Best local channel. We love Mike and Jamie and all the crew. FYI my MIL loved every dress Jamie wore and thought she was amazingly beautiful. She passed in January.

This app always works great for me! It's accurate with showing my exact location and the live radar is accurate for me when showing when and where weather is coming.
★★★★★Katharine Harrington· Dec 30, 2025
WTOC is always reliable for accurate weather forecasts. If you live in a hurricane-prone area, you need a weather app you can trust.

App keeps crashing. Everytime I open the app I have about 20 seconds to see what I want to see and then it's freezes and crashes.
★★☆☆☆Layne Lenning· Mar 4, 2026
For over a decade, this has been an awesome weather app for me. It was always my first "Go To" choice of installed weather apps for accuracy and for providing any weather information I wanted right at my fingertips. I could set the location to anywhere and get the same great tailored information I needed. It had GREAT RADAR support showing tailorable information for storm cells. WHY WHY WHY would you intentionally ruin it?! What a shame and disappointment!
★☆☆☆☆Paula· Jun 16, 2026
I used to love WTOC and this app, but the radar feed is terrible now and no longer accurate.
★☆☆☆☆Tracy Hulett· Sep 1, 2025
Something is going wrong with this App. Whenever you click on to it to check the weather, it will go onto it, but immediately jumps off. COULD YOU FIX THIS PLEASE.... TIA
★★☆☆☆A Google user· Oct 13, 2025
The radar is not accurate. A few days ago it did not show any rain in my area, but we were getting heavy rain. That rain shower lasted about 45 minutes. That has happened on several occasions.
