Obnoxious ads ruined great app

Was my go-to weather app until hijacked by game ads every time I wanted to check the radar. I deleted it. It was really good before the dumb ads. We're not talking banner ads, we're talking full screen and difficult to get rid of.

2017-06-24

Hijacked with game ads

Every time we press "See More" to look at the radar or other features, we are taken instead to a mini-game ad, so we deleted the app. Also, "App Support" here in the App Store listing goes nowhere. It's a broken or outdated link.

2017-06-24

Great Weather App-before the ads

The weather alerts and the app were great until the ads started to appear. Give an option for removing ads and I'll likely be back, but for now it's deleted.

2017-06-14

Won't open

Won't open. Keeps going to an ad then just kicks me out.

2017-04-04

Fix me!

I just updated recently and every time I open the app it pops up a message about Bluetooth which I have no interest in doing. Both the help menu item and the Feedback menu items are not functional.

I guess I still appreciate the weather information, but the pop-up is quite annoying.

2017-01-17

No landscape

I am no longer using your app since this new version is only in portrait. Landscape works better on iPad. I have switched to the Storm app.

2016-12-17

This update

Can't change the orientation for iPad? Not user friendly. Prefer old version because of this.

2016-12-11

Not as good

This update has made this app much less user friendly. Traffic is buried and not easy to access. The forecast is not as complete. This is just a poor update.

2016-12-11

Ugg :(

How could a complete redesign have made a bad app worse? Ask these guys...smh

2016-12-10

Irritating update

Opens in locked portrait mode, and only map tab has landscape view option. Went back to old app for ipad-friendly viewing. Hope this gets changed before old app is retired.

2016-12-06

New update

New update is pretty good, but no landscape mode anymore? Why? Please fix this.

2016-12-02

Landscape mode please

This was great, now it launches in portrait mode on my IPad. Nice update. Please fix.

2016-12-02

New update step down

The new update only allows Portrait mode viewing on the iPad. I view nearly everything in landscape mode. Turning the iPad to view in portrait mode is a real inconvenience. Classic example of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."

2015-12-28

Junk

Weather videos not updated on a timely basis. Live tv does not work.

2015-11-11

Get thisssss!!!!!!!!!

This app is really helpful I think you should get it it warned me about severe weather right away!

2015-09-02

Stay away

Don't touch this "updated" version of the app at least if you are using an iPad. The thing is terrible looking in landscape, the blue covers almost all of the screen. The advertisements are massive and the map is so narrow that you can't even tell what's going on.

Navigation is crap. I seriously think app developers should take a lesson or two in UX design and stop being money hungry.

I'm already looking for a completely different app since the old one now constantly prompts me to download this pile of garbage.

2015-07-26

A step,backwards

Light blue backgrounds with white text are difficult to read.

Hourly forecasts only fun for 24 hours max., not nearly as far out as the previous version.

I will use previous version until stopped.

2015-07-03

Going Backwards

This looks more like it was an older version than an update. The previous version was better in too many ways to type here.

2015-06-09

Updates

Hate the new updates. I can't see the info even with my glasses on. I think I'll delete it unless they go back soon!

2015-06-06

Poor update

Don't like the new blue background. And it was easier to see the 5 day forecast and write ups. This is a step back

2015-03-13

Works good

Looks like I'm the first review. I'd like to start off by saying I use this in place of TWC. I absolutely despise that channel and want nothing to do with it. Then I went with Weathernation but that wasn't cutting it. I like this app because it's local and accurate. The ONLY thing I'd like to see is a better span of time for the radar. Say like a 2 hour window instead of just 20 minutes? I think that's what it is now. With the storm season approaching 20 minutes isn't enough to see and plan things out, which I do quite often. Until that's changed I have to keep TWC and WN around :/

5 stars when that's done please and thank you!

2014-08-18

Love it

I love the app it's the best in the world but 1 ? On iPad it had a update but on the iPod it doesn't! But other wise it's awesome and I like that if you missed the news in the morning you can watch it after work or some thing! I love it!!!!!

So I really recommend this app more than the weather channel!!! So if you have weather channel I recommend trying this app I think you'll like it!!!! It takes a little bit to load but I love the real app!!!!! It's awesome!!!!!! :)

Have a great day ;)

2014-06-13

Best Weather App

This is my go to App for weather. You get current and future radar, a 10 day forecast and hourly weather data. It doesn't matter where you live, you can put any city in for a home city and dozens of other cities. Love it!

2014-05-06

Pretty Good For A Weather App Because...

I give it a 4 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ because it takes a while to load but further than that the app is GREAT it gives YOU Lots Of Options❗️Not like the Today's news or those top classes apps news. I love it❗️It's awesome. It has great tracking it shows everything u want it to. Even u can auto choose ur location 😄😃😀😉

Have A Good Day❗️

P.S I really don't rate apps but this app I will consider rating the app❗️That's how great it is❗️

2013-04-29

great app!!!!!!!

this app is awesome. this is the best local weather app that I have ever downloaded.

2013-01-31

No School Closings?

Can't find the school closings. Uninstalled.

2013-01-29

Great app

Only 1 complaint there is no iPhone 5 optimization! Please fix!

2013-01-22

Could use some work

This was great for the blizzard -- handy radar map, hourly and 10-day forecasts, clear notices and text for severe warnings, and video of recent weather segments from TV. But there is no windchill reading -- not great on a day when the WC is -15° (which I only know from going to a different app). Many of the News link also seem to be broken and just lead to a blank page.

Has potential, but in a competitive field it needs work on the above.

2012-12-20

Very impressive

This app is by far one of the best weather apps out there. Ones I have paid money for are not even this good plus this app is local and free!!!

2012-12-19

Impressed!

I'm a bit of a weather geek, so I love checking out weather apps. So far, this one is incredible! I love all the features. Very informative and works smoothly and up-to-date so far. (I've only had it a few days)

Best weather and storm track app

I have used many weather, and storm track apps. I currently have 5 on my I phone 4. This is by far the best of any I have used. Besides showing more details on current and future weather. It has an outstanding display to show you where storms are predicted to go future-wise. Extremely easy to understand, fun to play with. There is currently a snow storm possible heading my way, so ill give it a full test. Aside from that, I grew up watching meteorologist bob lindmeier on channel 27. I find him to be one of the best meteorologist's out there. So the added up to date video's of him giving the weather forecast, and explaining the storm patterns, is a much added benefit. He really know's how to explain the weather.

The only two problems I find with this app, and would like to see one thing added.

1- when watching the videos if I turn my phone sideways, and let the video go to the end. I will get stuck in a black screen. Touching the screen does nothing, nor turning it upright. I use the home button then reload the app. This is on a iPhone 4, possibly just a bug, happens to lots of new apps.

2- I would like to see a way to share the weather/storm alerts. On my other apps I can share the weather alert to Facebook or email even text on some. This would be helpful in sharing weather information. I couldn't seem to find any way to do this.

All and all great app!

2012-12-12

Works Very Well & Is Accurate

I find this app works well on the iPhone 4. During our first snow fall of the season, this app showed where the snow was and where it was going. This app will be very useful during bad weather!

2012-12-07

No iPhone 5 Optimization

The app is perfectly serviceable. I am disappointed that it is not optimized for the iPhone 5's larger screen.
