About this app

Chief meteorologist Tom Terry and WFTV Channel 9’s team of certified meteorologists have produced the most accurate, local weather technology available with the WFTV Channel 9 Weather App.

Ratings and reviews

Thank you! Highly recommend. This app is terrific. I can arrange the radar the way I want it, add my important cities. I'm thrilled. There are ads but they are ok, they don't lock up the screen or hold you hostage. I have been searching for a good weather app for days. My former one got "improved" - so many ads, screen hijacked, freezes, unusable disaster. Channel 9 understands that weather is very important especially for Floridians!

I like the viewing choices listed at the bottom. It's very quick & informative, and I don't have to wade thru a lot of excess junk to get the info I want. Please don't change the format. It is clear & concise, & I have the option to get more if I want. I don't want it all in my face at one time, like other channels. I like having the choices offered, so I can choose which to open. Thanks so much!

This app gets used everyday, sometimes multiple times, depending on weather events. The WFTV Weather Team is GREAT, and being able to view short video clips about weather updates is very helpful. The radar feature works everywhere you go, not limited to the central Florida viewing area. Good job with the app, thank you for making it available.
