I am reaching out to express my disappointment over the recent removal of the Weather Channel app from the OnStar services in my GMC truck. This app has been an invaluable resource, offering dependable, real-time weather updates that are crucial for ensuring my travel safety and effective trip planning. As a loyal GMC and OnStar customer, I have come to greatly appreciate the convenience and practicality this feature provided. Its removal has unfortunately had a negative impact on my overall driving experience. I kindly urge you to reconsider this decision or to introduce an alternative solution that delivers the same level of reliability and accessibility.

YES! Please bring back SOMETHING that will give us weather and radar alerts.

We own two GM vehicles (2024 Enclave and 2023 Traverse) and use the weather app whenever we travel and have been very disappointed to discover it has been removed and hope that it will be brought back… more useful than an NPR app…

Yes. I miss this app. We use it a lot. If you can't come to terms with Weather Channel, there is surely someone else who would like to ride along and get my attention. The. app helped me avoid a major hail storm last year.

When comparing vehicles to purchase and spend the next 5 years paying on, the weather channel at my fingertips was a big pro on my list. To see this feature removed 2 years after buying the car was disappointing. I probably wont renew my onstar plan unless its less than what I paid having the weather channel. No way am I paying the same price for less features. It expires at the end of june.

it really don’t have to bring the weather channel app back I think it was Kinda boring looking I did not care for it but I think onstar should either go with another company like inrix weather or like the SiriusXM travel link where it shows weather on you nav screen like weather radar weather alerts and 5 day forecast paid subscription of course so like we can get weather and there live traffic with a package deal ?

GMC needs to provide a weather application. They still tout having the ability to check the weather through the Informatic Screen. I used to be able to click on the temperature and it would bring up the Weather Channel App, not when I click on the temperature, it brings up the SD Card.

I completely agree, when driving and across states the in car notification of incoming or upcoming weather in the interface of vehicle is amazing. The phone doesn't always pick it up. Why they canceled these contracts is beyond me. That’s one thing I could completely rely on as a busy traveling mom. Please renew those so we can travel safely and without having to have paid subscriptions on our phones that run through the car that don't work nor send alerts.
