1. ★★★★★inaccurate results and incorrect data

   Radar fail. Radar has been useless lately. Crashes, and is inaccurate. Wonky as hell.

2. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

   Broken. Radar function has been broken for weeks. Had to get a different app

3. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   The worst weather app. WPXI use to be one of the best until they were sold in 2020. Now they are the worst!

4. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Bill. As bad as the weather channel

5. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   No clue. I just WISH the weather people in PGH/ western PA would be honest and say on air “ Look people, we have no idea what the weather is going to be, and quite frankly NO ONE does.” And that would be the truth. Just list the days and put on there Monday not sure … Tuesday don’t know …Wednesday might be anything could rain, could be sunny, possibly cloudy… Thursday check the almanac because your guess is as good as mine and Friday Saturday Sunday just play it by ear because there’s no telling. That’d be great.

6. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Latest version poorly designed. The latest version of the iOS app puts interface elements in the space reserved for iOS so when you attempt to interact with them you’re obstructed by the iOS interface instead of the app itself.

7. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Waste of time. Why do I have to watch a video for a storm warning? Just list the counties/ areas affected. Quick access to that info could be valuable in an emergency situation.

8. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   This app just doesn’t work well at all. The video on this app doesn’t work well at all. One wonders if the creators have ever actually tried to use it on an iPhone.

9. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Dr.. Weather forecast appear to always be uncertain! Never seems to be definite! Basically ANYONE can say we “COULD” get this and that weather! Be CERTAIN with your forecast. Present the forecast with CERTAINTY!!! We are adults and REALIZE it is a FORECAST. I left WTAE when Stephen Cropper did and followed him to WPXI. I have had to look to WTAE for clarification lately. ***SIDE NOTE*** WPXI’s “hourly” forecast on the internet has been malfunctioning for MONTHS!

10. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Hmm. I like it but the leave a review pop up is annoying so due to that here’s your review

11. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Little Information. The forecast videos are short teasers that try to manipulate you into watching the TV broadcast. Worthless information on the app.

12. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Quit asking me to review. Because you constantly want me to do a review

13. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    School closings removed?. I can’t find this information anymore. Has it been removed? If so, I’ll just delete it. It was the one thing I had it on my phone for.

14. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Old version better. I loved the old version.new one is hard to use especially the radar. Why change something that was working? Deleting and going with a different local station.

15. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Much more cumbersome. The radar used to be so easy to see and the tools self-explanatory. The new app radar is cumbersome and I still can’t figure out some of the tools. We live above I80 so would add/subtract a few degrees to the forecast and just use the radar. I wish they would have just kept it simple! 😫 Deleting this one and trying another.

16. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    New update = no usability. Since the update, the app only shows the homepage photo of the anchors. There is no menu, there are no icons, I have swiped and tapped and done everything but all I see is a photo. This is not useful. Am I missing something?

17. ★★★★★data, history or progress disappears

    New Version Terrible. Major bugs need worked out. The old version was fine, now it doesn’t even work. I’ll probably just delete app :(

18. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Terrible. I don’t like the changes made. Not user friendly. Please go back to the old format where need to know info was available at first glance.

19. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Updated app 2019, May. I can see the weather people but, there is no weather report. It is plain white, blank. I'm very upset over this, this was my place I counted on for my daily weather reports. 😡

20. ★★★★★ads disrupt the experience

    Poorly done and annoying ads. Used to like this app. Will be changing to another one as soon as this review is written If I wanted to play the lottery I wouldn’t be looking at a weather app. Shocking poor taste. Who’s bright idea was that???

21. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    New UI is less productive. This new UI has made me and my wife switch to another app. The old UI was easy to use and didn’t auto start video

22. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    No longer my go to. Will delete soon changes wrecked formerly the best pgh weather app to so what

23. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    I cannot change this to Fahrenheit.. What’s the point? I have to use other apps. This one is useless.

24. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Not working. App is saying its 14 degrees its July doesn't make sense

25. ★★★★★a needed feature is missing

    Weird. Half the screen is taken up with a picture of one of some news lady. I'd rather see weather information. Also it has banner ads with no option to get rid of them. No thanks.

26. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Lots of bugs. Crashes and when it doesn't crash, continuous ad loop. You can't access any content because ad reappears as soon as you X out. You can't get to support page either. Another bad WPXI app

27. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    WPXI weather app. Update not working...Better before ...Freezes up Please fix....would give minus star if I could

28. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    This app crashes my iPhone 4. I am running ios 7.1 on my iPhone 4 and the iPhone completely freezes up when I use this app. This is not the first time that this has happened. After trying everything else I needed to do a hard reset to get back to the home screen. I decided that enough is enough and I deleted this app from my iPhone 4 a few minutes ago.

29. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Used to be my favorite weather app. This app used to be clean and organized. Before today, it was a five star app. The update I got today looks nice, but the actual forecast part of the app is so small, I can't even read it. Half of my screen is taken up by a video, which I will never watch. I'll be looking for a new weather app today.

30. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Horrible app. Layout is awful, updates are horrible. I deleted this app after 5 mins and installed wtae's app which is much nicer
