Local 3 Weather Reviews

I am removing from my phone. I need weather at a glance. You old app did that and did it well. I purposely didn’t update because my wife told me how bad it was. Well the old app no longer works and I updated only to be disappointed. I should be able to look at the radar, current temp, maybe a couple 3 day forecast and if I want hourly or seven day just click a button. Very disappointed that Local3Weather go worse.

It locks, the radar is inaccurate, the latest video from the last weather broadcast is gone, the radar speed is virtually unusable, and, maybe not related to Local3Weather , the forecast is useless for more than 1 day out!
I have to reboot it every time I open it. Why can’t you get a decent local radar view, with past, present, and future radar, and adjust the playback speed? And more importantly, ACCURATE! I also want to see, or a link to, the last broadcast weather report.
Paul didn’t say it would be like this!! I’m just sticking my head out the window now. Local3Weather is getting removed.

Don’t trust Local3Weather!! April 12, 2020. I received no alerts the night of the tornado in East Ridge. If my fiancée had not woken up on her own, we’d have both been asleep when that thing rolled through. I didn’t receive alerts from the Flash Flood Watches early in the evening, right up to the Tornado Warning. We checked every setting/notification/ alert box we could find and we found no reason our alerts shouldn’t have worked. I also have friends who said they use Local3Weather and we’re not receiving the audible notifications.

This up has been basically useless we have hay we cut spring and fall you can never follow Local3Weather and get an accurate weather report because it is constantly changing that does not give an accurate forecast we need something that will give you a forecast of what is happening for the next 3 to 5 days not changing every 3 to 5 hours get someone to do the forecast not relying on a computer to do it for you.

The old version, clunky as it was, was better than this. The latest forecast video is good, but even that isn't being updated timely (DAYS behind!). Terrible layout. Takes too long to open — should open directly to day's info. Except for radar, the rest is pretty worthless. Come on guys. You can do better. Check out WeatherBug app to see how it should be done!

I want the older radar back because I liked the bright yellow lightning strikes better than the lightning now, I also don’t like that the lightning starts fading out wants it gets older and older. Also I liked the old hail,wind,tornado, and strong cell icons better than the new ones, I think the yellow one shouldn’t be called rotation just strong wind, and the tornado one doesn’t need to be called strong rotation, it should still be called tornadic.

By “coverage you can count on,” they mean “coverage you can count on two hands how many times it changes a day.” It is also pretty inconvenient that bad weather slows Local3Weather down. May as well get an old fashion weather radio and be done with it.

Local3Weather is almost identical to the channel 9 app in look and function.

My channel 9 app became cluttered with ads that I could not move out of the way to see the weather content hidden beneath the ad banners so I chose this one.

The ads do not appear on the map box which was my biggest frustration. Local3Weather adds the most recent weather video so you can watch what David Kearns says. (In my opinion, Body language and Tone of voice add a lot of detail to the weather forecast.)

I like Local3Weather . Great radar! Only one thing I want to mention.

I can’t leave Local3Weather for any length of time - one second or one minute - without Local3Weather reloading the home screen, which always stays on the screen a frustratingly long time. I get it, you want us to see the Chattanooga Allergy Clinic ad, but come on... this is just tedious.

Other than that, I’m enjoying Local3Weather and it has quickly become my go-to for weather, especially for your radar. I like having the earlier/now/later all in one place.

Nearly everyday I count on your application so that I can prepare/plan what projects I can do around the farm. When you have outdoor activities to accomplish knowing what to expect is critical.

I appreciate most of my local news outlets, but WRCB is my go-to for television news. Their weather app reflects the high quality I see across all of the station’s productions and personnel.

Absolutely hate the new app. Videos do not play and the radar is horrible. Also, there is no daily written forecast anymore. I have to switch to your news forecast app to get the weather. Go back to the old app please!!!

WRCB, I love Local3Weather and the only suggestion I would have for the next update is to add to the storm tracker to where it will show cities in the path of the storms and timing for each city.

Easy, Quick and Local! Love Local3Weather ! It’s very simple to use and stays up to date with warnings and videos.

We are locals who have always depended on our weather information and forecast from channel 3! From Paul until now, hands down best ever!

I really enjoy the weather forecasters in Local3Weather and the recording in the morning, at noon and in the evening. It is my go to for the weather.

It is most interesting learning updates on things high above the atmosphere while prognosticating surface condtions. Other viewing choices don’t seem to offer that.
Highyeva, I do wish I could get best fishing times of the day reports.

I would like to see the radar progression slow down while watching systems move over the map. I realize I can stop but would like to see a slower video.

Everything is easy to navigate and understand!!!

Very good up to date with the weather and severe weather warnings would recommend to anyone that keeps up with the weather Channel 3 ROCKS

Go back to the old version. This set up is awful and the opening screen is not what people want when they open Local3Weather . Nobody wants to scroll way down to find what they looking for. The entire design is a failure. I will be looking for a new weather app!!!

The current temp does not match the hourly temp and neither match what’s said on channel three.

It also does not auto update in any way with real time without closing and reopening.

A complete and total waste of space and time, so much so it reflects very badly on WRCB.

Paul should be ashamed to have his face on this rubbish.

I trust WRCB weather, but unfortunately Local3Weather will not launch past the opening splash screen. Not good when have severe weather predicted for my area.

The old version was much better. Storm came through today and Local3Weather was worthless. It used to be my 1st choice for tracking severe weather paths. Please go back to the old version!

The new one takes to long to load up and even when it dose the radar dose not work. I have check and it is the latest version out still don’t work. I will be uninstalling Local3Weather.

Their app used to be my go-to, this new one is awful! It crashes all the time, after taking way too long to open. And whenever severe weather is in the area, it completely stops working. What’s the point of that? Uninstalled and won’t use again until a complete overhaul is done.

Crashes
Won’t open
Radar blank
Freezes on opening screen..

Common wrcb.
I don’t understand why an update means everything breaks.

The loading screen is as far as it will go before crashing. 6s+ Apple

The new design and layout is very visually sharp and appealing. But I really don't like that the radar is no longer the default upon opening. I have to go to the menu and find it. 9 times out of 10 I open Local3Weather its to see the radar. I liked the old version where the "currents" were visible along with the radar at the same time.
