What is The Weather Channel - Radar?

The Weather Channel app allows users to plan their daily activities by keeping up with the weather forecast in their local areas.

The Weather Channel app is available for iOS and Android devices and is rated for users of all ages. This app offers both in-app purchases and advertisements.

With The Weather Channel app, users can get hourly and daily weather forecasts up to two weeks in advance. The National Weather Service also provides severe storm alerts, live radar maps and safety tips via this app.

You can know well in advance of any blizzards expected in your area so that you can plan accordingly and stay inside if you need to. You can even set alerts to be notified of expected inclement weather. Also included in the app are sunrise/sunset time reports if you’re planning an outdoor activity that requires this information.

To maintain good health, cold/flu and allergy reports are also included along with medical advice.

When users first open this app they are immediately able to see the daily forecast for their local area. With one tap, you can then see the hourly forecast or the daily forecast for the next 14 days. If you’re a runner, this app will provide you with the best time on any given day to enjoy an outdoor run.

The ads shown on the opening page were mostly related to keeping warm and healthy (i.e. coffee, cold and flu remedies).

There are third-party ads within the app and in-app purchases of $0.99 can be made to remove the ads.
