Ratings and reviews

The app is stable and works well. I like the videos of the broadcast TV weather reports. Unfortunately, the videos are only updated once a day, twice if you're lucky. On weekends, the video is often a day old! The TV weather reports are broadcast at least a dozen times daily. How hard is it to post those videos in the app to keep us up to date? Update the videos 4 to 6 times per day and I'll give it a 5* rating.

Best weather app I've tried. It just needs to have heat index predictions added to the daily and hourly tabs to get to 5 stars. UPDATE: the widget (the icon that shows information rather than just being the app icon) hasn't displayed information for most of 2024; it appears they've stopped updating the app. AND, my DuckDuckGo App Tracker Protection app blocks 1000s of attempts per day of this app attempting to track me.

WINK Weather app tracks & shares my data far worse than any other app on my phone. I blocked this function with 2 different blocking apps, two different times to check the accuracy. In less than 10 min WINK attempted to share my real name, email, *precise location, estimated age & other very personal info over 300 times to Google, Microsoft & a list of others. I love this weather app but not that much. No need to track us or share our private info except for greed. Over 300 x is excessive!!
