WPXI Severe Weather Team 11 Reviews

Of all of the local news/weather apps I have used (in various cities) WPXI is the best. While many news stations have bloated, bug-ridden apps, this one is straightforward, stable, and reliable. Pittsburgh’s weather can be fast-changing and unpredictable, so having a high quality way of keeping track can be indispensable.

I’m a Veteran and a retired computer engineer with 40 years experience working for four different computer companies before retiring from HP.
So I obviously appreciate quality.
Pat yourselves on the back for job well done. Way too much garbage software out there.
Best Regards, Stan

I have an electrical contracting business and I have to work outside often. I depend on WPXI ‘s weather forecasting to help me pick the best days to do my outside electrical work. I only use WPXI’s weather forecasting because I have found them to be very re liable and very accurate.

The old large weekly format was MUCH better. You could tap WPXISevereWeatherTeam11 and view the week at a glance and NOT HAVE TO SCROLL THRU to find the tiny print that is hard to read for us older users. GO BACK to WPXISevereWeatherTeam11 format that worked. Whoever thought this was better, must not use it very often.
SIMPLICITY is the key.

Easy to navigate and extremely accurate, without having to sort thru tons of ads and other garbage. All at no cost!! I only wish I’d found it years ago.

Use to be my favorite weather App. Have no idea why they felt it needed changed. Have to open and close several times to get it to work. Use to have a great look now looks like every other weather app.

I have an old app on another phone and a new one on this one. I’m a delivery driver so I keep up on the weather.... I keep the old phone in my car but even tho it’s an old app the radar on it is sooooo accurate EVERTONE asks to see it... 👍

I enjoy the up to hour forecast. No matter what the location, I’m aware of the accuracy of the forecast. Love the emergency alerts on inclement conditions that pertain to me. Wherever I go. Thanks again to the entire team for thier professionalism. Sincerely, Ronald Novotnak

I love WPXISevereWeatherTeam11. Yes, a few things have changed but I think it’s better. I really like the radar and the hourly forecast. I haven’t seen anything wrong in WPXISevereWeatherTeam11 but the ads. Most of the apps nowadays, have ads. Thanks for continuing to improve my weather app!

I use WPXISevereWeatherTeam11 daily for my animals and going out I plan my week with it Being a retired person i can stay home if the weather is bad Thank you

Love this site ! It has a little bit of everything ,except the parts that tell me it’s going to be sunny and 70 all week! LOL

Have a great day

It’s nice to know when an announcement is made in advance of inclement weather!

WPXI is probably one of the worst forecasters of the weather in Pittsburgh they often can’t get it right when it is happening. I look often to see what tomorrow or next weeks outlook is. It rarely match’s what actually happens. You can’t even get accurate temperature readings from their sight.

I’ve had a few from accu weather to The Weather Channel and this is by far the best. Show you everything you need to know and then some. Thanks.

Weather forecast appear to always be uncertain! Never seems to be definite!
Basically ANYONE can say we “COULD” get this and that weather! Be CERTAIN with your forecast. Present the forecast with CERTAINTY!!!
We are adults and REALIZE it is a FORECAST. I left WTAE when Stephen Cropper did and followed him to WPXI. I have had to look to WTAE for clarification lately.
***SIDE NOTE***
WPXI’s “hourly” forecast on the internet has been malfunctioning for MONTHS!

I am a weather watcher and I really like the radar feature on WPXISevereWeatherTeam11

The radar used to be so easy to see and the tools self-explanatory. The new app radar is cumbersome and I still can’t figure out some of the tools. We live above I80 so would add/subtract a few degrees to the forecast and just use the radar. I wish they would have just kept it simple! 😫 Deleting this one and trying another.

A projected monthly forecast feature would be helpful for predicting the weather beyond 7 day forecast

Love the format.

Listing to repeated information for over an hour is excessive. People are not stupid, we get it

Completely love WPXISevereWeatherTeam11. Especially the feature of past and future radar for rain and storms. You have the ability to even slide the radar loop to see specific times. Also if you have it set up right the phone does a little vibrate when it hits current time. Love it remembers you areas of choice and the lighting feature. Plus you don’t have to download the entire station app to get the weather app. Unlike other local stations who discounted their weather app and must download the full news app to see the weather. Thank you Channel 11 for keeping the weather app separately. I now use your app for all our tracking of weather on all our smartphones & tablets l, and uninstalled another networks app that requires news app to get to weather. I am very grateful for you keeping the weather app separately. You gained our trust and we now count of WPXI for our weather needs. 👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌝

Since the update, WPXISevereWeatherTeam11 only shows the homepage photo of the anchors. There is no menu, there are no icons, I have swiped and tapped and done everything but all I see is a photo. This is not useful. Am I missing something?

I can’t find this information anymore. Has it been removed? If so, I’ll just delete it. It was the one thing I had it on my phone for.

Major bugs need worked out. The old version was fine, now it doesn’t even work. I’ll probably just delete app :(

I don’t like the changes made. Not user friendly. Please go back to the old format where need to know info was available at first glance.

Not a bad app. Works smoothly with no crashes. But it is missing two key things. First, videos need to be "stamped" with a date and title. I've no idea if the video is current or three days old. And in fact this Monday morning I figured out at the end at the video was from Saturday.

The other thing is a "text" forecast. If I want to know what the weather is going to be like today, I want to read a paragraph that describes it. Seeing the stats of a snow cloud, the dew point, and the humidity doesn't help me to determine how tall my boots should be. Give me a sentence or two describing what the day will be like.

Fix those two things and you've got yourself a four- or five-star app.

Stephanie Allison is the right balance of strong delivery, attractive appearance and intelligent presentation.

Neatly designed app with features such as social media, photos, radar, forecast, and live viewing at certain news hours. WPXISevereWeatherTeam11 could use more features to set itself apart from others such as average and record high / low temps. The only real bummer with WPXISevereWeatherTeam11 is an unadvertised in-app purchase for $4.99 to enable the NWS safety alerts! If not for that, I would give it a higher rating.

Video only available when weekday tv newscast is broadcast. Would be nice if the latest one is always available to view, even if they are only updated on the broadcast schedule.

I am running ios 7.1 on my iPhone 4 and the iPhone completely freezes up when I use WPXISevereWeatherTeam11. This is not the first time that this has happened.

After trying everything else I needed to do a hard reset to get back to the home screen.

I decided that enough is enough and I deleted WPXISevereWeatherTeam11 from my iPhone 4 a few minutes ago.

Didn’t care for the changes in the latest update. The old interface was far simpler and I could quickly see the weekly forecast and expand to see the hourly. Now I have to scroll and flip through tabs to get to what I want to see.
