User Reviews

Users praise WFMY Radar for accurate forecasts and a useful follow-me feature, with comparisons favoring it over some paid apps. However, multiple reviews highlight stability and UI issues: repeated crashes/opening failures, problematic radar looping, forced always-on location services, radar data loading problems, and unreliable severe-weather alerts. These recurring drawbacks affect usability during emergencies, even as the app remains a trusted source when it runs smoothly.

Pros

Highly accurate and reliable forecasts.
Helpful "follow me" feature for location-specific forecasts during travel.
Generally intuitive and easy to use; many users consider it among the best local weather apps.
Positive comparisons to competitors, with some users switching from paid apps to WFMY for better value/quality.

Cons

Frequent crashes or the app won’t open after OS updates or on startup.
Radar past/future looping changes; looping speed is too fast or inconsistent, hindering storm tracking.
Location services issues: requires always-on location and makes it hard to manage saved locations.
Radar data/loading problems: radar layers or current conditions occasionally fail to load.
Severe weather alerts/notifications sometimes do not trigger, leaving users uninformed during warnings.

There is a five minute gap between the past and the future radar! Whenever we have a tornado warning i have the local tv on and my app because tv show other areas at the storm etc. I couldn’t follow with this version for todays tornado warning 3-16-26 , on tv WXII radar was red all around and on top of me but the app had red north and green over me,, very dangerous, i know what im looking at because i love weather stuff, and keep my kids and parents up to date when warnings come up. This app is like all other weather apps that look the same now. I don’t mind things changing but this is just too different and useless now for up to minute watching.

Please slow down the radar “past” looping. Goes to fast. Your app has consistently been my favorite go-to radar, but I’m looking for others since you’ve changed it. Put the looping back the way it was a month or so ago.

Not sure what is going on with the app. My husband has an android phone and his app and mine have totally different information. Not sure what is going on if something to do with iPhone latest update. Todays current temperature reads as 25 it’s 90 something outside. iPhone app issues must have just started because I have been using everyday for weather for years.
