Comments on WCYB StormTrack 5 for Android

★★★★★ Karen Crosta · Mar 18, 2026

I'm very impressed with the accuracy of this app. If it says light rain in 15 minutes, there is light rain in 15 minutes.

★★★★★ Janet Montgomery · May 28, 2026

I've been using this app a long time because it zeroes in on east Tennessee, and I'm in Western NC. It's pretty accurate, and I love watching the radar. I can tell when a storm is going to hit my little mountain.

★★★★☆ Christina Duncan · Feb 4, 2026

Great weather app! The radar is excellent. I edit my review because the update is not helpful. A part of the radar map is now hidden and the new features are not necessary.

★★★★★ Melanie B. · Mar 2, 2026

Love this app... daily forecast, radar, and hour by hour weather forecast. I get alerted of bad weather coming towards my home. Amazing weather app. You won't be disappointed.

★★★★★ Sonia Higgs · May 20, 2026

I love the accuracy of this radar. When I am questioning what's happening with the weather. I open this up, and it tells me exactly what is happening now, it even tells me what my future is.

★★☆☆☆ Carey Mueller · May 19, 2026

Very inaccurate. The forecast changes almost every hour or two on the app, and I find the radar very inaccurate most all the time.

★★☆☆☆ gofst2 · May 11, 2026

If I knew this is what the new update would have been like, I never would have allowed it to update! Full page radar map gone. Too much clutter (1/3 of the screen) taking up too much screen space at the bottom of the map. Having to create a custom map just to have some additional notifications like lightning and earthquakes you have to scroll through to use. Prime example of a software engineer thinking they're doing something great when they actually went backwards. Reverted to older version!!

★★☆☆☆ Jessica Ramsey · Apr 25, 2026

The app keeps turning on "precipitation" alert under Weather Notifications Types. I turn it off daily and save the changes, yet it keeps turning on that 1 alert. Frustrating! Fix this please. I couldn't care less about "precipitation nearby" alert.
