★★★★★Huge file!!!!🇺🇸 US

This app is way way too big!!!! It’s the biggest space taker I have on my phone. It’s at 95gb. Why!?!?

Whyanicknamehuh· 2026-05-27
★★★★★Bag radar🇺🇸 US

The weather radar only goes forward future 2 hours or a 24 hour version which is useless. A future radar tat is at least 6 hours would at least be useful for planning purposes

★★★★★Unreliable when it counts🇺🇸 US

This app used to be great. The radar and notifications still work really well. If you want to watch a forecast video from hours ago, that works too (after watching ads, and rewatching them if you decide you want full screen). What no longer works is when you want to watch live videos, for example during the 10pm news. Used to, you could watch the news live on the app, but not anymore. Also, when the weather takes over the station because there are tornadoes, you can’t watch the live news. Moments like that are the whole reason I have this app. Why would you take that off? Very disappointing.

★★★★Prepare to need more storage🇺🇸 US

I had to delete This app because it ended up taking 74GB of space on my phone… the app, when it would work, was ok.

★★★★What happened??🇺🇸 US

My family has relied on this app to stay weather aware and safe for years. The warnings and especially the live broadcast have literally saved our lives and property before. Within the last two years something has happened to this app.. it started with making me watch ads before viewing the live broadcast during emergency events where minutes and even seconds can really count. The app started crashing constantly, and then the ads got even worse, making me watch a 15-39 second ad multiple times throughout a critical live broadcast. The PIP feature stopped working and for the last few months the app won't even open at all. Just sits on the loading page eternally. I've updated, deleted and redownloaded it multiple times, and I've contacted support repeatedly as well and apparently the developers no longer care about this app being functional to keep people safe during storm season. I don't really know what else to do now but this is extremely disappointing.

★★★★Dysfunctional🇺🇸 US

Why is this app so dysfunctional with new iPhones? So frustrating

★★★★★Crashing🇺🇸 US

App keeps crashing after opening. But before that it was my go to app for weather updates.

★★★★★Radar🇺🇸 US

The radar is very choppy and glitchy. Before the update it was smooth. Been waiting for an update to smooth out the glitchiness but it hasn’t come yet. The regular news 9 app is great and radar smooth.

★★★★★Ugh🇺🇸 US

You messed this app up badly! The radar barely functions and you cannot see the direction the storm is going at all much less after it has finished showing you up to the current time. That in itself takes way too long! As said by others, many of the changes are nothing but fluff. It has done nothing to make this app better.

★★★★★What happened!🇺🇸 US

What happened? I can only get current location weather when I flip to get my other two locations!
