Comments on WCYB StormTrack 5 for Android

★★★★★ 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.

★★★★★ 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.

★☆☆☆☆ H moser64 · Apr 13, 2026

This app has got to be the most indecisive, worst weather app. How can they say they can accurately tell the weather forecast for ten days when they can't even do it for one day accurately??? Every day the forecast changes every thirty minutes. All their high-tech gadgets and radars, and they still can't get it? We go from no rain in the forecast until it starts raining, then they change it to 100% chance of rain. Arthritis does a better job at predicting the weather.

★★☆☆☆ colton franks · Mar 26, 2026

The previous version was far better in every way! Primarily the radar map and the overlays. They all need rolled back and left there. For example. The future radar map rolls so fast you can barely follow the times to expect precipitation to reach your area. If ya pause it to read the time stamp, it disappears. WHY?! 2 stars until usability of previous version restored, then will re-evaluate. Otherwise one of the better weather apps out there.

Trust & Safety: The app requests location permissions (coarse, fine, and background) and background services, plus internet access and notifications. It also includes ad-related identifiers and an internal dynamic receiver. This pattern is common for weather apps; users should review requested permissions and privacy prompts to understand data usage and opt-ins.
