The weather reports are accurate and up-to-date. I always use the app whether I am home and especially when I am going out of town. It helps me decide what to pack and what to expect when I arrive at my destination.

Way too ads while watching videos. You've ruined a good thing.

How is this better? Where did everything go?? I loved this app... now I can't find anything!! I can't find any of the my points tabs to click on..where is hurricane central? Please change back to old app. The old one was great! Very easy to move around, now you just scroll down and you're done! Cause there isn't that much stuff anymore. ***update** as of 1-16-17 I am now able to get mPoints again!! Wish there were more features to collect though!

I like the app, there's just a glitch. When I go to "Daily", tap on the current day, and scroll down, the app will snap me back up to the current day. After doing it the first time, it won't do it again until I close and open the app again, but it's quite annoying. It's not my phone, because I had this issue on my last one, and now my new one. So if you could fix that, it'd be appreciated

Jason Konley

Update ruined it Used to really like this app. Was easy to use and widget was nice. New version is difficult to navigate, has ads plastered everywhere and the widgets are now just "nice looking" but without any info beyond the current temp. Found a better replacement weather app, so uninstalled this. Update, the app is better now, but still tons of ads. I'd be happy to pay for an ad free version, but not offered yet.

Hi Kimberly, thanks for your feedback! We're glad you were able to find your mPoints. As for Hurricane Central, we plan on bringing that feature back when the season comes.

Thanks Jason for your feedback. We are planning on updating our widgets in a near future release. Stay tuned!

Michael Carroll January 18, 2017

There are way too many ADS in this app in my opinion but provides all the weather information I need. I would prefer the new android UX/UI. I would also be willing to pay a subscription fee for no ads in this app either yearly or monthly to remove them, please look into that option here in the Play Store as you may not be aware of it Weather Channel.

Mark Herring January 24, 2017

This app has great features but I travel a lot and wish that I didn't have to enter a location (ie: home) to get any kind of alerts for a particular area when I'm actually traveling states away. It makes no sense. Should I enter new credentials in every town I stop in? Why not give us any alert based on location without the confusion and fuss... Like the app did a few years ago. I have to uninstall for something more integrated.

Rtpalfour per January 31, 2017

Last couple of weeks it is hanging up and not opening on my note 3. UPDATE: not hanging up. ..good. But I really don't like that the temperature does not automatically update until 1 hour has passed. Are you kidding me? To get an update, I have to force stop the application and then reopen it. Please fix. Update 1/31/17: Sometimes still not updating for 2 hours! Refreshing fails. Yet website on computer has current temperature.

Yesenia Boom January 21, 2017

It's OK....I'm not sure why Everytime I get the app, it always seems to disappear from the notification tab and never come back. It's the reason I stopped using it in the first place. I liked glancing at my phone and seeing the temperature right on my screen as I work outdoors. I recently gave the app another chance and the temp was there for about a week and now no matter what I do, I can't get it back up there.

Ks Y January 24, 2017

I love weather Chanel , always check it in the morning as a part of my morning routine and I actually really like the app, that is when it actually works!! It has been crashing CONSTANTLY in the past 4 months or so! My husband even uninstalled it completely and found a different app altogether, but I keep giving this one a chance because I love the breakdown and especially the videos... Can you please fix your app???!??

Vinicius Thedim February 2, 2017

Support is unresponsive, fake, just automatic responses. It consumes to much data on background, must be restricted .Suggestions: It could use a compass icon pointing for wind directions instead of mnemonic reference. Regular users sometimes doesn't remember this college information. At least it could be a preference to be chosen by user. Wind alerts could be configured by user. I miss this information since wind alert is triggered only on hi speed wind. Two less star for not responding emails. I sent 4 emails and only received automatic responses

danny harbour February 1, 2017

Not only can't I access my m-points but now when watching videos there's a damn ad before every video! This app has really gone downhill in the last few months. First was the drastic reductions in the m-points given out on this app. Now I can't access my points at all it just keeps saying loading and now an ad before every video!!! I'm thinking about switching to Accu-Weather! The app sucks anymore!

