★★★★★ Dana Johnson · Jan 5, 2026

You can always rely on WLBT for accurate news in your area.

★★★★★ Michael Burris · May 19, 2025

It's a good app and since I am living in the TV coverage area in Southwest Mississippi I can see what's happening with the weather here

★★★★★ Sandy Rodriguez · Dec 4, 2025

Always get accurate weather reports and alerts in bad weather. Really like Dave Roberts.

★☆☆☆☆ Janet Martin · Apr 15, 2026

When you put off painting because they said rain and turns out they failed to update the daily, yeah.

★☆☆☆☆ Shere S · May 9, 2026

This app is the most inaccurate one yet. Radar is always wrong!! When you travel a lot by car, an inaccurate radar is NO GOOD! AccuWeather app is the way to go!

★☆☆☆☆ judy rutland · Jan 9, 2026

Whoever is responsible for messing up the WLT weather app needs to be fired!!! If it's not broken don't break it 😭. It's broken I can't customize the map like it was before!! Fix it back pleases. Doesn't show tornado warnings or flood warning just watches. I want my reliable weather app back.

★★☆☆☆ Jim “KindredmSpirit” Overstreet · May 9, 2026

PLEASE FIX THE APP. For the past few months since an upgrade, when you slide the bar to see what time rain, storms will be on radar in my area, the time is barely visible and only flashes for a sec. The app was much better before you fixed what wasn't broken.
