WFMY Radar Reviews

by Hurleyme1b

One reason for having the weather app is severe weather alerts/notifications. Earlier this evening, there was a tornado warning for my area and I had no clue! I checked settings in WFMYRadar, all notifications were turned on. Then, I checked the settings on my phone for WFMYRadar, every possible notification was turned on.
Thank goodness my son called to make sure that I was aware of the tornado warning!
There’s no point in keeping WFMYRadar if the notifications don’t work!!

Was a great app until it updated. Now I can't switch between my saved place to see what's going on where. It just stays on current location without any way of viewing any you have saved. Please fix this back so I don't have to delete and look for a different radar.
UPDATE:
Was a good app. Now requires you to have location services on all the time instead of just while using WFMYRadar . PLEASE FIX AND CHANGE IT BACK. Until then I no longer use WFMYRadar.

Won’t open. Just crashes.

WFMYRadar acts like a virus. It opens when you click on links in other apps.

I normally use WFMYRadar daily. They have changed WFMYRadar requiring me to always run my location instead of while only using WFMYRadar . This hasn't been a problem until recently. Will delete WFMYRadar for this reason.

This current update is one of worst. If looks as if some tech person is trying to keep their job so they had to make changes. I will be deleting WFMYRadar after using it for many years.

Loved WFMYRadar but after phone update it will no longer open on my iPhone 7. Will have to delete and go back to weather channel ;(

Good app except a lot of times it won’t load the current weather or it just crashes.

Your app seems fine once it opens. It takes so long for it to open. I have 4 devices and it is like that on all of them. It would be nice if you could work on how fast it opens up.

Found out yesterday, it used 33% of my battery time during the day for “background activities.” Didn’t realize I had to formally “close” it. I will from now on, and be super careful when and how I use it.

Works like a charm on my iPad Air most of the time ....but storm front radar tracking doesn’t load the storm front images from time to time, and I have to go to my back up weather apps.
Otherwise, this is my go app.

Running OS 13.3. WFMYRadar no longer opens! Waiting for update. Moving to WRAL in the interim. WFMYRadar is better... when it works.
Good news! Around January 6th, the update came through and we’re back in business!

Over the past 40 years of our business service to the Triad we have used WFMY throughout each winter to decide if we needed to heat our carpet cleaning vans to keep them from freezing. They have been impressively accurate. We also really enjoy the ease and flow of their weather app. Thank you News 2 for helping us keep our equipment from freezing… Not even once!

Excellent content!!! Best working weather app available. It works better than the Weather Channel app. Highly recommended to all!!!

by SCSilverado

I was skeptical, but I find that my skepticism was totally unfounded. The service is accurate and dependable. Frankly, I have zero negative issues to report.

Use it daily to determine weather changes and when to anticipate. Most reliable source.

by Whirliebuster

With the upgrade, no longer compatible with iPhone 5c. Was a great app, and my primary weather app until...

WFMYRadar was much better before the most recent update. With the advertising banner across the top and the new banner across the bottom the screen is so cluttered it's difficult to view the radar screen. The radar screen is the most vital part of WFMYRadar during weather emergencies. Please pay attention to this review and the reviews of others, which express similar thoughts. Hopefully WFMY will improve WFMYRadar or at least go back to the previuos version. For my family's safety, I will be using another weather app until WFMYRadar is improved.

What happened to former colorful app— now is very bland!?

by TarHeelRN

When it decides to work it's a great app, but for the past several weeks all it does is crash every time I open it. I've noticed this especially happens where there's a lot of graphics in the form of storms/rain on the radar. It's crashing so much lately that I'm considering deleting it, but I'm hoping they'll create an update to help. In all the months I've had WFMYRadar I can't recall a single update, so surely it's time for one.

I wish it would alert me of severe weather without me having to open it. The latest update alleges I can go into settings, notifications, but WFMYRadar is not listed there. Otherwise, this one is my fav weather app.
