WKYC Weather Reviews

Granted, I’ve only had WKYCWeather for a short time but I don’t understand the low ratings. So far, I really like it! At the very first screen it gives me all of the info that I want to know. Wind speed, temp, live radar etc.. Most weather apps make you scroll through different screens to get all of that info. If you want to look at your current weather more in depth, that is also available. Ignore the bad stars and give this one a try!

Update: As a last resort, tried deleting and reinstalling WKYCWeather . This finally allowed WKYCWeather to run without crashing, but I lost all of my saved locations in the process. Cleaner look with better control over map appearance and overlays is nice improvement.

Same issue as reported weeks ago by others. Splash screen displays then app disappears. (Wish I read the reviews before updating). App appears to be still running in background, but if I try to foreground it, it displays the splash screen for a few seconds and disappears again. Why is this fatal error not fixed yet?

Love everything EXCEPT the radar transition from present to future which is always inaccurate. For example, the major storm that DID go through the Cleveland area today (Nov 15th) about 5pm was shown roaring thru Toledo / Sandusky... but disappearing completely before hitting the Akron area.

I’m not sure who they’re trying to appeal to, but it’s certainly not the segment of viewers who want, and need, the news and weather that are delivered professionally without focusing on their TV “personalties”. It is substandard by every measure. Take a hard look at other markets in other cities and glean the professionalism there. Please, you owe it to the Cleveland Viewers.

As for you App performance, it doesn’t perfom well at all, and hadn't for years! Fire your developer and get it on track. You needn’t look too far to find a Cleveland weather app that works well.

My favorite app, WKYC weather, doesn’t work any more. I loved it when traveling and while at home. Tried to reinstall and read reviews that an upgrade has wiped out the effectiveness of WKYCWeather. I can’t turn it on any more. Do I have to go to another Cleveland channel’s app? Please restore old app!

This has been my go-to weather app for years, and I have recommended it to many others. Thanks for an app that shows the weather without having ads placed over top and dividing the screen. I have to say though, I do miss the 4 seasons graphic that used to show when WKYCWeather was opened. ☹️

WKYCWeather is the best weather app. Quick loading and lots of data. I use it every day.

I have had the same problems listed by others - WKYCWeather locks up upon opening and won’t load. I recently installed an ad blocker and tried suspending it, which allowed WKYCWeather to work normally. Problem solved.

Does a regular person test your updates? How can one possibly see rain or snow tracks through the purple or red areas of the weather advisories ? Blue is the color for snow. You programmed lavender to represent the advisory area. I cannot see the progression of snow in blue through the lavender area. I cannot believe this is the first time someone has brought this to your attention. If no one has, you cannot state that “we haven’t heard of this problem before”

I updated the apps on my phone, and thought the WKYC weather app was removed. The new icon doesn’t make sense. A big 3 in a circle? How is that relatable to weather?

I use WKYCWeather on all of my devices and like it. I like the ability to change the layers and radar.

Very helpful. Great warning alerts. Have been very helpful when we were out of town on vacation.

The loading time seems improved with the latest update, but a generic number 3 in a circle is an odd icon. The old icon was clearly identifiable with the local channel 3’s branding and the word “weather.”

I utilize the radar not only for the local area but nationwide also

Nothing bad to say about WKYCWeather. Plenty of info all the time. My go to weather app.

I do not like the latest update to WKYCWeather, the lines on the storm tracks are now so thin, they blend in with other things on the map. I have to blow up the area of the storm so much, I can’t get a good summary of what is headed where. What was wrong with the old storm track overlay? Nothing! Recode this.

Usually great app. Only complaint is when the BLOG doesn’t work. I enjoy it for short news blurbs.

Cannot track storms with such a dark map background.

WKYCWeather is convenient and easy to use. On my deviceThis app is convenient and easy to use it loads rather slowly
WKYCWeather

Like it, but it could be much better.
*Please add the wind direction feature on the map as continued moving arrows. This is important in Lake Effect snow events.
*Please add dark color map style.
*Lightning feature is useless most of the time.

I like WKYCWeather pretty well but it needs bug fixing because it keeps freezing and it takes a little bit of time to load

I loved WKYCWeather previously but in the last few days it keeps getting stuck at the opening screen. ThennI need to close phone down. Reinstalling so we will see. WKYCWeather has been super reliable for years. I was one of the first to download it. But lately not so great. Also the icon is just stupid. While it’s the new logo I hate it. I don’t even watch Channel 3 much since the revamp and now watch Channel 5. The new format for the news is just toooo........ reminds me of the gimmicky Channel 19 news. Someone sold you guys down the river.
UPDATE: Two weeks later and after reinstall it’s still crashing. So sad as this was my fav app. Now I am installing another stations app.

The radar video is great. That's the only redeeming quality. The forecast and hourly forecast is rarely updated. You really only notice when the weather takes a turn from the expected. It keeps displaying the original forecast, which is useless.

Upgraded and now WKYCWeather will never open It was my go to for weather but need to find something else now because it never works.

Great new map experience. A black screen with a dot and no map whatsoever. I’ve used WKYCWeather for years, I guess we’re done and install one from another local station. iPhone X ios12

I used to absolutely love WKYCWeather, until the last update. Now it’s terrible! The graphics are awful. It crashes. The forecasts are off. Please undo the update!

This is my favorite weather app too, getting stuck on home screen. Hope your fixing it, I’m lost without it!!!

For years I used WKYCWeather. Now the map is awful. There aren’t any indicators on the map. No street names or cities. Time to move on.
