The online site is absolute pathetic. I won’t go into multiple ads, spam hits afterwards, selling email and phone numbers to an open market is all legal but bs. Then they offer you, if you pay this se... See more

People shouldn't have to dig for the main facts, not in conversation, not online, not on the app. Why do I have to scroll so damn far past a bunch of garbage to see the wind direction and speed? That's a main fact that should be next to the temperature!!!

They just guess at the weather.

Soo I’m pretty sure they just guess. I could be a better weather man than they are. Just go outside. Whatever the weather is at that moment is how you will know what the weather is. It’s better than what they provide you with. I looked it said 6 percent chance of rain. No rain on the radar. Just partly cloudy. Well it’s down pouring here with thunder. I just looked 3 mins prior to the rain. Then I looked again… and it’s now 60 percent chance of rain and thunder. Get it together weather channnel!!!!!!! You are absolutely horrific at your job! We can do a better job than you!!! They just guess. Even if it’s raining where I’m at they still don’t even update you snd tell you it’s sunny out. So insane.

Weather Channel, Weather.com, a misinformation media platform.

The weather channel, weather.com, intentionally provides inaccurate weather in real-time. The online site and specifically televised news channel, acts as a media platform not factual news reporting, continuously produces misleading reports and misinformation when compared to NWS and other weather reporting agencies. The new interactive map eliminated essential features and functions making it more user unfriendly than prior versions. The previous intuitive interactive radar is replaced by broken interface hides critical data behind ads and it's confusing layout. Weather.com makes claims "most accurate weather" but deliberately exaggerates daily / hourly current conditions and outlooks by obscurring the actual day and time in their visuals. Recent updates are ad-heavy layouts. Using the zoom is overly sensitive, wobbles and bobbles like shaking a snow globe, and requires expert finger dexterity beyond the average user's abilities. Pop-up ads and clickbait videos are aggressively fake ads and placements routinely block the user's views.

Truly horrible app

Truly horrible app. It will literally say it's raining here and won't be a drop of rain falling. Or it will be raining and it shows that it's not. You'd be better off just sticking your head out the door and looking. It's heat index prediction is nearly always low. If it says the index will be 102 you better be ready for 105. No idea why it comes preloaded on Samsung phones. Making me lose my trust in Samsung.

The content and accuracy has gone to…

The content and accuracy has gone to S#!t. They use multiple models and they all act like they don’t know what to believe. They play 1 hour of live content and then put it on repeat for 4 days. The app constantly crashes on the TV and the phone. The business model, content and staff confidence needs a complete refresh. The advertising department with the same commercials playing 4x in a row is ridiculous. It’s hard to keep this show playing for more than 30 min.

Sucks... Just guess; you'll be more accurate

Sucks.... Sometimes it says it has an issue showing a map in your area then shows you weather in some random city far away.... Also, security app on phone shows the weather app is constantly sending tracking bots to your phone that it has to shut down.... The app is also about as accurate as guessing the weather... Sometimes it says 90 percent rain now or will end soon... go outside and it's sunny and never rained..... The ads also suck when you can't even see accurate weather.

THE NEWEST WEATHER DISASTER IS...THE WEATHER CHANNEL

The Weather Channel used to be held in good regard by us military WX types. Not so any more. The WC has managed to get worse and worse! More ads, reformatting and "fixing" what was Not broken, made navigating the website harder...AND now the radar just links 15 minute interval "snapshots" that make it look like the radar image is having seizures. It used to be my "go to" for comparing WX forecasts. What is happening at "The Weather Channel"???? It's a disaster!

The website and app regularly glitch

The website and app regularly glitch, have way too many ads, provide inaccurate information and generally underperform in every category, failing to meet my most basic expectations for a weather service. At one time, I feel like they were decent, but that has been a very long time ago.
