What happened?

The WGN weather app has been my favorite for as long as I can remember so I would normally give it five stars. What happened?? I am looking at it right now. The satellite shows no rain over me. The hourly says no rain and I’m looking out the window at pouring rain. I have noticed for several weeks now that I have to constantly close it out and re-open it to get anything to work. Don’t know what the developers did to update it a month ago but it’s terrible. Now I’ve had to start looking at other weather apps and they are not my favorite, but at least the satellite is working correctly. Please fix this, so this can be my favorite again.

My Favorite Weather App No Matter Where You Live

After spending all of my childhood and most of my adult life in the Chicago area, I moved to the east coast a few years ago. One of the first things I missed was WGN Weather, which has always been exemplary. I was so happy to find this app, which is ALWAYS the most accurate for my weather in the Philadelphia area. Sadly, there is no one even close to Tom Skilling and his team elsewhere in the country. They don’t get that a weather report is NOT simply reading out the temperatures on a map. The WGN Weather Team actually EXPLAINS it to you. Kudos to WGN, Tom Skilling, and the entire WGN weather team for doing the best weather in the country! Of course this app will not explain it to you the way the professionals at WGN Weather do it on WGN TV, but at this app will give you the most accurate weather available anywhere. Full Stop.

Advertising is out of control

I live in Chicago and have used this app several times a day for years. I got used to the interface and hated when I tried other weather apps. However, with the latest update, there’s a 10-second delay after opening while the app displays a full-screen ad. It also displays that ad again if the app loses focus and you go back into it.

That’s an unacceptable delay, and it has cost you a user (and four stars) — I just uninstalled and switched to Weatherology, which provides the same reliable information without the delay and in a format I’ve decided I actually like. The radar, which has always been the best part of the WGN app, is the same quality.

Just as Tom Skilling is retiring, so too is this app. Goodbye, WGN Weather.
