ABC7 Chicago Weather App Reviews

Thanks for showing this on today 4pm news. I downloaded it as you were speaker and have set it up. I will update review after the next few days of weather here in the Naperville Area.

We are weather addicts! This is great!

Awesome job. Its a sweet app! Good job Jerry Taft.

Between the "zoom able" radar and the automatic alerts based on GPS this is what a weather app should be! This thing rocks. Anyone who knows Chicago understands that it is not a one size fits all weather market. This app is aware of the weather around you and lets you know when you really need to pay attention to threatening conditions in your area, not someplace two counties over. Way to go ABC weather team! This is an app Ill really use.

I just love the live radar

When you turn the app on the location finder will not turn off when turning app off and drains battery as a result.

Title says it all

Its a waste to download. The weather channel app is way better.

Very fast and informative on all levels

Radar on weather channel app is way more accurate. Abc 7 app is missing about 25% of storms on radar. How is this possible?

Very nice. Actual talks to you with a warning out loud and sirens ring. Nice.

Just went thru a heck of a storm last night and this app was perfect. I especially like the visual and audible alerts. Top notch, nice job.

Get weather bug app radar much better, as week as there tv signal the worst of any!

I have tried this for 2 weeks now. I like the alerts that it gives. This app drains your battery because of its location feature, You can turn that off!

I love this app. It does what its supposed to do: alert me of severe weather. I would like to see an actual iPad version of this. Not just an iPhone app stretched out on an iPad.

I have really bad anxiety about storms. I was watching your channel. Thank you

This app woke me up twice last night announcing a tornado watch when there was not one. It has announced erroneous tornado watches before. Please fix. I will have to turn off the announcement which defeats the purpose, but dont want to be woken in the middle of the night for no reason.

Totally discombobulated application. Difficult to believe that a professional organization would allow for a public release of such garbage.

This app has been constantly reliable. It alerts me daily & its on a cue. Keep up the excellent job!

I set 2 locations in this app: where I live (Uptown) and where I go to work (downtown). Since channel 7 is located on State and Lake downtown, you would think the forecast on my locations in the app would match what the forecast is on ABCs Channel 7 News, right?! Wrong! Today is the day before the 2nd "Polar Vortex." Im watching the Channel 7 News right now and also looking at their website. They both say the hi/low is supposed to be -5/-19 for Monday and -3/-7 for Tuesday. The app says Monday is supposed to be 10/-8 and Tuesday is 0/-14. I can understand a little variance, but that difference is ridiculous! The news is urging its watchers to download this app, so I did. Before they mention it so much, they should probably make sure its working correctly. The layout is nice and I like the fact that you can set different locations. But if a weather app doesnt report the correct weather (as much as 15 degrees off), its completely useless! Im extremely disappointed in this app!!! BTW: I also downloaded the WGN Weather app. It works just fine and reports consistent numbers with the TV, websites, and radio stations.
