WHAM WX Reviews

On the whole, WHAMWX is decent. However, there is a persistent bug that has remained after numerous upgrades. There is no mechanism to leave feedback or bug reports in WHAMWX , forcing me to have to make the report here. On the dedicated radar pane, there are numerous options to customize your view. (Yay). You can pick out any combination of alerts, overlays, and such. On the alerts option, WHAMWX constantly defaults to them all being “on”, even if I tick them all off. I close WHAMWX and relaunch, and all the alerts are back. If I ticked them off at last usage, they should remain off so that I can just see the radar itself. Lastly, WHAMWX does not remain stable in the background. If you leave WHAMWX (or even just pull down the iOS notification pane) WHAMWX self-reboots from the beginning. That adds about 5 to 6 seconds of boot time for WHAMWX on my iphone 13.

WHAMWX looks great, but the info is not accurate. I’m not talking about wrong prediction, the weather is wrong within itself. For example, the “daily view” shows a high of 60, low of 40. If you expand that, it says a high near 68... ok. THEN if you go into “hourly” the temperature doesn’t get any where near 68 all day. Highest read is 58.

WHAMWX has become filled with commercial-filled crap videos and inaccurate weather forecasts and radar. What happened? Did the radar map break? Even current weather is inaccurate!

WHAMWX always opens sideways (like in iphone mode) on an ipad in landscape mode. Completely useless on an ipad. I can’t read sideways...

Best app ever I Love Weather!

The radar and 10 day forecasts in the new app are a great fix and addition, respectively. But the loss of the ability to watch a video clip of the most recent weather forecast is a major loss from WHAMWX overhaul. Now WHAMWX fails to provide anything different than what I already can get from a number of other weather apps (e.g., TWC's app) that add the ability to get national weather information.

Very please now that they've updated things. Great way to keep up on local weather.

WHAMWX is terrible the weather reports are so false it is crazy. The forecast will that tell you there is 0% chance of raining, while you're standing in the rain or that the low temperature for the day is going to be 46, but then you look at the hourly observations it reports 30° temps for the early morning hours. The daily low and rain are important factors people need to plan for, 0% needs to mean zero....The forecast terrible

This is the best weather app I have ever had!! I love it and thanks again 13 wham for always giving the best news as soon as possible and always getting it right!!

The new app is GREAT!!! Love all the new features. Gives you all the information you would find on a broadcast and more.

I LOVE this new 13 WHAM Weather app! The Radar map is so much better. I'll be using this new app for all my weather needs.

I found it an it works great. It shows me everything I need to know right away. It's great!

Great app! Simple and easy!

Great app much more simple than the old app

This "improved" app just looks junky and cluttered and is nowhere near as easy to read as the old one. I think I'll go find something else.

Please fix your app!!

Missed the old app , thought the wait was going to be worth it . Deleted

Love the new app.

6/25/19. Update now has terrible map views. Dark and Light views are the cheap map version that was used years ago by many websites, even before apps were created.

Satellite view is ridiculously hard to read and the zoom is so inconsistant and frustrating that I nearly threw my ipod against the wall! The zooming in or out movement is either delayed, so you do it again and end up at some level of zoom that isn't at all what you want, or it zooms so fast that once again you end up where you don't want to be.

To add insult to injured eyeballs, the map now uses the wrong colors for Wx alerts. Example: Severe Thunderstorm Watch boxes are now red, just like the Tornado Watch boxes are most everywhere else.

All Wx apps created by Sinclair Broadcasting, which does this one, are like this. I had previously purposely gotten their Wx apps because their maps were the best. I wish now that I had never updated. If they'd shown an accurate pic on App Store page (which shows the old map version, hence false advertising), I'd never have done it.

iOS 7 compatible does not mean WHAMWX has been visually updated to fit in with iOS 7 and it's design UI. WHAMWX is uuugggllllyyy!
