You can subscribe to the ad-free version of the app for $2 a month ($10 a year if paid upfront) or you can subscribe to the Premium Pro version of the app for $5 a month ($30 a year).ĪccuWeather offers users what it calls MinuteCast, which breaks down forecasts by the minute. You can download The Weather Channel app for free in Apple's App Store and the Google Play store.

But beware, the privacy policy does say The Weather Channel 'cannot delete data directly associated with your account without deleting your account.'

You can also request to delete data related to your preferences. You won't run into these ads if you subscribe to the paid version of the app.Īccording to The Weather Channel's privacy policy, the app may collect, use and share your data. I ran into four ads when scrolling down the main page of the app, and then I ran into a whole sponsored content section near the bottom of the page. The downside? The free version of the app has a lot of ads, and they can be distracting. The app gives you standard weather information, like hourly temperatures, rain chances throughout the day, a live weather radar and any severe weather alerts in your area. Most of the stories are related to the weather, the environment and wildlife, but you'll also see health- and lifestyle-related stories. You can watch videos of news stories from The Weather Channel in the app.

Calling The Weather Channel app a weather app feels like a disservice.
