Ratings and reviews

This app used to work perfectly!! Now, I have to wait over 5 minutes just to get it to load!! Yes, my location is on, all the time, in an effort to help this, and it still doesn't. Please take it back to the way it was. This recent update made me want to uninstall the app due to it NOT WORKING!! What's the point of a weather app that doesn't load when you NEED to see the weather! #notWGNquality

MyRadar went to a subscription-based service, and I no longer an ad-free version of the app. WGN Weather works for me, as I no longer travel very far for work. However, I wish it showed barometric pressure. I'm sitting here with a headache as I watch our old-school dial barometer drop with an approaching squall line, and the WGN Weather app doesn't provide me with a pressure reading.

A lot of permissions needed for this app, but back to being my favorite after the last bug fix. UPDATE: Widget no longer displays weather and severe weather alerts (watches, warnings, etc) rarely appear anymore. IF they do, it's usually well after the alert was issued. At least I have a weather radio to let me know when there is a tornado warning. If I relied on this app, my family would potentially be in serious danger. (Samsung Galaxy S21 5G)
