Comments on Global News SkyTracker Weather for Android
★★★★☆Melvin Demchuk· May 15, 2026
I preferred previous version better. On the Radar map it did give a prediction or estimate for storm movements that I would always use. Now all you can see is the past to present. I found that the predicated hourly values were at most times not the same as what the Radar map would show or forecast. The app as a whole is fairly easy and informative but the change to the Radar map needs to be better.

Dec 4, 2024 Today is a prime example of an omission, I'm complaining about. Winds reaching 51 km/hr, then NOTHING reported for 14 hrs to follow. There is a weather advisory, thank you. PLEASE include the km/hr, hourly, as plans can be made or broken, and lives can be lost (or changed forever), in a case like this of" not knowing".🙏🙏

It's by far the most accurate for Edmonton and area. Probably because they are local. I rely on global sky tracker because I work outside.

We had to start using a different weather device and found those vintage glass thermometers with the red fluid to be more accurate than the weather station used 30 kms away. So we uninstalled this sky tracker weather app. Sure we only get the temperature, but we can see whether it is raining or snowing out right away, even the winds ever-changing direction as well. Even the weather network 2000 kms away in the USA seems to be wrong too.

The worst apps for weather in Ontario. Even right now, the hourly weather is giving 1 information. The radar is showing a super storm and the 24h radar has nothing in it... All 3 options are giving random information. Completely mediocre
