Comments on The Weather Channel - Radar for Android
★★★★☆Donald Taylor· Aug 27, 2026
The Weather Channel app is not always accurate. It is close enough to give us a somewhat educated idea of the weather events in our area
★★★★★Jeffrey Jordan· Jul 16, 2026
This app totally keeps you up to date on current weather conditions everywhere. That includes Canada Wildfire smoke!!
★★★★★Sue Carroll· Aug 13, 2026
The Weather Channel is my go to for planning everything. I live in the mountains, and I have to check the weather before I go anywhere as it is usually a long drive. Don't know what I'd do without the WC!
★★★★☆Judy Lai· Aug 13, 2026
I have been using the free version for years. My husband has the premium. My husband's extended forecast shows it will be 101 where he is at tomorrow. I am in another state, so I inputed my husband's location and show 91 tomorrow. Why is there a 10 degree difference for the same area?!
★☆☆☆☆matthew dickson· Aug 27, 2026
The adds are outrageous, but the radar used to be nice, and now it is terrible. It's so hard to distinguish locations with no county lines. For wanting people prepared and storm ready the weather Channel is lacking.
★☆☆☆☆Melissa Diller· Jul 30, 2026
I pay for premium and still get tons of ads. Just canceled it. I have had premium subscription for 2 years now and the constant having to sign in daily to get rid of ads is just ridiculous. Done using the app
★☆☆☆☆Aaron Ramirez· Aug 13, 2026
Its never accurate. Its says it won't rain, then it rains. It'll say there is 60 to 70 percent chance of rain and it doesn't rain
★★☆☆☆Joni· Aug 20, 2026
I love the weather channel. Unfortunately the app was causing my phone to overheat at times, and I noticed the widget would appear to be malfunctioning. After uninstalling and reinstalling it was the same thing, so I had to move on to another weather app.
