There when I need it
I think this is a good app if you live in the viewing area
Highly Satisfied
I’m so proud of all the WDRB Meteorologists. They work hard so we all can be prepared for our weather. They are most of the time right on it and, I, for one do not expect them to control conditions out of their control. They are always there for the viewing area and I rate them 10 out of 10. Thanks to all of you for all your hard work and preparing me for what lies ahead. I really appreciate all of you!!
Latest update is not good.
The app is usually convenient. Last night, when we were under a tornado warning, nothing on the app. The weather channel app had is, as well as a metro alert and sirens outside. As for the last 2 updates, it no longer looks like it does on this app page, there is a huge ad and you have to scroll down to see actual weather data. Not cool, especially during severe weather!! I will be using the Weather Channel weather app until this screwup is fixed. Do better!!
Problem watching videos on the app.
For at least the last week, I can’t get any of the weather related videos the meteorologists post to play. I press play and I get an error message telling me that the requested video cannot be played.
Radar Subpar
I can’t stand how the radar freezes constantly. Can never get a smooth 24hr scan or even a 8hr scan for that matter. The minute you do get a smooth scan that doesn’t freeze, an ad pops up then the radar resets🤣. Gotta love KY weather apps, ain’t chit ever accurate for us🤦🏻♂️
My Favorite Weather App
This has been my favorite go to weather app for years now. Everything I need to know from current temperature, humidity level, hour by hour forecast, daily or weekly, it’s quick & easy. Watching the broadcasted forecasts on my schedule are great too that are updated throughout the day. Can’t recommend this app enough when you are on the go especially on crazy mornings. 😊
Pop ups
Love love love the weather people just not the pop up add that covers the whole page
Right now is not the time I’m looking for a pic up truck, I lucky to have the time to have one hand free to delete the pop up

Awesome App
A great app with the trusted team of Meterologists in Kentucky
Exactly what it says
I love this app and it’s exactly the same as it describes to be and it’s a great and dependable way to get the weather where you are or where you want to set it and I’m not sure what the low ratings are about but it’s definitely worth downloading and using in my opinion. It has to be set and if you don’t know how to do that then it will not work for you however that’s not the problem on the apps end.
5 Negative User Reviews for WDRB Weather
‘maps’ does not work right on an iPhone 14
The ‘maps’ feature only shows a static ‘Past’. The arrow does not work and so time and the map do not progress over time. This feature works on an iPad Air 2 (2014) and Air 5 (2022). There’s a glitch in the Mapbox software or in how the developer (WDRB) has programmed it for the WDRB app.
Latest update
I don't care for the new layout. First, the ads take up too much space. And second, you have to scroll halfway down to see the current temperature. I don't understand why developers feel the need to "improve" the look of their apps when they were fine the way they were. Very dissapointed.
Radar map
Will only let me see a future forecast but can't view past/current as the option is grayed out. Had to start using another app to see what I want. Please fix this.
Poor weather summaries
What vexes me most about this app is the way too concise daily forecasts. They use vaguely worded one or two word descriptions that offer no specifics. I’ve brought this to their attention in the past but it always falls on deaf ears. The Wave 3 weather app is much more specific and detailed. To the mets at wdrb, do better!
Notifications need to change
While I leave my phone on silent majority of the time, I turn the sound on at night in the event of severe weather. All apps I’ve ever used had a sound as it’s notification system. This app uses a voice. Not a good idea to be asleep and hear a man’s voice wake you. As a male this startled me. I can only imagine if someone lived alone and a voice woke them up. Needs to be a sound.
