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.

★★★★★ Tina Lowell · Jun 18, 2026

The Weather Channel app is my go-to for updates on everything weather. I have always trusted this app and loved the information it provided. I believe it to be true and up-to-date.

Updated:10/6/'24, 6/4/'26 Uninstalled.| I had the app installed for years and even uploaded a short video of TS Debbie that got featured.| |🇺🇦 SLAVA UKRAINE! 🇺🇦| 'NUFF SAID 🖖😎||

★★★★★ Bethanie · Jul 1, 2026

I've been using the free version for years, and it's a part of our routine now. When they introduced the sports feature, I talked about it for days! The family spends a lot of time outdoors and getting insights into weather patterns and how that would affect our activity was a huge help and very entertaining when it was wrong lol. With the latest update, I can actually schedule activities right in the app, and it'll give a personalized forecast which is very nice.

★☆☆☆☆ David Lewis · Jun 18, 2026

The app has become useless. For the passed few months, it has flip-flopped on weather forecast so much that a person can't determine if it's going to rain or not until the happens. For example, on Friday the app would predict rain for the following Thursday. By Monday, it would remove the rain in Thursday's forecast then at the last minute, throw it back in. Max Velocity and Ryan Hall has been far more consistent and accurate than this app. And their operations are small compared to TWC.

★☆☆☆☆ Andrew Linton · Jun 18, 2026

How is it I can't remove the app from my phone, and it's not even installed from here and regardless, it's completely useless with ads taking up the screen and can't even manage the radar feature because it only partially shows on the screen. Weather is the second most important thing with a phone these days and a weather app for a phone can't even get that right.

★☆☆☆☆ Kaitlyn Watson · Apr 26, 2026

I used to use this app almost daily for weather but since the update I hate it. there are so many ads, and it's hard to navigate now.
