I used to love 4WarnWeather as it was one of the most accurate forecasting locally. Everything was easy to find and right at your fingertips… this new “modern” layout they released today is horrible! Can’t tell what’s an ad and what’s part of 4WarnWeather . Locating the features your looking for is difficult now and no longer right there when app loads. Considering deleting app except they are most accurate forecast. Also, I’ve never felt the need to write a review before but this update is frustrating and kind of upsetting. 😞

You have to scroll through to find what you’re looking to rather than a quick summary on th start page.

I downloaded 4WarnWeather to keep up with the latest weather alerts as they advertise on tv but it's just an app that bombards you with advertising. I deleted it just as fast as it took to download it.

The 4 warn weather app was a wonderful app until the latest update... Now it isn't any better then the news app. It's loaded with redirect adds and adds on the home page!!
I deleted it just as fast as the news app... Great job channel 4!

Doesn’t work when you need it to

Be better if you show wind gust either on main screen or even better, hourly.
Talk about wind gust all the time and it's been bad this past year so why not tell us what the mph is
by Jessi&Jerry
Crashes constantly. Radar is counter intuitive. Overall layout is poor.
by ChrisMc29
I don't mind the verbal warnings I do like those but the radar does not work at all so 4WarnWeather is no help to me. I'll go to other weather apps for radar and more detailed weather reporting.

Filled with screen ads AND pop ups. tried to use in severe weather and up come the pop ups...easier to use national wax service web site...one word...DELETE

After the most recent update everything got bad! The live streaming won't work. Ad pop ups all the time, it stops the live streaming. I have to now watch Channel 2 News.
by 2ndfiddle2golf
Forecast & Warnings are accurate but recently the ad pop-ups are so incessant that they prevent one from reading them in full. Too annoying to keep 4WarnWeather so will try another local app. Also, the radar has never worked for me.
by Paddys-ipad
The most recent version H (May 16,2019) changed the radar image and it now looks terrible. The background (satellite view) is too dark, and the radar image is pixelated. Also, on the iPad, the radar usually opens in the vertical or portrait mode when the iPad is positioned horizontally, as is almost always is. very annoying.
by STARCHILD
Would be a great app, but if you try to read the weather forecast outlook, you get ad interruptions every few seconds! Very intrusive, so why bother reading forecast. I know things cost to support a “free app”, but what point does 4WarnWeather serve the customer when the info can’t get accessed due to tons of ad interruptions! Eventually your customer gets disgusted and dumps your app. I suggest you cut back on the add intrusions.

The new update is not user friendly. I chose to go with another weather app at this time. This one used to be my go to!
by Julia Is Da Best
This has been my go to weather app for years. The new updates are horrible. Time to delete.
by Sunsetwatcher1
This new “updated modern” format stinks. The map is LESS interactive than previous editions. You can’t see lightning strikes. The colored boxes are not labelled on the map. (You can see them but there is nothing telling you why they are there). I subscribe to weather Alerts and have gotten none. It is advertisement driven. Fix it or it goes bye bye. Using another app in the meantime -AccuWeather.
by Clarence Yeti
This was my go to weather app. Update is really bad. I want to read the amount of snow or rain not watch a video to find out. Will be switching to a new app for weather. Very disappointed in Channel 4 app. Don’t waste your time, look elsewhere. Zero stars
by Nederlam
The Radar map has motion control right on top of the map. The original map looked much better. The hourly forecast is graphic and not tabular so now you need to scroll sideways - annoying. There appears to be more ads mixed in which makes it difficult to get to what you want to view. Bring back the original app please.
by Sophia Joelle
I used to love 4WarnWeather. It had a great radar that was easy to view, lightning detection, and great weather information. Now it’s just junk and clutter. No lightning detection. The layout is awful. Not sure why they changed it. There are better apps available from rival stations. If I could give it zero stars, I would.
by Mlc3a
4WarnWeather used to be my favorite. New update is ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE. I’ll check back in a few months to see if any changes have been made. I’ll be using another app in the meantime. I tried to get used to the layout, the new radar, and the interface…just don’t like it. Sorry guys, feels cheap.
by Evfan2267
I liked the simplicity of the old design of 4WarnWeather. Now that it’s modernized it’s terrible! It’s too hard to understand what everything is supposed to mean or where things are in this new update. I know most updates take time to get used to but this is awful
by Kenngy50
The new layout is terrible , the old app was so easy to use . The new print on home page is so small to read . I could get the 5 day weather on a horizontal lay out , so easy, not on the new vertical one day at a time.
I am searching for a replacement so good by !
by Steppenwulfe
Got 4WarnWeather after the update everyone is talking about, but came to say yes its visually confusing. Please change it back to how it used to be
by Angel7829
Update in early 2022 is horrific. I never leave reviews for apps or clothing but this is awful. Used to be very early to maneuver and get to the information I needed but this new format makes it so you don’t understand what is 4WarnWeather and what is ad.
by Jcnwwe
This new version of 4WarnWeather is awful. Switch back to other version please. Used 4WarnWeather for years for weather, but will change if it stays this way.
by Jaggmom
What have they done??? This new version of 4WarnWeather is terrible. I will be deleting! Not user friendly at all. Information is very difficult to find. I loved the former set up. Someone ran with a really bad plan here. Bye Channel 4.
by Petermaz
Thousands depend on Wind Speed and direction, Wave heights, and Water temperatures every summer here in WNY. But the developers didn't think it was important. They need to get out more.
by Blizzard Hater
Channel 4's new weather app has been great for keeping up to date on quickly changing weather conditions. Finally a weather app that is easy to use!
