Comments on WCYB StormTrack 5 for Android

★★★★★ Joseph Chastain · Jul 29, 2026

This is the best weather app it is always updated and very precise and even when it says something if the notice changes in the next 10 to 15 seconds they will notify you and tell you of the change

★★★★★ Steven Johnson · Sep 22, 2026

GREAT 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

★★★★★ Matthew Robb · Jul 18, 2026

I hate to do this but this app accuracy of weather is like putting a banna in a crossbow and trying to hit an apple at one mile away. One min there saying rain/ thunderstorms lookout blue sky full sun. Go back 5 min later showing over cast. Still full blu sky full sun. Then you look 20 min later says sunny. It's like the app is 30 min off of real weather.

★★★★★ Pegge Duke · Jun 14, 2026

Absolutely the best weather app. Recommend it to friends, and they all love it. Radar is incredibly accurate. And I have places worldwide on it.

★★★★★ celestialdolphin9 · Jul 20, 2026

I use WCYB Storm Track Weather Radar every day. I feel it's the most accurate available. I liked it better when radar could expand to full screen and features like earthquake and fire symbols could be used.

★★☆☆☆ 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.

★★☆☆☆ 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!!
