User Reviews

Users generally praise the app for reliable radar, accurate forecasts, and brand trust as a go-to weather source. The main drawbacks are ad-heavy experiences that hinder critical features, a disruptive update that split content into two apps and introduced media issues, plus data freshness and performance problems (outdated data, mis-timed alerts, and UI glitches). Overall sentiment is mixed: valuable weather information is there, but ads and reliability/UX issues significantly detract.

Pros

Up-to-the-minute radar keeps users informed during severe weather.
Forecasts and current conditions are accurate and reliable.
Strong Channel 3 branding and trusted weather source.
App is a go-to, useful source for weather information.

Cons

Excessive and intrusive ads, including gating critical features like radar and warnings.
After the update, content is split into two apps and the UX is worse; video/audio issues.
Data freshness problems: outdated forecasts and mis-timed alerts.
Performance and usability issues: slow video, syncing problems, glitches on iPad, bloated interface.
Frequent, repetitive push alerts and mis-targeted county warnings.

Recent reviews

I like WFSB weather forecasting a lot. Live radar, and all great personalities of the meteorologists.

This app is horrible with the number of ads. Severe weather alerts cone across and you have to watch an ad first before you can find out what is going on.
