Comments on WHAM WX for Android

★★★★★ Scott Winkler · Feb 23, 2022

So far I'm pleased with the app. Gives me accurate weather, I like the way their map works. Overall I would recommend it. Much better than channel 10 which has that annoying sound every time it goes on.

★★★★☆ Nancy · Oct 3, 2025

Why does the daily forecast most often not match the hourly forecast? For example: If it calls for rain, sometimes there is no rain shown in the hourly at all. If it calls for a high of 78°, the highest hourly forecast is 71°.

There are a bunch of us who are big into snowmobiling and boating. The radar 24-hour future map really comes in handy when planning a trip. The same goes for the hour by hour. You can really plan what you're doing the morning versus the afternoon if things are going to change either way. It's also nice to see the 10-day forecast when you're going on a trip to Florida or wherever. When leaving Tug Hill from snowmobiling the radar map really helps with avoiding strong snow bands when driving home.

I'm unfortunately uninstalling. I used to be able to use the "follow me" location, so I could check the weather, especially in the winters and traveling, so I knew how the roads were going to be, and it just loads and loads and loads. It doesn't ever go to the 'follow me' location part. I'm the type of person who can't deal with even 1 notification in my quick bar, however every time I dismiss a weather notification, ID GET HUNDREDS. *insert eye twitch* I did really like this app.

★★☆☆☆ Jordan Bartlett · Dec 16, 2021

Used to love this app and used it every day, but then it just went bad. Location services won't update my current location, so I'm not getting the forecast I need. Notifications for weather alerts pop up constantly even when I dismiss them. None of this used to be a problem before. I hope things get fixed, so I can use the app again!
