Comments on The Weather Channel - Radar for Android
★★★★★F M· Jul 1, 2026
Excellent coverage of weather conditions and how to prepare for them. Appreciate coverage from around the country.
★★★★☆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?!
★★★★★Julia & Levi Strause· Jul 16, 2026
I especially like extended daily forecast, that includes wind forecast, and 24 hours radar.
★★★★★Toms· Jul 30, 2026
At the moment most accurate weather monitoring app!
★★☆☆☆Deana Upson· Jul 16, 2026
After years of dependable use I'm very disappointed. Is there any hope that the widget issues will be resolved soon?
★☆☆☆☆Lily Collins· Jul 16, 2026
With this latest update, the radar map does not work, so many ads, It's just the weather. I don't need the news as well.
★★☆☆☆Rolande Janine Nadeau· Jul 30, 2026
This app has gone down hill. I subscribed in hopes of getting a very premium experience. That was not the case, and I am cancelling the Premium. Here is a dew items ive experience; first the radar could not zoom in, i no longer see the symbol that allows sharing any of the weather videos. It WAS a positive feature because I could share them at will. That's no longer an option. Radar is very slow and is often incorrect. It will show red and yellow overhead when there isn't a drop of rain. 👎👎👎
