Don't Try This at Home!
topdanmanJuly 3, 2015
Pros
A miracle! Somehow the makers of this crapware stay in business.
Cons
You get a lot of unwanted extras with this app: malware, browser changes, search engine changes, all in a very hard-to-remove package. If you enjoy those kinds of things - and more - then this is the weather app for you!
Summary
RUN AWAY ! ! !
Concerned_USA_CitizenNovember 20, 2014
Pros
If you can isolate the app and kill all the attached malware, it is pretty helpful.
Cons
I can't believe that an organization like The Weather Channel would agree to attach advertisement malware to this very useful tool...... boy was I wrong.
Summary
Buggy and malware
TK05March 22, 2014
Pros
*It gives you the weather.
Cons
*Buggy, causes system to run slow *Doesn't work every time *Bundled with Malware
Summary
I was looking for a simple weather application and had assumed that The Weather Channel would be a good place to get one. I was completely wrong. Not only does the application not work half of the time, it bogs down my system when its doing it (Intel i7 Processor with 12 GB of RAM!!!). Assuming I had been infected, I ran Malwarebytes to find that it did contain malware. Do not install this program!!
Nothing but problems
MennoTedMarch 21, 2014
Pros
Convenient when it didn't crash, but crash it did.
Cons
I wrote a review earlier saying that the app didn't work very well and often created script and other errors. Often showed no data and was convinced that I had no internet connection.(I did)After they issued an update I decided to try again. After installing, my computer dragged along - it seemed to use way too much processor. Finally I got the dreaded "blue screen" and decided that it had to be the weather channel app. I uninstalled and my computer is running smooth and fast again. Running Win 7. I recommend that you stay away.
Summary
Warning - Malware
gulchgoersfDecember 4, 2013
Pros
This app and a few others were installed without my permission when I downloaded Filezilla. I never even installed Filezilla, just downloaded it. Malwarebytes identified the exe as a Trojan and wiped it out. Beware!
Cons
Malware!!!!!
Summary
Good software
herrysmith926September 28, 2013
Pros
you can get exact whether report in each hour. This application also supports services like facebook and iWitness. I exactly found correct information whatever it delivered to me.
Cons
it takes too much time during the installation process.
Summary
Pathetic and sneaky app I didn't want installed.
teamksaSeptember 18, 2013
Pros
None... I didn't even want this app installed, it came installed with my Filezilla download. And how that happened I will never know.
Cons
Could not uninstall. Had to have 3 other programs to get this malware off my computer. This program is so poorly developed that is is worthless. If this isn't a true malware symptom, I don't know what is. This thing will not let you take the program off and you must hope it's not a trojan with a virus inside. I had nothing but problems with my internet browser after this thing was installed through a Filezilla install, which was the only thing I installed the day this app showed up. Do not install this weather channel app. The hassle of having it is not ever worth it.
Summary
This is one of the most undeveloped app's I've ever seen. I do not like that it came hidden within another program install and that it could not be easily uninstalled. All reviews on this app desribed one thing... it is bad and is most likely a virus or malware.
Inaccurate
camathomeSeptember 16, 2013
Pros
Interesting graphics
Cons
Completely inaccurate. After experiencing 2+ days of straight rain, and seeing "Haze" indicated on the app over many, many checks, I certainly couldn't trust it for the weather someplace that I couldn't look out of the window at and check myself! Also crashes with regularity. Uninstalled!
Summary
Don't bother.
Contains virus
DavidR1216March 23, 2013
Pros
None because of virus.
Cons
Comes with trojan horse virus.
Summary
Can't trust the Weather Channel and Cnet? What is this world coming to?
Poor UI with new Update
JCBAKFebruary 19, 2013
Pros
Don't see any now. I loved the previous version.
Cons
The app used to be a lot of weather information with a few ads. Now its a lot of ads with a little weather information. I have uninstalled it...sadly because I loved the older version.
Summary
Don't waste your time with this app. Weather bug and Accu Weather now have better user interfaces compared with this app. I hope they role back the update.
