User Reviews for WGN-TV Chicago Weather
New map source deceases visual efficiency.
WGN9 weather app is by far my favorite. I access it multiple times a day to see the daily weather forecast and even hourly forecast when rain/storms/snow is moving into my area. The forecast is just as accurate for Lincoln, NE as for Chicago, IL. I’ve come to rely on and trust this app for weather. Unfortunately the app recently changed to a different map that is much darker in color for the satellite view and decreases the visual efficiency of the radar. I’ve switched to the other two map view options: Dark is a flat grey map (not too bad) and Light is a flat bright white map (eye piercing even when screen brightness is turn way down). During active weather events when I want to view radar, I find myself cumbersomely switching between map views and not liking any of them. Hopefully the app developers will work on the overall quality of the map in satellite view to be more like the previous map source version.
WGN 9 Weather app
Was working fine until you’re recent update. My iPhone 6S plus can no longer open the app. Will have to switch to another source. Please fix this issue. It is the best of all weather apps I have access to so I am now frustrated.With ur recent update, I have to turn off my 6S Plus & restart it to open ur app. Vert annoying!
Pop-up of Tom Skilling and someone else
I’ve used the WGN Weather app for quite some time now. It is the best app out of all those in the App Store. But since you added the pop-up picture of Tom Skilling and someone else, every time I use the app I get so disgusted with having to close a window that adds absolutely nothing to the app except irritation before I can get the information I wish. Please remove this feature. I find it totally useless as far as I am concerned. If it remains, I will find another source for my weather information.
Announcements
I used to love this app (5 star rating) Tom skilling would announce the alerts 🚨 straight to the phone. Unfortunately now it’s someone else (no disrespect) just not a fan that I turn notifications off bc of the voice. There should really be an option for announcers voices since they’re able to switch. I just don’t understand why they removed Tom. Tom Skilling is priceless to WGN like Harry Caray to Wrigley field. I’ll be switching to another weather app in the meantime.
My Favorite Weather App No Matter Where You Live
After spending all of my childhood and most of my adult life in the Chicago area, I moved to the east coast a few years ago. One of the first things I missed was WGN Weather, which has always been exemplary. I was so happy to find this app, which is ALWAYS the most accurate for my weather in the Philadelphia area. Sadly, there is no one even close to Tom Skilling and his team elsewhere in the country. They don’t get that a weather report is NOT simply reading out the temperatures on a map. The WGN Weather Team actually EXPLAINS it to you. Kudos to WGN, Tom Skilling, and the entire WGN weather team for doing the best weather in the country! Of course this app will not explain it to you the way the professionals at WGN Weather do it on WGN TV, but at this app will give you the most accurate weather available anywhere. Full Stop.
Having problems
I love WGN when I was little ( and I woke up early ) I would watch you guys before school and I loved it but the app is having some problems I’ve tried to send videos and I got emails that are saying undelivered and I don’t know what it is it’s coming from Microsoft I think it’s a scam but I’m not sure one more negative thing the app has been wrong lately but nobody’s perfect but the app is solid and I think it’s great!
What happened?
Born and raised in Chicago, WGN has been my go to for accurate weather forecasting, thanks to Tom Skilling, in my opinion. I moved to Florida 5 years ago and was happy to discover the WGN weather app. I still enjoy checking the weather in Chicago and other areas of the country where I have family and friends. The app worked beautifully until recently. Now when I tap the app, nothing!! I have to delete app and add it again, only to have the same thing happen! I’m fairly surprised that this is going unfixed. I have always had iPhones and have never had difficulty until lately. I hope somehow the bugs get worked out and the app is restored to its past excellence.
Please stop shrinking text!
I’ve had this app for a couple of years, and with the last couple of updates, the text keeps getting smaller and smaller - and the app doesn’t offer a setting to change that. It’s getting ridiculous and frustrating. Please either enlarge the text again or include the option in the settings so that someone doesn’t have to get a magnifying glass out to get the weather!!Otherwise, I still think it’s a great app.
Ruined by June 2019 update
This was my go-to app, but the recent update changed my mind. It’s harder to read and navigate. The severe weather alert colors have changed; severe thunderstorms used to be yellow and tornadoes used to be red. We are under a severe thunderstorm watch right now but the alert is red, which startled me because I mistook it for a tornado watch! There is a pretty big difference between the two! On top of that, the alert colors are so bright that I cannot see the actual radar underneath, and I haven’t found a way to make them more transparent. I know developers rarely revert back to older versions of an app after an update but why’d you change what wasn’t broken?
Helpful & Reliable
I have used this app for a few years to help with business travel planning. Very accurate and I love the pinpoint option. I add a new location so I can pack/plan the trip. BUT, I had too many locations that I could NOT delete! I followed the directions, but there was NO delete option. I had to remove the entire app and start again.
