User Reviews

Users like News 9 Weather for its free access and radar capabilities, including tropical data. However, many reviews repeatedly highlight major drawbacks: unreliable radar (including removal of the future radar), non-live video during severe weather, intrusive ads, frequent crashes, limited notification control, and poor video/orientation handling. These issues erode timely warnings and safety reliance, suggesting the app’s stability and functionality have degraded compared with earlier versions.

Pros

Free to use with no in-app purchases
Accurate radar with multiple filters, including tropical forecasts/models
Historically trusted for weather safety; warnings and live broadcasts have helped during severe weather
Provides tropical forecast data and related weather models

Cons

Radar is choppy/glitchy and the future radar option was removed, making planning harder
Live video is not actually live during emergencies; ads before live content and limited/full-screen viewing hinder critical updates
Frequent crashes or the app won’t open/loading issues degrade reliability during storms
Notifications cannot be customized and can wake users at odd hours with unwanted alerts
Orientation and video playback issues (forced portrait on some devices; difficulty rotating to landscape and viewing videos full-screen)

I’ve followed David Payne and used this app for years, but if it doesn’t improve, I will delete it. Where’s the dew point? What about heat index instead of “feels like”? Rather insulting and much less useful. I hope they revamp it again soon. The older version was much more useful.