Keith Sankey January 30, 2017

When are you going fix the link within the Android version of your app, so it does not hang up? Works on my Android phone, but not on my Galaxy Tab A tablet. mPlus points for achievements are not being recorded or issued when using the app. Have reported this to TWC and mPlus, but each keep passing the blame. Would raise my rating to 5 stars if you would get this fixed. I have lost points associated with 50-100 ahievements, which is a super ripoff.

Mike Briers January 25, 2017

I've been very satisfied with how accurate this app is and it is my preferred weather app. Downside is that it uses a ton of battery power. I've noticed that when I have the app turned on my phone goes from full charge to 15% within a few hours. Even with power saving enabled and the app notifications turned off this app uses enough battery power to drain my phone in a few hours. I don't know if there is a fix to this but if there is I would consider using it again.

The Weather Channel January 26, 2017

Hi Mike, sorry to hear your feedback. Would you mind letting us know which phone and OS you are using? I'll have our team look into it immediately.

Ken in MN January 15, 2017

They finally fixed mPlus Rewards... ...but it took almost six weeks, all while leaving their customers hanging. Zero respect for their customers! I wrote several times, as did many other users, but they never bothered to respond. This is unacceptable for such a major brand. And there are still way too many ads in the video sections, rendering them unwatchable.

January 21, 2017

Love the app, except for one thing - the daily weather alert in the notification bar. After a couple days I wanted to turn it off. Went in, slid the bar to Off, got pop-up confirm that notifications had been turned off. Next day, notified again. Went in, notify bar was back to yes. Did this about 10 days in a row. Finally had to completely uninstall and reinstall to get to to stop.

crystal perez January 17, 2017

Different features of this app or slowly starting to NOT WORK. It's very frustrating when I go to use this app like I have every day for all of its different uses and not being able to do the full functions. Been waiting for an update but nothing....... I can't log into my account anymore and mpoints don't work, ect...

Jason Sudbury January 16, 2017

Awesome!!!! The app is working great since the latest update!!! I like the new radar map features There's still a few issues that need to be addressed. The Follow Me weather feature can't find enough locations! The way you enter your birthday in the profile settings is ridiculous! Verizon SM-G935V

Diana W January 26, 2017

The one thing I REALLY dislike is the default blue on the widget on my home screen. Other than that, it is a great app/widget. I am going to go back to yahoo weather unless there is an option to not have the blue background on this widget soon. I don't like it covering my screen picture. Yahoo weather widget has a box to un check in settings to not show the default picture. This blue one is UGLY, covers my background picture and I want the option on the widget to not show the blue.

The Weather Channel January 27, 2017

Hi Diana, we are actually working on a new and improved widget in an upcoming future release. Stay tuned!

A Google User February 3, 2017

Real feel should be displayed in every widget. Forecast description is in english but I have Celsius set. Home Location must be set manually and I want it to be fixed of I set so. Notifications in notification bar is shown partially and once I click on it I can't read it the map with clouds opens instead. OK let it be but at least let me read it when I click on it and app opens. Where are the warnings then in the app?! Am I missing something?

Ryan Parrish February 3, 2017

Love the app design.. HATE ads.. a premium provider like this should by now have brought back an ad free version. I hate seeing stupid irrelevant ads.. I'm on the app for weather not shopping. I'll keep it because I like the WEATHER features...And please.. do away with that mypoints crap.. it's annoying too.

theresa meetze January 26, 2017

M points still will not load. Have Uninstalled and re installed. Still is useless. And uses a lot of phone battery finally able to load points but still achievements have gone down just like many other m points games they just keep getting worse

January 24, 2017

There are more ads than weather. Seriously. The videos are unwatchable too me. More commercial than content. I would just like to open an app and get an easy to find accurate forecast for my area. I can't even find it. Weather Underground is pretty good.

The Weather Channel January 25, 2017

We’re sorry to hear you don’t like the advertising on our properties. Working with advertisers allows us to provide the most reliable weather news and information at no charge to you. Our team does regularly review the amount and frequency of ads to ensure you continue to get that experience for free, so we'll pass your response to them for review.

