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.

I am concerned as well. Living in Florida and having to evacuate numerous times from the west side of the state, we depended on the weather channel radar to show us where the storms were going so that we could get out of the way when we got on the road. It was one of the reasons I liked GM vehicles all these years that the weather channel has been available.
Now that you remove the app from my truck, which is one of the main reasons why I bought a GMC I am seriously considering no longer purchasing a Chevy product
it was a very valuable tool for my safety and enjoyment if I could purchase it, I would but even that’s not availableThese are never the sort of sentiments that we like to hear expressed about your experience with your OnStar services in the GMC that you love and depend on Mark. Our team extends our sincerest apologies for any inconvenience this has caused. The Weather Channel's has decided not to renew its contract with GM regarding the application developed specifically for GM vehicles. In the meantime, if you are utilizing Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, you may consult these platforms for any weather-related information. If there is anything further that we may assist you with, please don't hesitate to send us another message here. We're always here and happy to help.
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…
Well said and agree 100%.
YES! Please bring back SOMETHING that will give us weather and radar alerts.
We appreciate your feedback, Leaner. Please know, The Weather Channel has decided not to renew its contract with GM regarding the application developed specifically for GM vehicles. There is no plan in place to bring back The Weather Channel, but we are always looking for ways to provide unique experiences to our Members. With this, another weather option may be considered at a future point. Thank you for your understanding.
