I have put up with the abundance of intrusive ads because I felt when you finally got information, it was fairly accurate. However, now the hour-by-hour has been reformatted so you can no longer see t... See more

Hate the new manage!!

I have had the weather channel app on my phone for some time and have had no issues with it until lately. They must have done an update, and now I am not happy. I have very few notifications as I have those controlled, but now they added a manage to notifications. I can’t even see the notifications until I hit latest as manage ALWAYS COMES UP FIRST!!!! I have tried to control the things under manage mainly by getting rid of mostly everything and it still comes up first. They need to change this around or I am going to have to get rid of this app as it is becoming a big pain to have to mess with manage every time!!!!!!!!!

This app is horrible

This app is horrible. They send too many alerts. I don't need 5 alerts telling me it is raining or lightening nearby. When this many unnecessary alerts are sent you tend to disregard the alerts. I'm done with them! There has to be something better!.

Weather Channel App…

I don't like the new version as well as earlier ones. I also notice that they try to get you to pay to stop so many adds. I am just not into the new look or layout.

About as accurate as a hooker at a truck stop

About as accurate as a hooker at a truck stop, she'll put her finger in the air and say that its partly cloudy, meanwhile the sky is falling out because youre being hit by a hurricane. Don't trust weather.com

In all actuality. Said it would be sunny today last night, then it said partly cloudy this morning, 30 minutes later the sky falls out and I get drenched pulling parts for a truck.

So these idiots are always wrong…

So these idiots are always wrong about the weather, in my area anyways. I work outside everyday and I constantly watch these liars get it wrong, for example right now they are saying its 24 where I'm at, yet my thermometer in the shade is reading 28 and the one in the sun is at 32? They also said it would rain for 4 days in a row about a week ago, we had 2 hours of rain one of those days. They also constantly update the forecast and somehow still get it wrong. Standard low quality output, probably to help hide the obvious climate change we're experiencing by lowering the average yearly temperature to fix the numbers, so they can keep denying it's getting warmer, maybe. Anyone else noticing the same?

So disappointing

They are not reporting weather for the entire country. They are so focused on the deep south it speaks loudly. I thinks it's time for a change in staffing to find those who support the Entire Country. Jim you know what you are in need of someone to help you with your wardrobe. You mental state has turned towards your attire not the weather. Stephanie well just disappointing I use to turn to you for weather updates now well it's just a show! So so disappointing! Look at the reviews and ratings where are the leaders of this channel!!

Weather channel says 3 days of rain…

Weather channel says 3 days of rain high percentage. So i spread lawns with bug control and weed control. Barely any rain when all day rain saturday was predicted with heavy downpours etc. Most of day sunday and monday rain. Now says none. Now my dog is trapped inside until rain can wash the chemicals into the ground. This was just continuance of them using wrong models, knowing theyre using wrong models just like the news lies. They lie by knowingly using corrupt weather models.

Ads covering the screen, stopped using website and will remove from samsung phone

Can you get rid of the ridiculously annoying ads on the website that cover the screen. All i want to do is look at the weather. Its funny, because of the ad covering the screen ive stopped using this website and others probably have too, youd make more money by having 3 or 4 ads that dont cover the screen and people would actually still use the website! You cant make ad money if you make everyone use another website or adblockers

Well…now reading the many, comments, and watching the clowns, at the weather channel, on TV etc for years, it's my personal opinion, that it should be a straight commission occupation....period!
