User Reviews

The app is valued for accurate, easy-to-navigate weather information, hourly updates, travel planning benefits, and in-app video coverage. However, frequent crashes, heavy ads, unreliable radar/forecasts, slow live video, and location/alert mismatches are common complaints. Overall, it’s highly useful content-wise but reliability and UX issues significantly detract from the experience.

Pros

Accurate and dependable weather information with an easy-to-navigate interface
Timely hourly updates and alerts that help with planning and travel
In-app weather videos/coverage from the news team
Useful for daily planning and scheduling around weather
Generally reliable performance and broad weather coverage

Cons

Frequent crashes, especially when tapping Daily or Hourly, with no easy crash reporting
Heavy and annoying ads that disrupt viewing and delay updates
Poor live video experience: redirects to a website and loads slowly
Radar/forecast data often appears inaccurate or inconsistent with other sources
Location/alert issues: alerts from the wrong state or content not relevant to the user

Ok so WLBT is awesome ok who cares what the other people rate it there probably not from the south . This app is amazing it gives you videos but no it’s not long at all . The people are just impatient. I was in the march 24 2023 rolling fork tornado and the chief meteorologist Dave Roberts he saved my moms and me life!

The app crashes constantly. Specifically when tapping on Daily or Hourly. It will crash several times in a row before it finally loads the data. There is no way to report it when it crashes either. It’s not a user issue- cache cleared, happens during good data or WiFi connection, etc. It’s been going on for quite some time.