JulieBean January 22, 2017

I want to really like this app, but I'm mostly only using it because the one that was on my phone before started acting up. This app doesn't like to update to my current location and I would like to add more places just to compare weather around the world but I can't find where to do that - not very user friendly.

alexa Janell February 2, 2017

It's a lot better than the weather channel on dish! I'm rather irritated because sometimes the app freezes. So then I have to restart my phone in order to get the darn app to work! I'm half tempted to find another weather app since I never had the problem w/ this one til I had to update it. So please fix it so I don't have to delete this one! This weather channel has got a lot of problema. Is still keeps freezing and occasionally it isn't opening up on my phone which is extremely irritating and rather annoying too!

Morgan Lowney February 1, 2017

The app WILL NOT let me even choose my location. It is absolutely useless to me if it won't even take me out the first page. I just wanted to use this widget but I guess I'll have to use something else.

The Weather Channel February 2, 2017

Hi Morgan, we are working to improve our locations and widget in a near future release. Stay tuned!

roanne vef January 22, 2017

I think this is my favorite weather app. I agree with other viewers though, to many ads. I pulled ad up so I can't see it and a small box with the ad pops up, I swipe it off the screen and that gets rid of it.🐯

Heath 2671 January 23, 2017

This app is okay at best. It at least is on point with the temperature. But if you're looking for real accuracy, I suggest something else. It is almost always wrong when it comes to snow and rain. I uninstalled it yesterday when it said it was a heavy snow shower outside. ... no snow. That was one in COUNTLESS times that and forecasting was wrong. I don't suggest this app.

Luis Lara February 1, 2017

Excellent app. The only thing I don't understand is why you guys need acces to photos, files, phone call, Contacts, etc? Are spying on the people?

Kodiak North January 21, 2017

Great app. I'm not much of a weather guy but I like being able to see days in advance. What's really killing me is that I have every notification option turned off and I'm still receiving them. To make things worse, there's no option to make notifications silent, so my phone buzzes every 15 minutes when another shower is about to start in Santa Cruz. The team should really get to fixing that because then this app would be fantastic.

Dave Uptain January 28, 2017

I dont depend on any 1 weather report. Iwatch 3 and average the reports and then decide whats going to happen. And thats not always right. I think out guessing mother natureis at best poor.

Cheryl Timmons January 26, 2017

Moving to another state, and I depend on you to report absolute accurate weather reports. You haven't let me down yet! Could not have moved as much as I have if I didn't have your report to depend on! Keep up the good work!

The Weather Channel January 26, 2017

Thanks Cheryl! Stay safe and have a great move!

January 26, 2017

This app has ALWAYS had visual problems. It's just UGLY and UNORGANIZED. Why do you have to put advertisements, videos to things I'm not interested in and JUNK in between EVERY section??? I want to see my current conditions, hourly and daily forecast and radar all together, not so spread out that I have to scroll through several pages. Your app SUCKS!!!!

Cearra Rose January 22, 2017

Can't stand the ads before every video. I just wanna watch the 30 second weather videos, not a bunch of ads. Prediction for weather sucks too. Only good thing is road conditions, temperature and government warnings.

Marcia Orr January 17, 2017

Preferred weather app Tried WeatherBug, AccuWeather's app. This is my favorite. Easy to add locations as I drove across the Rockies in Dec. Hourly and daily forecast good. Adds weather alert. Tells me when precipitation coming in. Easy interface.

Steven Kibort January 22, 2017

Update at 10:22am on 1/23 app says cloudy and windy in St Pete...its windy but clear beautiful blue skies not a cloud anywhere..were do they get this BS...Doing a lot of international travel would be nice to be able to display temperature in Fahrenheit and Celsius at the same time...often communicating with people that use one or the other and would be nice not have to both displaying to reference.

Ryan Shilts January 27, 2017

I'm switching to another weather app. I love watching the videos and they ruined it for me by having ads play before every single video and 9 out of 10 times it's the same one over and over. Used to be a great app and now it's just frustrating!

zabrina wilson January 17, 2017

Love this app for my weather and they have FINALLY fixed the mplus portal so I could finally collect all the points I had racked up. Thank You So much! :)

Carol Metzger January 24, 2017

Usually your radar and corresponding hourly weather readings are fairly accurate. However it's been pouring rain for the last 15 minutes or so and you're forecasting a 5% chance of rain!? Worse yet it's not even showing up on RADAR! 👎 Given the context of 3 back-to-back winter storms over the last week, you definitely have a glitch somewhere in your system. Fix it and you'll earn back my respect and 5 stars.

What's New
