1. ★★★★★ads disrupt the experience

   Too many damn ads for me!!!!. Add

2. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Volume. I can never hear what’s being said on the app

3. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Ads?????. Why cant you offer an app that would not require ads everywhere making it harder to check the forecast and watch potential life threatening storms coming in? PLEASE REMOVE THE ADS or offer an paid upgrade so you can still make enough money to run the app itself

4. ★★★★★ads disrupt the experience

   I hope you can sit through ads while checking for threatening weather. When weather coverage was moved from the main news app to this app, everything is delivered in video format. No longer do we have written editorials warning of incoming or current weather that may be threatening us. You must sit through 1-2 30sec ads to watch their video to find out if you're in danger. Unfortunately during heavy storms, data is often sluggish to your cell phone. I would be fine with them having as many side/top/bottom ads as they'd like-- but let me receive a weather warning without ads or poor cell connection gatekeeping the news.

5. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Fix it please to see in landscape. Your app use to work on iPad in landscape mode and it don’t now, it hasn’t for over a year please fix this it is only portrait now so you have to turn iPad to see. It don’t work unless your connected to the internet, so useless…

6. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Updated Radar is now unreadable. The basic content like the 10 day forecast, hour by hour is very good unfortunately the latest update puts weather advisories and alerts actually on the radar rather than in banner form which has rendered the radar absolutely unreadable and useless. My recommendation would be to only use WTVM if you want a 10day outlook and find another app for radar.

7. ★★★★★inaccurate results and incorrect data

   App is not good. Hard to find stories that I want to see and stories many times are not accurate!

8. ★★★★★a needed feature is missing

   Needs an Update. As of June 8, 2021 the newest update lags and doesn’t open most times for the news app. Trying to hard to make it video based. Need to review and revise to keeping it simple. Just my thoughts.

9. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   It’s ok. We lived in Kentucky and wdrb is way way better

10. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Errors galore. I have used the app for years but for the last couple of months it is not working correctly. When I pull up the radar it either flashes the storms on and off the screen so quickly you can’t see it or it won’t show anything. I have to coliseums out of all apps on the phone and then try… it will work for a couple of minutes and then I have to close all the way out and open it again.

11. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    App only opens after phone is turned off and back on.. I love the app when I can open it. Ever since the last update the app only opens once. If I go back later and want to open it again, the WTVMWEATHER screen with yalls picture comes up, but it seems to freeze there. I have to turn my phone off completely and back on again every time. Then I can view the app one time.

12. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Homemaker. Can’t find anywhere to enter a zip code for Eufaula, AL weather.

13. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    New not better. New app is difficult to use. Only want the radar view and I can not find it. Wish the old app. Would stop with the pop up reminded to use the new. New is not better.

14. ★★★★★accessibility and assistive-technology issues

    Literally blind you when calling up the keyboard. The only thing I truly hate about the program is when it calls the up the keyboard. It only uses white. Even if I have all of my keyboards setup to use dark mode when it comes up in the app it overrides my settings and displays it so blight it’s literally blinding me. My system settings are set up to use dark mode only it’s a horrible experience. The app itself is using a night / dark mode per system settings. But inside of the app it displays the keyboard in white… It’s like going out at night and having someone play around with shining a flashlight directly into your eyes…

15. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    App issues. The app is always different than the live broadcast. Which one should I believe? Also,the app may show 40% chance of rain and when I click on hourly, it shows 70% throughout the day.

16. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Earthquake/hurricane. Old symbols were better and used to give so much more info. Please revert.

17. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Just need an option to edit which alerts you receive. I would like to be able to edit which alerts I receive. I don't want my phone going off in the middle of the night because of a thunderstorm warning, or a flash flood warning. But I do want it to go off for a tornado warning. Currently, there's no way to filter which alerts you receive, so it's all or nothing.

18. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Great update except for.... I think the Oct. 2016 update will be easier for people to maneuver around. Ironically, I had just recently gotten use to WTVM's carousel-type menu, so now I feel lost again! 😁 My only complaint with the newest update is that I can no longer watch live news and weather segment through the weather app. I really enjoyed being able to watch WTVM live newscast or watch video of the most recent newscast from my iPhone or tablet wherever I was! I hope the next update to WTVM Weather app will restore access to the newscasts! Btw, I'm aware that the WTVM news app probably gives access to newscasts. But why download 2 apps when I can get what I need from 1!

19. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Love all but one feature. Great app. Would be even better WITHOUT the huge "locator dot". The more you zoom out, the larger it appears on the map. It actually COVERS UP my location, defeating the point! Please... Remove the dot!!!

20. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Leaving. I am leaving WTVM the new update is not good

22. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Great weather reports. Mostly accurate weather report. I’m glad I have this channel to rely on.

23. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Weather Alerts. The meteorologists do an excellent job of keeping us up to date and prepared for the weather. Just out of curiosity, I have always wondered why the beautiful lady meteorologists wear sleeveless dresses when it’s 26 degrees outside. Is it that warm in the studio?

24. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Review. Great channel.

25. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Channel 9. I love this app. It keeps me updated in real time.

26. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Not your average meteorologist!. Most of the weather folks have a tendency to overemphasize the possibility of bad weather like selling a used car! The facts and the warnings are good, necessery, and appreciated, but Derek is honest enough to tell us when he thinks the weather will not actually be that bad, and has been correct 100% of the time. Very comforting! My only source for the weather forecast.

27. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Great. Love this app

28. ★★★★★stable and reliable performance

    Reliable. It’s local and it’s reliable. I like that I can look at just today, the next couple of days, or the next week. I trust WTVM Meteorologists!

29. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Review. I was in Harris County in late March for a funeral. The power was out and tornados were going through. I found your app downloaded it and it got me through. I live in Atlanta and still use it. It’s a great app. You can click on radar and see it. Thanks.

30. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Does the job. This has been my go to application for weather . It’s on point and radar is super accurate
