Earthquake and storm tracks are now available as radar layers for enhanced situational awareness.

Push alerts are free for 25+ alert types, including tornado warnings, winter storm warnings, and tropical storm alerts. You can save and name locations, drop precise pins on the map, and use GPS for current location awareness. The app works on tablets and phones, offers high-resolution satellite imagery, and provides neighborhood-level radar zoom, all for the United States only.

User Reviews

Users praise the app for its local Pittsburgh focus, clean UI, reliable forecasts, and useful alerts. However, many reviews cite issues with outdated or poorly timestamped video content, intrusive ads after updates, inconsistent local accuracy, and multiple performance/UI glitches that hinder usability. Overall, the app is valued for local relevance but is hampered by update-related annoyances and data reliability concerns.

Pros

Strong local focus with accurate Pittsburgh-area forecasts.
User-friendly UI with clear daily, hourly, and monthly icons and layout.
Trusted forecast and dependable performance for many users.
Useful station alerts for timely warnings without excessive clutter.
Concise, information-rich presentation without unnecessary bells and whistles.

Cons

Video content can be outdated or not clearly labeled with timestamps, making it hard to tell current versus past conditions.
Ads became intrusive after updates, cluttering the weather feed and reducing usability.
Forecast accuracy is inconsistent for some areas, with users reporting inaccuracies or missing local data.
Performance and UI glitches, including slow taps, automatic switching to video when scrolling, radar loading issues, and overlay UI problems on iOS.

Recent reviews

Let’s just be completely honest here when you put a severe weather alert out and somebody clicks the banner instead of telling us or showing us where the severe weather is occurring in our neighborhood we instead have to wait for a 30 second to one minute long ad to scroll across before you can do anything when severe weather counts seconds matter I believe that is y’all slogan if that’s the case then why would you put an ad in that place for 30 seconds? Why not after we look at the alert? That’s just a really bad way to do things. There could be a tornado warning and instead of getting the warning all we’re getting is some stupid ad for a mattress. Yeah we’re probably gonna need a couple of those after the storm if we survive no thanks to WPXI.
