5/5Very accurate
As someone that works outside and also spends a lot time riding motorcycles in the mountains of Tennessee and North Carolina, having an accurate weather forecast is important. At one time I had 4 different weather apps on my phone, over a period of several months I would monitor the accuracy of each App eliminating the most inaccurate one. Eventuality the WFMY weather App was the only one remaining. Now weather is a science of prediction, a very educated guess, and no one is 100% right but I found WFMY to be the most accurate over all. It’s the only weather App left on my phone.

5/5Zimmerman Carpet & Rug Cleaners
Over the past 40 years of our business service to the Triad we have used WFMY throughout each winter to decide if we needed to heat our carpet cleaning vans to keep them from freezing. They have been impressively accurate. We also really enjoy the ease and flow of their weather app. Thank you News 2 for helping us keep our equipment from freezing… Not even once!

5/5Crash
Running OS 13.3. The app no longer opens! Waiting for update. Moving to WRAL in the interim. This app is better... when it works. Good news! Around January 6th, the update came through and we’re back in business!

1/5New Glitch
I normally love this app and is usually an excellent weather source, but it now has a problem where the screen goes into video play mode (black screen with play button and X to close) when you tap on the mode at the bottom of the screen. I tried closing, uninstalling and reinstalling. I even turned my phone off and on again, but nothing changes so I’m posting this review. I hope it can be fixed. Until then I will probably stop using the app.

1/5NO Notifications
One reason for having the weather app is severe weather alerts/notifications. Earlier this evening, there was a tornado warning for my area and I had no clue! I checked settings in this app, all notifications were turned on. Then, I checked the settings on my phone for this app, every possible notification was turned on. Thank goodness my son called to make sure that I was aware of the tornado warning! There’s no point in keeping this app if the notifications don’t work!!
