Alert overkill

Dave804

The app is simple to use but there are some major irritating issues. If you can look past all the ad placements it is marginally usable. If you can get past how it slows the app down while your forced to waiting for whatever local businesses ad to load. But his biggest issue is the overwhelming amount of alerts you get from this app. Alerts are supposed to be for major things threatening things dangerous things. But not this app you get alerts when it’s sunny, you get alert every time someone changes a video, you get an alert about an alert. It’s horrible to the point that you just turn the alerts off which defeats the whole point of a weather alert app. If you need an app to try to trick people to watch you content and increase your viewership then you’re not doing something right in terms of your content production. Make the app useful for weather emergency alerts only

Notifications are too much

JumpFirstFearLater

Overall, I liked this as a weather app but the notifications are ridiculous. If you’re phone isn’t on silent, the “lightning near you” alert doesn’t just chime, it yells “we’ve detected lightning near you”. After the second time it woke me up in the middle of the night, I just deleted the app.

Just wow.

ZERO AZYLUM

I keep having to redownload the app because every week it does some really screwy stuff. Then when I put it back on it’s fine. I like to look at the radar then suddenly the radar won’t read the hurricane paths or it won’t notify me of dangerous lightning or anything. They’re falling apart over there at 12 and it’s obvious.

This app serves my purposes well. When the chips are down, or flying around, they really come thru. Channel 12 has a very dedicated and knowledgeable weather staff. Two important items I always grab when they are doing a broadcast with turbulent weather or tornadoes are my iPad and iPhone and head for the vicinity of my shelter. They keep me informed with all I need to know. They work great as a team. Keep it up gang. Robert Williams

Ads and Data Hog

Constant ads and this app must be running in the background, it almost put me over my data limit for the month. I am going to uninstall it. This is unfortunate because I really like the app.

To be or not to be....

What happened to the “Future” component of the map/radar? I used to have it available, and then it was gone. I love the app, but miss that part.

Newest update makes it almost great!

Looks good! And I’m super glad this app now rotates landscape! Thank you! I also like the notification circle when there are advisories. Would give it 5 stars if it weren’t for the ads! :) PS I’ve tried several other weather apps, but this has always been the one I’ve come back to for accuracy.

Snails pace slow

Ever since the new update it takes 30 seconds and up to even come up and give any information. It was always fairly instantaneous before. Fix this soon or will be switching to another weather app and deleting this one.

Annoying Ads

retiredatforty

You have an ad (which can’t be removed) covering the home screen. When the app pulls up, the first thing I always check is the current temp. Right now, I can’t even see the current temp. I’m deleting and reloading, but if that doesn’t fix the problem, I will be deleting permanently.

Too busy..

Update to below: Discovered location setting changes to FOLLOW ME when I’ve set it to HOME static location. This doesn’t seem to happen right away after resetting back to HOME. But it does after not opening for a while. I’m really disgusted with this update. Time to search for another weather app. I’m sorry to have done recent update. It was working pretty good before, and for years. I can’t see much improvement. I do see more ads. What is up with throwing up a video at the opening? All this seems to do is slow the app from loading. Please allow video as a clickable option. I think I can still remember how to do that thank you. As our phones get older (iPhone 6+ here) this only causes more slowdown, not to mention more bandwidth usage when unnecessary. Recent check I see no lightning showing up. I know it’s happening somewhere because I can hear static crashes on my HF rig. Anybody else having his problem? I’ve been pleased with this app for years. Not so much now. ?
