WHIO Weather Reviews

Not as good as Others

agmilliron

I find this app very disappointing in that it's difficult to navigate and poorly laid out. I prefer several others to this app, as they give much more information and details. Some are actually interactive. I had hoped WHIO's app would offer so much more... specially since it's local.

Not bad

Pretty good weather app. Could use some improvements though. the ads are also pretty annoying

Updated Review

I had deleted this app because I wasn't getting the warnings. I reinstalled the app this morning and I got my weather warnings (4-8-2015). The app now appears in the locations services area and that was the problem.

Need to change some things

Need to change the app setting to where it only uses my location while I'm using the app. I hate apps that use my location in the background. I deleted it before because of this very reason! It drains my battery when I have to leave the location on. Only downloaded it again for the weather moving in tonight. After which I will delete again!

Great app

The previous version of WHIOWeather was fine. It wasn't *great* per se, but aside from having to tap the "<" chevron a few times to see the basement menu, there weren't huge problems. The newest version, however, is full of them. The main forecast screen is so visually busy that it's hard to parse anything. While having the current forecast video front and center (not to mention, actually in the app) is nice, having the current host's bust be 25% of the screen is a downright awful decision for any iPhone screen size. Rich and Eric and everyone else are great meteorologists, but currently, I'm having flashbacks to Clippy in Microsoft Word. Likewise, while the interactive radar is much better, the Live Doppler 7 HD stream (and I assume 7 Weather Now stream as well) ALWAYS having an ad auto-play is insulting and a dangerous decision when it comes to trying to determine where storm cells/lines are ASAP (since the interactive radar is still not an actual live radar). The ads at the bottom of the screen were bad enough, but fine, free app = ads. But I literally just got redirected to Trivago's app store page, which never happened in the previous version. While the layout could honestly stay the same, please at least remove the auto-play ads at the beginning of the livestreams. 7Weather Now already has ads on it, and the app is the only way to view the live radar livestream. I've honestly gone back to the previous version, and I hope the current version is fixed by the time the previous version is deactivated, similar to how the previous WHIONews app supposedly doesn't work anymore. I'm sorry for the long, negative review, but this updates is so disappointing. Stormcenter 7 is the only local weather team I respect and trust, and I honestly expect a better app to reflect their work.

Greatly improved in this release

The WHIO weather app has been greatly improved in this release. Its contents are better organized. It's graphics and layout are much improved. The design of the radar is better, less confusing. Access to WHIO feeds on Facebook and Twitter are retained, a big plus in this app as it means that you can use it to get traffic updates as well. And, of course, you can still specify multiple locations in addition to your "current" location. This version of the WHIO Weather app is well worth the download.
