User Reviews

Users praise WJAR Radar for being a trusted, easy-to-use source for local weather with travel usefulness and helpful content from Turnto10. However, recurring complaints center on performance and reliability (slow startup, glitches, and occasional crashes), readability and color-contrast issues in temperatures and maps, and occasionally outdated forecasts or radar. Many want an ad-free paid option and improvements after updates. Overall, its strength is trusted local data, but persistent usability and display problems reduce satisfaction.

Pros

Trusted, long-standing local weather source used daily
Easy to navigate and generally accurate
Strong for local and travel forecasts with Turnto10 video content
Reliable weather information and daily temperature readings cited by users
Recent improvements add value without detracting from core features

Cons

App is slow to open / long startup times
Frequent crashes or need to reinstall; unreliable uptime
Poor readability/contrast in temperatures and map visuals (red temps on blue background; color accessibility)
Forecasts and radar sometimes outdated or not current
Ads present; desire for an ad-free paid version

Seems today’s apps are not as accurate as the one years ago. It shows cloudy and nothing else then all of a sudden it starts pouring rain, look at the app and still does show rain the minutes later it does. Radar has a 24 hour setting but stops after about 18 hours, doesn’t anyone know how to count. This is not the only weather app I use the others are just as bad so I not just picking on this one.

Why does it take 8 seconds for the app to open!!!?? This would be a 5 star app if it opened normally like every other app. Oh well, lots of other weather apps that open instantly. Do better!

Even with my brand new phone and a fast connection, it is a terribly slow app. I appreciate all the people on it and the price is certainly right, but it can be glitchy and clunky. I’ve never used an app that was this sssssllllllooooooowwwThese weather professionals deserve better.
