Bring back the weather app!

I discovered yesterday that the Weather Channel app has been discontinued. I'm not happy about this! I use this app constantly. It's really the only add on app that I use in the car. I love it when I'm driving long distances alone and I need to check the weather. It's so much safer to look at the radar quickly on the screen vs trying to pull it up on my phone while I'm driving. I live in the Midwest and the weather can change quickly, especially in the spring and summer. OnStar is about being safe in your vehicle. I can't think of any apps that they offer that are more important to safety than the weather app. Please bring it back! I will definitely pay a little extra to have the app. It's important to me and my safety! I called OnStar yesterday to let them know my concerns about this decision. I hope they decide to bring it back!

  • This was my second most used app in my truck besides CarPlay. I use this to help plan. Long distance drives without having to worry about messing with my phone. Bring it back!

    I agree, I want The Weather Channel.  I miss the Radar.  It is also the most used App I had.

    Not on my 2020 Canyon Denali. Been having phone app update issues and spent time with IT tech yesterday and left with app not updating. About hour later app was working correctly on iPhone. As for weather channel app, it's not back on my basic minimally required OnStar subscription. Not sure what vehicle you have and OnStar plan, but that might make a difference. As for now, using Weather Radar with Car play.

    A weather/radar app should be standard.  Miss it on my 2025 Silverado!

    Bring back a weather app. It’s about time for me to buy a new car. Guess what, it won’t be a GM.
