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!

I noticed a "blank" space on my screen yesterday. Didn't think a whole lot about it. Briefly looked for The Weather Channel app yesterday but didn't spend a lot of time. This morning I started doing research and found the GM or OnStar had removed it. I'm so pi**ed.
Does anyone know if and how you can add The Weather Channel app or the apple weather app to the Car Play screen? I looked and couldn't find a setting to add it.The information center is useless without the weather app. And a big safety concern for my family when traveling. We are not asking this is a mandate from. Chevy users.
Absolutely agree!!
I total agree and was extremely disappointed by GM/Onstar that they removed a valued app that I relied upon. I used the radar feature every time I drove; winter or summer relying on that feature to plan driving routes to avoid severe weather. What made it even worse was this was done with no notice to us, the Onstar customers. I only used only the Spotify app and the Weather Channel app so Onstar, please provide some sort of weather app with a radar feature!
Can’t agree on a contract…a heads up would have been nice!!! Bring back The Weather Channel!!! 😡
Very disappointed, an absolutely great tool to have when on the road. GM - what are you thinking ?
Too bad DOGE has finally hit us end users. NOAA and FCC are/were mandated to provide emergency information to citizens. This is provided by cell phone, radio, streaming services, etc. TWC is a private company the provides its own weather info. This app was subsidized by the government so TWC could provide audible emergency updates and real time data. DOGE, king trump and princess musk, have now made this app a non-essential product and will not pay TWC to maintain and update app. OnStar will not pay for updates, look at other apps on your vehicle which need subscription, since OnStar is only a vehicle to get app to your car. So again you get what you voted for with king trump and princess musk. I don`t see this app returning unless it comes back as a paid app by us users. Congrates americans. Did this just make america great again, not
It does stink. So convenient. If you have an iPhone and use CarPlay you can add a weather app that will appear on your GM vehicle that still offers CarPlay. I use MyRadar and Drive weather to get weather on my infotainment screen.
I noticed it disappeared too without any warning or notification.
BRING IT BACK! I use this app every single day. I don't pay money for OnStar for stupid apps. This app keeps you informed and is also used for safety. PLEASE PUT IT BACK! It's probably the most useful app you offer. Very stupid and very sad.
