I’m a daybreak er

Watch this channel every day especially early morning so I can plan my day

Sports

Nice update, but do you not report sports any longer? Where does one go to catch up on local or national sports within your app?

Bad app!

The 12 hour radar cycles the same weather every two hours. The temperature indicator obscures the radar in the location you want to look at. This app is so much worse than the original app.

App “update”

What a disaster of an app update! Background white is harsh, absolutely ZERO presentation/layout. Did you assign this task to first-graders? Hard pass. Just dropped WVEC as a local news source.

13 news app

Not sure I really like the new format. Especially the weather part.
It won’t stay on area I set it for. You have to click to many things to see what you want to see. It takes to long to get my specific information

Temp covers radar display

The newest update has the temperature over your location when looking at the radar and there is no way to remove it. You have to zoom in to see the precipitation over your area. It’s very annoying and unnecessary to have the temperature there.

App does not switch to landscape on iPad

I mostly use my iPad Air in landscape mode and the app doesn’t switch to landscape when I open it. It also doesn’t switch when I rotate from portrait back to landscape.

Video kicks on and at blaring volume

I would like to be able to open the app to a default weather setting because that is my preferred method of accessing information on the site. I get too many alerts about shootings in areas other than mine and accidents that don’t apply to me because I don’t drive. I haven’t discovered how to turn the settings off yet.

Thanks

Good reporting

Hangs iPad

I’ve been using this app for years and the latest update has screwed it up. On my M4 iPad Pro, it opens to a small screen, won’t expand and then I can’t close it out. Tried swiping it close and also using the red X in the upper left hand corner and it won’t respond. I tried to power off my iPad, but it wouldn’t let me, had to force restart the iPad to get the app to close.

Not for iPad

This new version of the app may be great for those using it on their phone. I primarily use it on my iPad and it has always been good. But the new version will only load in the aspect used on a phone, so it is sideways on my iPad. I can’t get it to turn and it is not convenient to read in the new format.

Great app

You look so comfortable today!

Girl, I just watched your 420 weather forecast and it was the best one I’ve ever seen you do you looked so comfortable. Stay away from those tight spanks because I call you the panting meteorologist because you breathe so heavily usually during your forecast but today you look so comfortable in that red sweater and black pants and please keep doing that because I loved your forecast. It was totally watchable

Love Craig Moeller!

Love this app and it’s real time coverage and the super bonus is the wonderful and talented Craig Moeller! He’s informative, yet natural in his delivery you can’t help but listen to every word it’s just not noise it’s news!

Weather

I look forward to watching Craig give the weather report every morning at 6:00 am!
Everyone there really does a great job giving the updates to what’s happening in Hampton Roads.

Thank you all!!

New App

I haven’t liked it as well! Almost every time I open the App, it tells me I need to download it. I can’t figure out why it keeps doing this, but it’s aggravating!
