## WRAL Weather Reviews in United States

### ***-- "Radar is great, alerts never work"
The radar is great, it loads fast and is easy to use. The alerts never work. I’ve tried reinstalling the app and I will get 1 or 2 alerts and then they stop. Please fix this!!!!!!
-- Chris Caricato, 2024-12-29

### *---- "Crazy4cheezits"
Not happy
I’ve had this app for several years and have been happy until a few weeks ago. I have several favorite locations saved where family and friends live, but lately when I view the weather at other locations, it displays my current location weather. I uninstalled and reinstalled the app and it’s still doing it. How can I fix this?
-- Crazy4cheezits, 2024-12-21

### **--- "Doesn’t work"
I finally deleted it because it would show the same temperature for every location and never vary or update.
-- GivingUp2024, 2024-12-05

### ***-- "Seven day info"
What happened to the 7-day forecasts? Y’giving is the last week I can get. Help!
-- kaehele, 2024-12-03

### **--- "Fix this!"
I have reviewed this app in the past and was told that this problem would be fixed in the next update. Nine months later and no update? The problem is that I have added a few locations in addition to my home location that I like to be able to check  quickly. I used to be able to swipe through them but now they all say Current Location instead of the actual place name
-- LeeAnn55, 2024-11-27

### **--- "Need updating!"
Seems like this app hasn’t been updated since Greg Fishel left. Where’s the weather widget? Weather notifications are delayed sometimes. I resorted to using the stock Apple weather app. UPDATE 11/3/24: Now the widget does not update to show current temperature. Come on WRAL!
-- kwp217, 2024-11-04

### *---- "Best Weather App that doesn’t work"
Fix the bugs on Home Screen already! It’s been 6 months.  Cannot switch cities properly and radar history doesn’t load most of the time. I would get a new developer. I’ve made an app before and I’m sure the issues that continue can be easily fixed. The latest updates have actually broken the app significantly. 
Original post: Much better with the last update which no longer reloads the app every 5 min just to update your location. The 5 sec reload was driving me crazy. Because of that I downloaded about 6 other highly rated weather apps and tested them for a few weeks but they all had issues or were lacking info. WRAL Weather is actually the best I found. iControl Radar is awesome &amp; covers the full continental US. Its 6 hr history is great to to track storms. Also like the Almanac and found lake levels under “Around the State” to check drought conditions.
-- tk517, 2024-10-16

### *---- "No weather alerts"
This used to be my favorite weather app. Excellent radar and weather alerts. While the radar is still excellent, I can no longer depend upon this weather app. I no longer receive notifications for my selected weather alerts and have not done so for approximately a year. In addition, the timeline for the radar no longer works consistently.
-- L33 l, 2024-10-14

### ***-- "Doesn’t keep up"
I’ve had this app for years and recently increased the text size on my phone to make reading easier.  Even though it’s not even near the largest size only about 20% of the numbers are visible for the current temp.  Also, I’ve found that the radar does not have the option for animation all the time.   The developer needs to fix these items because now I prefer WeatherBug so I can see the temperature.  Can’t be that hard to fix each of these!
-- mlwjnnc, 2024-10-07

### **--- "No alerts!"
I’ve had this app for years and for at least the past year I get no notifications of any of my set alerts. No sound is played when there is an alert. I have to physically open the app to see any alerts listed. We’ve had several tornado warnings in the past year and no audible alerts. Just happened to be lucky enough to either have the news on or my security system alerts for tornado. My ring neighbor hood watch has been more reliable with alerting me for tornado warnings than this app. I have deleted and reinstalled and that did nothing. Regular updates for the app would probably help also.
