The Weather Channel - Radar
Best Overall“I often listen to old WC reports from the late 80s early 90s. Something about them makes me feel safe. I was sad when I realized the Throwback feature on the app was an April fools joke. Also, did you...”
“This is completely unacceptable. I understand the free version of The Weather Channel app is ad-supported, but there is a huge difference between normal ads and what I just experienced. An ad inside...”
AccuWeather: Weather Forecast
Runner-Up“Super accurate compared to other apps I’ve used. Main problem is the amount of ads you have to watch now. You can’t even look at a different tab without having to watch a video. It’s insane. I just wa...”
“Accuweather forecasts are getting inaccurate AND unrealistic. Especially temperature and precipitation—forecasted highs as stated in the morning end up being off by 8-10 degrees later, but they keep a...”
WeatherBug: Weather Forecast
Editor's Pick“At first I was skeptical but after my wife insisted, I made the switch. It’s been close to 4 years now and I couldn’t be happier with the accuracy of forecasts with such a user-friendly interface! Mak...”
“Multiple times I’ve gotten alerts that my area has an enhanced risk of severe weather including damaging hail and isolated tornados and that we should prepare. I have severe anxiety of storms due to e...”

Clime: NOAA Weather Radar Live
“I haven't found an App that accuratly predicts the weather events a makoroty if the time, like rain (it'll literally be raining & Apps will say it's not), but this one at least has a l...”
“If you don’t pay for the full version you’ll have to wait for it to load the ad about it before seeing your tornado warning.”
Weather Underground: Local Map
“I like most things about this app but a few things could make it better. I depend on this app to check on my winter home when i am away but it doesn’t show what the temp is inside my home which is wha...”
“I cannot, for the life of me, get this app to give me current location by default. I am traveling from AZ to PA and have to type in my current location every time I arrive. I traveled through Missouri...”
Weather & Radar
CARROT Weather: Alerts & Radar
“I love Carrot! It’s hilarious, very customizable, and just great overall. However, I do have some wishes that I wish would be fulfilled in future updates. First, I wish the app didn’t require a subsc...”
“I know it isn’t much, but I don’t like the idea of a subscription for a weather app. Especially one that keeps trying to trick you into one. If you think that isn’t fair… read on. Features like “cus...”
