User Reviews

Users like WRAL Weather for its accurate radar and trusted forecasts, plus useful radar control and alert features. However, recurring radar loading failures, heavy ads, and a disruptive redesign hurt usability. Missing metric units and absence of iOS widgets are common complaints, along with a desire for improved stability and a return to more intuitive navigation.

Pros

Accurate forecasts and radar are praised; users report reliable rain and temperature readings.
Radar control features are valuable and well-regarded (ability to manipulate radar).
Severe weather alerts/warnings help users prepare for dangerous conditions.
WRAL is viewed as a trusted, familiar weather source compared to competitors.
Some users note improvements to the UI and overall usability after fixes.

Cons

Radar frequently fails to load or shows a black screen or loading issues after updates.
App is cluttered withAds/advertisements, making the experience intrusive.
Major redesign/changes to the map and UI degrade usability and make navigation harder compared to the old version.
Lack of metric units (no Celsius display) is frustrating for international users.
No iOS widgets; users want widget support to access weather at a glance.

This app is one of the worst I have ever used. Totally garbage.

Usually, when I look on Weather apps, they’re never accurate and they’re like completely off, but this one has a good accuracy on being the right temperature and what’s gonna happen most of the time except for when it snows
