Not working

Happy to add another local weather app and radar to my phone, too bad it's not working. Don't know if it's my new iOS8 but not working at all. Fix and I will try again.
Misleading. Radar is not live.

Saw ad on Twitter marketing this as the only app with "live" radar. Not true. Radar updates seem to be 3-5 minutes apart..just like every other app.
Battery hog.

This new app. is decent with many useful features, but it is a real battery hog. When the location setting is turned on, the battery drains way too fast. But the location setting is needed to make the alert features useful. Even with the location setting turned off, the app. appears to drain the battery even when the app. is not active. I will remove the app. until it is revised to be more battery friendly.
App loads News 13 Web site

News 13 offers many news stories on a variety of topics. I get much of my local and state news and weather from News 13. I wanted and expected to like the app. Alas, I'm disappointed with the News 13 Plus app. I clicked on all the news stories. Each one loads the News 13 actual web site, ads and all. The text is very small and impossible to read without pinch and zoom in my iPhone. Additionally, the app does not allow for the user to double tap the screen to auto adjust the text. Additionally, the radar weather appears to be a snapshot or screenshot from their web site. The radar is not live. Other local news outlets offer apps with content within the native app and live radar. News 13 needs to transform its news and weather content to work in the native app and not act as a link to its web site. I will check back occasionally for fixes. In the meantime, I'll get my news and weather elsewhere (at lest on my iPhone).

I can not get this app to work. The first time I try to open it it comes up but no data and I cant click on anything. Every other time I try to open it all I get is the front loading screen. Useless waste of space on my already full phone.
