WTHR Live Doppler 13 Weather Reviews

by Pizza Delivery Guy195

I’m a delivery driver in Bloomington. I used WTHRLiveDoppler13Weather for years. It was pretty accurate, I’m assuming because it used the radar at the small airport here, and didn’t have many ads or random banners to accidentally click on. I need to know what the weather is, I need the forecast, and I need it to be faster and less frustrating then just using google. I’m not sure when the change to this less accurate more ad intensive-(more frustrating) Version happened. But in my opinion if the experience isn’t better and easier to use then just googling the weather, then it’s not worth it to me personally. Skip this ad heavy app. It’s frustrating to deal with, way less accurate then it was a few years ago, and google is now the better option.

When I was looking at WTHRLiveDoppler13Weather it said clear and it was snowing outside how more wrong can you get. Something needs to change this is crazy when you can’t even get the weather right. Everyone is better off to just look outside like I did while I was looking at WTHRLiveDoppler13Weather to see what the weather is.

The radar never matches what is happening outside. Radar does not come close to The Weather Channel’s radar. Even while watching the live news weather report on WTHR, the radars don’t match. WTHRLiveDoppler13Weather always says it’s raining more than what it really is. I’ll be going back to the weather channel.

WTHRLiveDoppler13Weather does not update frequently enough to be helpful during significant weather conditions. Looking at a radar is not useful when there is no one to interpret the data. There is nothing like seeing a funnel cloud going to WTHRLiveDoppler13Weather for info just to watch a Forum commercial. I thought they would eventually realize WTHRLiveDoppler13Weather is terrible and get a new one, but it's been years, and they ask us to rely on WTHRLiveDoppler13Weather more than their reports.

I use WTHRLiveDoppler13Weather easily every day, but lately I have been getting bombarded with ads that do not allow me to close them out and I have to force quit WTHRLiveDoppler13Weather and restart it. I love the WTHR Weather weather team and want to continue to use WTHRLiveDoppler13Weather, please fix the ad issues!

Update: I no longer receive ads, but WTHRLiveDoppler13Weather itself crashes every time I use it. Specifically when I try to read the video forecast.

Used to be a really good app. Now the interactive radio is worthless. It showed NO precipitation ANYWHERE in the United States. That is one of the main reasons that you get a weather app. I don’t know what you did to make the intraday not work, but it is not worthy of any stars without the interactive radar.

Half the time it doesn’t work. Even after I turned the alerts off I still get notifications every single time there’s a cloud in the sky. Deleted it and went with something else.

You can’t see the current weather blog updates without fighting your way through a full screen ad. Probably will just stick with the Weather Channel

Used to love WTHRLiveDoppler13Weather. Now it’s sending me notifications that don’t apply to my location. Please fix!

Interactive map does not show future track. I have to go to WTHR news app to check. Why have interactive map that only shows what is happening now? Would like to know what is coming.

My finger touched the star by ‘tap to rate’ while scrolling the reviews and I haven’t figured out how undue. I’ll keep looking, but until then...

Update: downloaded WTHRLiveDoppler13Weather , looked at it for a few minutes and adjusted from one star two three because one star didn’t seem fair.

I love WTHRLiveDoppler13Weather and use it daily. Never had any issues until lately. For some reason, it will not tell me the current weather for my region. Very disappointing. If it can’t be fixed soon, I’ll be looking for a different app that will and deleting this one.

Like other reviewers, very disappointed in update. I used the traffic section to get around safely and checked the gas prices every time I needed to fill up. Looking for new app or apps to find this again. Bad call, channel 13.

After further fiddling with WTHRLiveDoppler13Weather , I found the traffic and gas buddy shunted into the Blog. I still think it deserved its own prominent icon on the menu but take back some of my mean words. I'd still go back to the previous version if it was available.

Very useful weather source for planning outdoor activities such as biking or walking. Always works well. Severe storm and weather info is great! Thank you for all the work you put into WTHRLiveDoppler13Weather!

WTHRLiveDoppler13Weather gets me the information I need; however, in a recent update they changed the way the 7-day forecast is displayed, and it’s not easy to interpret. Three columns which show (I assume) precipitation chance percentage, high temp, and low temp. But the columns have no headers, so you have to guess what they are.

Why did you remove the traffic portion?? I like the updated app but disappointed the traffic portion has been removed.

by Chas12

One of the best weather apps I've seen or used. Up to date info all the time.

Reliable, easy to use, and up to the minute

I use it everyday and love the text messages letting me know what to expect for the day and whether I need an umbrella or a warm jacket!

The only thing I would change is the radar map, so that it can be displayed in landscape instead of portrait. Other than that- this is a great set of tools that I use regularly to plan travel and keep my family safe.

Since the update a few days ago (10/20) it has stopped working. Now it won’t open. It just spins and spins.
