topics is harder due to missing search and clunky navigation, and push alerts often fail to load. Some mention weather/radar issues or outdated data. A small number praise the new visuals and minor weather layout tweaks. Overall, the update draws widespread dissatisfaction with a few positives.

Pros

Some users appreciate the new visual/layout design introduced with the update.
A few reviewers note minor improvements to the weather section, such as having the main forecast at the top.
A minority mention fewer ads during videos, a rare positive in an otherwise negative update.

Cons

Severe performance problems after update: slow loading, crashes, hangs, and long boot times.
Content shifted toward video-heavy format with fewer written articles; navigation is hard and search is missing.
Push/alerts often fail to open the linked story or load correctly.
Navigation/findability issues: hard to locate specific topics like school closings; poor search presence.
Weather radar/weather data bugs or outdated/inaccurate information.

The old (and separate) weather app was so much better. This combined app's weather isn't as detailed and just over all is terrible compared to the old separate app. Changes need to be made!
