User Reviews for WSB-TV Weather

Old version was much better

Your “upgrade” is much worse than the old version of this app. Like some of the other recent reviews, the app typically tells me that I don’t have a WiFi or internet connection. There’s actually two different messages. One I just hit ok, and one I hit retry. Of course, I always have wifi, a cell connection, or both, and I never have this problem with other apps. After getting past this, the app then very slowly loads. Once it loads, the temperature is on the home screen, but it won’t show the humidity there like the old app. I haven’t found humidity anywhere in the app. Of course, the video forecast auto plays, even though I don’t want to watch it. This video slows down the app and sometimes makes it impossible to scroll past the video to get to the hourly info below it. Then, almost half the time the app ends up crashing. I have no problems with video in other apps, just your new “upgraded” app. I don’t know what you were going for here, but it didn’t work. If you just wanted more ad space, then fix the connection problems, don’t have auto play on the video, and add humidity back as an option. Those problems aren’t related to ads. This used to be my go to weather app. I’m done with it until you fix the problems you created. It’s just not usable now. Having more ads doesn’t help if you have fewer people using your app.

Great local weather

After paying 10 bucks a month for weather channel app, this one is free and more accurate! Burns and his team are really good. Case in point, last night massive storms hit and this app said to expect bad weather all night and was dead on. The other app didn’t do anything. Only negative, wish the app had more features. I’d pay money for more advancement. Also, some times I get rain notifications that work and others that don’t. So more consistency with notifications and improvements. Best local weather app.

Not so great if you're using slow wifi (rural)

This app is likely 5 stars if you're fortunate enough to have higher internet speeds; unfortunately, if you're rural and your only choice is spotty 4G or gluttonous ATT DSL(ow), you'll never be able to view the apps radar feature. Seeing as how nearly half of Georgians are still in the predicament of being in the latter position, the app isn't all that for us. I personally use (out of state) weather app - WLOX- and add my location to view a radar that works with my Internet.

Best Weather App Ever

Currently have 5 weather apps on my phone. I did have more. We have homes in North Ga , southwest GA and Orlando. And we travel as well. Best of my ALL weather apps Particularly the Best is their outstanding Radar System. Since the app follows me, as requested. I always have current info in any state with few bothersome ads. Thank You WSB. PS their Traffic and News apps are awesome Too! Perfect Trifecta !Thanks! Granny Patti

Forecast

Don’t like all of the different videos at once. Please keep things showing current situation for quick read. Do like subsequent info, but immediate hi/low temps that day and forecast today and projected same for days ahead. Not big on the team roofing ad immediately. Add it after today info. Fox storm team also needs to cut to the chase. Thx

Thanks for listening; you brought back some of the best features.

Editing my below review of the 2019 redesign: You rearranged the home page so the video is no longer on top, and that’s good. Frequently I’m checking my weather app on the go and having all the info at first glance is important. I’d like a bit more information to be available on that top home block, especially relative humidity and maybe the days pollen count? You could add a touch link to see more on that top block so it shows what it does now with the additional info expandable so it wouldn’t take any more room. When I touch a day on the second section on the home screen I expect it go to that days hourly forecast if available, but instead I discover the whole row is only one link to all the days again, making the link kind of redundant.This has always been my favorite weather app, I check it a couple of times a day. Your redesign had completely changed it and had ruined a great app. It looked like a commercial instead of a useful app. Now you cleaned that up some, thanks!I don’t like the settings on the map, the video on the home page, or the trendy icons on the daily or hourly charts. The daily and hourly were easier to read at a quick glance before. I truly hope you revert the home page at least to the information that was there before and move the video off the home page. You seemed to take this advice and corrected part of it. I’ll get used to the trendy icons... thanks again for listening.

App still needs work.

