New Changes, Mixed Results

First of all, while the satellite imagery serving as the background will take some getting used to, it’s not bad. I bet that could be the source of some of the loading issues other isers have been complaining of though. Loading satellite data is notorious for taking a while. I do like being able to see lightning reports and forecast radar for the future so those’re a plus. I’m not 100% on the extra detail given to the Strong (green lightning), Hail (blue hail), Rotating (Yellow wind), and Strong Rotating (red wind) symbols though. It feels a bit too busy to look at. There is such a thing as too much eye candy. Someone not familiar with the app and/or weather maps in general may find it too confusing and too busy. Also, I am NOT a fan of the different color codes assigned to watch/warning polygons. Part of this is due to how the app used to be but it also has to do with traditional color codes. Red is typically reserved for Tornado Watches and Warnings. Suddenly seeing red polygons allocated for Severe Thunderstorm Warnings instead of the usual yellow/orange colors typically reserved for Severe T-storm Watches and Warnings is off-putting and confusing. I HIGHLY that be changed.
Used to be good.

New colors are horrible. Even difficult to find the lakes. Who has ever colored the water brown? Change it back!
WSBT is my go-to news and weather, but this app is awful now!

I’m tech savvy, but maybe I’m missing some things. Any time we have a watch/warning, it completely blocks the actual radar of the storm. I can’t set the transparency rate of the warning boxes, and it makes it hard to figure things out. Also, the red for thunderstorms is seriously throwing me off. Red, at least for our local stations, has always been for Tornados. I’m currently looking for a new radar app u til we get a new version. Or we get our old app back. Old version was 1000x better than the new.
Amazing App Works Nationwide

I’m a South Bend local who has used this app for a couple of years. Just recently on some trips around the US I accidentally opened the app instead of Weather Underground and everything started working from my current location. This app shows current and projected radar, and tracks several different kinds of storm signatures. The place I just left had a lot of hail and severe weather and the WSBT app did a better job of tracking the hail and rotations than anything local or national. I’ve always relied on it during emergencies and for daily weather in South Bend. Now I don’t see the need for any other weather app at all. Thanks WSBT!
Horrible update! A HUGE step back from what it replaced.

The satellite image now being used is VERY dark and VERY outdated. It is a satellite image at least 8 years old - not current. With as dark as it is, the cloud/rain overlays are much harder to see precipitation. Very poor update. I will be switching weather apps if this is not corrected.
Interferes with Kindle App

When trying to open kindle content it wants to open it with the WSBT app. Other than that, I use this app frequently.

I used to love the app, but since the last iOS update, the ability of the app to open is sporadic at best. I previously notified the station about this. I really dislike having to power down my phone and back up to use the app. Please do something to fix this.
PLEASE UPDATE !

Please, please update the wsbt weather app. I used it successfully on my ipad and iphone for several years. Now it won’t open reliably- usually not at all. I’m so disappointed to be losing access to the best weather team in the area. Do I HAVE to go to another online local weather source? Please fix it?
Great

I use five other weather apps and this one nicely puts all the information we need into one page. Wish the time display was appropriate for my currant location. Could not find the blue pin head to show compass direction. Over all this app is VERY well thought out!
