## WSOC Description
Chief Meteorologist John Ahrens and Severe Weather Center 9 meteorologists have made the most accurate local weather app, “The WSOC-TV Weather App,” even better. Charlotte’s most powerful weather app includes the following:

Summary of Features:
-	There is a new radar in the weather app that matches the radar found on other digital platforms and also includes future radar to provide you with a likely path and outlook of storms. The radar has 250 meter resolution, the highest available.
-	New tracks - We added earthquakes and storm tracks as layers in the radar. Now you can track the location and magnitude of earthquakes as well for storms the speed, direction and type. Tap the “storm symbols” icon in the radar to see the list.
-	Locally crafted forecasts. Select a location inside the Charlote market to see a local forecast created by WSOC-TV’s local weather experts. The app tells you which member of Severe Weather Center 9 crafted the local forecast. National applications that come pre-loaded on your phone don’t have local experts focused solely on getting the local forecast right every day.
-	Push alerts are FREE for more than 25 alert types including everything from tornado warnings to winter storm warnings and tropical storm alert types. 
-	Now you can scroll through the home screen to access most of what you need or want on one tab. 
-	Place a location pin precisely where you want it for a specific address or any position on a map. When saving a location you can name it exactly how you want it. 
-	The app works with identical features on tablet and handset.
-	Additional items added seasonally

The weather app also has these critical benefits and features:
-	The radar zooms down to your neighborhood or zooms out to check radar anywhere in the country.
-	The app provides Location-Based alerts. While many other apps offer alerts based on your county, This app supports a more precise type of alert issued for the most dangerous types of weather threats. More precision means you get alerts that matter to you, not false alarms.
-	Current conditions, hourly and daily forecasts for any location you enter.
-	High resolution satellite cloud imagery
-	Ability to add and save locations
-	A fully integrated GPS for current location awareness
-	Additional items added seasonally

*Data and alerting available for the United States only.

## WSOC Reviews in United States

### ***** "Weather"
Good weather app
-- Roree62, 2024-08-13

### **--- "Hit &amp; Miss"
Weather reporting not consistent.. especially on weekends. I don’t want a video from 13 hours ago. I don’t mind 4 or 5 hours ago. Way too many video advertisements! Very frustrating.
-- Vivian13!, 2024-08-11

### ***** "Weather Geek"
Best radar feed for the weather geek I am ! And I have tried them all. Alert function is zip specific so I don’t get alerts from a distant local.
-- Weathergeek989, 2024-08-04

### *---- "Something Changed"
I used to rely heavily upon this app for my daily Weather checks as well as severe weather updates. Over the last month or so I noticed that it rarely functions properly. We recently had some severe weather come through my area and the app provided little to no information. The radar showed absolutely nothing and was not functioning. Not sure what changes were made recently, but I’m definitely uninstalling and choosing something more reliable.

### ***** "Keeps me informed of weather"
Great app
-- asle222, 2024-05-05

### ***** "The ONLY weather app I trust"
Born and raised in the Charlotte metro area. WSOC-TV Weather is the FIRST to have a local Doppler radar. National Weather Service has Charlotte in a radar black hole because of the lay of the land from the foothills through the Piedmont. WSOC-TV has been my GO TO weather and news source since the late 1970’s. I trust them that much. I survived Hurricane Hugo thanks to them even though they lost their television transmission tower
-- Silverhawkmoon, 2024-01-18

### **--- "Way off lately"
The forecast shown on app doesn’t even come close to match their live, and video recorded forecast.
-- dt704, 2023-08-29

### *---- "Interrupts phone calls"
I am deleting this app today! This app keeps interrupting my phone calls over and over and you cannot hear the other person speaking! It could be your father’s last dying breath and words, and it will interrupt what they are saying and you can never get that back again! I am over this!
-- JENNIFERDAVIS12612, 2023-06-26

### ***** "John Ahrens fan…"
WSOC-TV is my go to for news and weather. Been a fan of John Ahrens for years.
-- Redhairlaw, 2023-05-14

### *---- "WSOC-TV"
No notifications