This update is somewhat of an improvement. Still cannot comprehend why you all messed with a perfect app, unless it was for the additional ads. I still cannot find the pollen count. I had deleted the app. With the update, I downloaded it once again. I was hopeful that after all the bad reviews, someone decided to reset back to the prior version. No such luck. I will wait awhile and hope for the best. But as of now, this can still no longer be my “go-to” weather app...sad.I keep checking your app every week or so. Still disappointed in the changes. Video takes up too much space on the home page and the info on the right side of screen is hard to read at a glance. Never have found the pollen count. I used this app everywhere, not just for Atlanta. Sure miss the “old” version. It was hands-down the best weather app EVER!

Liked the old version better

My experience with the new iPhone app hadn’t been very good. I find the layout too small & congested for my phone. The previous layout was much more readable & I could see what I needed at a glance. Plus it seems to take forever to load if it loads at all. It likes to tell me I don’t have a network connection when in fact I do. Cellular & WiFi!The only fix for that is close the current session then try again. Or do what I’m starting to do now which is forget this app and fire up the Weather Channel app! Really, I expect better from WSB.

What the heck??!!

I’ve had this app for years and now all of a sudden I’m getting a message telling me that this app is not available in my area. I live in Bartow County and we are most definitely in the WSB viewing area. Your descriptions say that someone traveling to Savannah can get weather updates but I can’t even use the app at all?!? What’s going on? And when I go to “app support” the only means of contact is a telephone number that’s for the news room. It doesn’t even give an option for app support! Cox Media, please get this fixed ASAP. I’ve always depended on you guys for the most accurate weather and alerts. Hope I don’t get caught in a tornado in this “not available in your area” area 😠

Forced To "Upgrade" to Unreliable App

Updated July 10th: My concern is that it took you over a month to fix the problem with loading the radar. That's dangerous. Have you addressed the problem with false claims the device isn't connected to the Internet?The team has forced us to upgrade the app, but the reliability of radar has diminished. As noted by another user, the app often erroneously determines you don't have an Internet connection. This new series of updates has all the feels of unreliable software pushed by management and marketing. That isn't something that's reliable enough to use to protect you and your family.

Description

Chief Meteorologist Glenn Burns and Severe Weather Team 2 have made the most accurate local weather app, “The WSBTV Weather App,” even better. Atlanta’s most powerful weather app includes the following: - There is a new radar in the weather app that matches the radar found on other digital platforms and also includes future radar to provide you with a likely path and outlook of storms. The radar has 250 meter resolution, the highest available. - New alert types - We added earthquakes and storm tracks as layers in the radar.

Now you can track the location and magnitude of earthquakes as well for storms the speed, direction and type. Tap the “storm symbols” icon in the radar to see the list. - Push alerts are FREE for more than 25 alerts types including everything from tornado warnings to winter storm warnings and tropical storm alert types. - Now you can scroll through the home screen to access most of what you need or want on one tab. - Locally crafted forecasts - Select a location inside the Atlanta market to see a local forecast created by WSB’s local weather experts. The app also tells you which member of Severe Weather Team 2 crafted the local forecast. National applications that come pre-loaded on your phone don’t have local experts focused solely on getting the local forecast right every day. - Place a location pin precisely where you want it for a specific address or any position on a map. When saving a location you can name it exactly how you want it. - The app works with identical features on tablet and handset. The WSBTV Weather App also has these critical benefits and features: - The app is constantly updated with the latest area storm and forecast information and includes Severe Weather Team 2’s 5-day Forecast with the “Weekend Always in View.” - Live Stormtracker 2HD Radar zooms down to your neighborhood or zooms out to check radar anywhere in the country. - It provides Location-Based Storm Alerts. While many other apps offer alerts based on your county, The WSBTV Weather App supports a more precise type of alert issued for the most dangerous types of weather threats. More precision means you get alerts that matter to you, not false alarms. - Current conditions, hourly and daily forecasts for any location you enter. - Level 3 interactive radar, animation/loops and visible satellite map - Additional items added seasonally - High resolution satellite cloud imagery - Daily and Hourly forecasts updated hourly - Ability to add and save locations - A fully integrated GPS for current location awareness *Data and alerting available for the United States only.
