Concern Regarding the Removal of the Weather Channel App
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. 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.

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…
