We’re excited to share it with you, and we can’t wait to hear what you think of it. Please rate our app in the app store and keep sending us your feedback to WVITdigitalfeedback@nbcuni.com.
The latest update is improved but still missing some key details and continues to be messy/complex to use. That dew points aren't shown on the main screen (why make us dig for such basic data) and no pinpoint location tracking available make this much less of useful resource. Both are there at a glance on other local weather apps. While you can have your current location shown that requires you turning on location tracking for the whole app and is only available for where you are, not for other locations you may be tracking. Your app has too much scrolling or clicking to separate pages. A few iterations ago you had a great app, not now. The NBC CT weather team has long been the best in the area and I hope it will continue to be despite losing its diversity with a recent departure with no sign that will change.
