WFTV Channel 9 Weather Reviews

by Trader Gator

Doesn’t seem the new version of WFTVChannel9Weather was tested enough. Today getting message it can’t connect to my WiFi but all other apps including App Store sure can. I’m going to delete it and download again but new app is not nearly as nice as old one so will be looking for a better one.
UPDATE- delete and reinstall worked for awhile but app is unusable again today. Deleting for good. Terrible.

WFTVChannel9Weather use to be very good and bang on with its alerts but I downloaded the new updated version and the storms that we have had don’t seem to show up at that time of event. ? Maybe have another look at WFTVChannel9Weather and try to fix it. Please iv always followed you guys as trust you.

Everytime I hit live news now it’s showing me 3-4 day old news never did this before we don’t need past weather we need updated weather

WFTVChannel9Weather is user-friendly but at times doesn’t make any sense on what you see on the radar. In other words what you see on the radar is not what’s really happening.

Not sure if I missed when WFTVChannel9Weather wasn’t so great? I’ve never experienced any issues with WFTVChannel9Weather as other reviewers have stated. It always notifies me if rain is coming to my location, or if lightning was detected. The radar works well enough to where I don’t need a separate app, it’s just not as detailed as said apps. Maybe that’s an area they can work on. But I love having WFTVChannel9Weather! It’s very convenient.

I am so grateful that Brian is back... Jamie and Nancy are fantastic but we were all missing Brian. I feel like they are my family. I teach school and watching the team each morning gives me a great attitude that I take right into my first grade classroom. Thank you to the entire team... l love everything y’all stand for....

Tom Terry, Brian Shields, and all the rest of the channel 9 weather team are excellent! We never watch anyone else! They’re accurate and a pleasure to watch. Thank you!

Very happy with this site. I can go to my local city and find out exactly what the temperature is, wind, rain and very happy. Keep up the good work guys and gals!

There is just something about Tom Terry when he speaks makes you feel good about what he says.

I trust them all to give me the most current information!

We always watch you have the best people in your office and field thanks for asking. I never learned to type

Not sure about the negative reviews. I live in central Florida and I’m outdoors a lot. I rely on the lighting and rain alerts. On iOS, WFTVChannel9Weather has never disappointed. Keep up the great work.
A widget would be great by the way!

It’s very accurate on the spot with the news and always notifying on time for bad weather I’m very grateful And congratulations for a good job you do daily.

Highly accurate reports for lightening and heavy rains to my position. Excellent radar depiction of where the weather system is as it progresses through my community. Highly recommend this WFTV weather app.

by Cra Games

Trusted more than any other channels. During the time frame that DISH satellite/Apollo Group had us blacked out I learned quickly that no one was better, more trustworthy than Tom Terry/Brian Shields. Love them and the morning crew #teamnosleep ❤️💙🧡💚

Simple straight forward easy to use and easy to see all aspects of current and future weather. I check the weather all around the United States. I love WFTVChannel9Weather. Ed Prouty The Villages, FL

Ever since Tom called the hurricane Charlie path, which he was the first to call the correct path.., I have never watched another weather channel. Keep up the most reliable weather channel on TV!!!

by HBL1984

We are on a road trip and it is able to follow us! We received an alert by your weather news app that there is heavy rain and severe thunderstorms in our area. Thank you for supporting and protecting us wherever we go! Best app, by far!🙌🏻☀️🌤🌦⛈🙌🏻

Does not work. Can be pouring & it shows nothing near me on radar. Or it will show alerts when nothing is happening

by Lissa915

I had the old version and it worked great, but ever since they did the update, it doesn’t work. It stays on the opening page- the picture of Tom Terry. I’ll change my review once it works again.

by Jack Magnet

The radar does not work it’s poring rain outside right now and the radar shows nothing in my area. And I agree with BUGS every time I turn on it tells me can’t connect turn on my wifi on turn off airplane mode. Bring back the old version.

The old App was better it work everywhere this new app doesn’t work out side

by Dyeager

Like the other apps from WFTV, they used to be of value. Then they started embedding ads everywhere. App loading is ridiculously slow due to all the ads. Try selecting an action in WFTVChannel9Weather and it loads even more ads, almost like reading a Sunday paper advertisement flyer. Easier, faster and more accurate to use the national weather service, the national hurricane center and a weather radio. Those folks realize disseminating information is more important than generating revenue; WFTV only cares about profits.

Not compatible with my iPad. Now what do I do. I have direct tv & every time it rains I loose the tv, so I rely on my iPad especially now that hurricane season is coming.

The hourly and daily forecasts plus the radar disappear often. I have to reinstall WFTVChannel9Weather . Needs bug fix.

by OTown1973

New update seems to work ok so far, but I am not liking the interface so much and seems cluttered now. Also what happened to the hourly forecast?!!! I used that as much as the radar and now it's gone. I will be using the weather channel app more than this due to them having hourly forecast and a more current radar. Yalls is 10 minutes behind real time.

Love channel 9 and the weather crew staff.
But WFTVChannel9Weather I don't like. Found it hard to navigate. The last straw for me was when I was checking it for the tropical depression Invest 99 heading our way. There was no update information. The video I watched was from Wednesday, today is Sunday.
If I was looking in error, that would account for the navigation confusion of WFTVChannel9Weather .
I have deleted it.

by JackieXJC

WFTVChannel9Weather has possibilities to be a good app but it needs some fixing. It freezes in the middle of the live stream, which it did not do in the past. One time I tried it and it would not go to the live stream during the time it should work. I had to go out and come back in for it to work. But, by the time you go out and come back in, weather is usually over. I am thinking of changing apps if it does not get fixed.

by Moonglow🌕

I’m from Louisiana and downloaded your app (the old app) years ago by mistake thinking it was channel 9 in Baton Rouge. I ended up liking it better than our own local weather apps. I used it literally every day, so naturally, I’d rather not have it changed. But I get it, advertisements mean money. They are just annoying because now I have pop ups to deal with. I had two of them take over while trying to figure out how to navigate the new app. I can’t give this a one star because of loyalty to the old app.... and I’m hoping I get used to this new one with time:)

by Daisy901

My app is in Spanish instead of English, and the help section is not working. Getting an error message.

by Jensen 1970

Let me be the first to say what a beautifully put together app this is....easy to navigate and the fact that you can watch live news is fantastic......I am sure Tom Terry had a hand in creating WFTVChannel9Weather.....I have been a Tom fan since Hurricane Charley!! So I am giving Tom Terry 5 stars too!!! Well done to Tom and the rest of the innovation team!!
