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.

The ads interfere with using the app. Don't get me wrong, love wral, watch it on TV, and read their site; however, when it comes to checking the weather, I want in and out of my weather app as quickly as possible. I understand the need for the ads, but the fact I have to sit through them on the daily? I use other weather apps, some with a subscription etc. I keep wral weather app on my phone for the extreme weather info.
