Weather forecast is wrong way to much

I work in the concrete industry so our job is based off the weather. This app when it comes to rain/thunderstorms is wrong 85% of the time. For instance just about a few hours ago they had a 95% chance of thunderstorms then I check the app a few mins ago it the thunderstorms is completely gone. I can understand being wrong by days because the storm could travel different path ways by then but getting it wrong by hours on the same day is bad. It been days when the app say no rain at all that it pours down and days that they say it will rain the day is dry. The app it self is cool for the features but whoever is predicting these forecasts needs help.

FOX 2 Weather Authority

They’re very slow to update anything when you get an alert. It’s already gone by if they’re gonna say you’re gonna get hammered by storms they’ve been done for 20 minutes you read into this what you want they need to step up the game. There’s better apps out there.

The iPad version is horrible

I have been using this app on the IPhone and IPad for years, possible since it was created. It is my go to weather app that I check everyday if not multiple times a day. With kids and activities, it helps me plan my days. But this version (I don’t know when it was updated) for the iPad is unusable. The spacing is terrible and makes no sense. I will continue using it for the iPhone but will be deleting and looking for a different one for IPad which is a shame. The one thing I don’t like about the iPhone version, how the screen width shrinks as it is opening up, messes with my eyes, but I just blink long til its over and all good. Please put some time into the iPad version and make it good again.

Interactive radar map is terrible

It used to be good. What happened to it?

Location

When I open the app it shows me somewhere else entirely where I’m NOT located. I have to keep deleting it and go to my follow me thing to where I’m exactly at on the map.
Please fix it.

Can’t see temp

Deleted this app because advertising banner is always covering where they show the temperature very annoying

What’s with the click bait ads?

The forecasts are pretty accurate BUT for an app that is supposed to deliver precise information, they ruin it with misleading, trashy scam ads. It’s not just one or two. It’s up to 20 per tab. Is this supposed to be a weather app or a scummy tabloid section?

Wish for better

The print is WAY too small. White print on busy background. Can’t read quickly. Hourly and Daily information should be easy to see without reading a whole page. The radar has too many functions and doesn’t show the future track on its own.

Appears way too small on iPhone

Giving this 2 stars because since switching from Samsung to apple, ai can barely make out anything. Even with all my accessibility preferences changed to larger font, larger view, this app appears way too small. Change this to adjust to my phone settings.

Please fix

Over sensitive. A good free app, but it always changes without touching the screen.

Locks up too often

I have had to uninstall and reinstall this app three times. It often doesn’t work during storms due to high demand with other users. I just deleted it for good, I have an iPhone 13. Plus the constant advertisements are nothing but an annoyance. I would avoid this app.

What happened ?

Who messed things up? Every time you touch something on the home page it takes you to some where you don’t want to be. When you are viewing the map, and enlarge it the timeline disappears. This App. was not broken, so it did not need fixing. Please put it back the way it was.

Accurate but….

It’s the most reliable weather app I’ve used.
HOWEVER - I will be using my phone and a voice blurts out “severe weather storm warning” at the same volume as my ringer when the phone is not in use. Depending on your ringer volume, be prepared for a good jump. Keep in mind the WEA alerts go through regardless if you have the app or not, so it’s a redundant, annoying feature.

Hourly bug

When trying to scroll the hourly from left to right it jumps to the Today page please fix this

Needs widgets

Why isn’t there a widget for iPhone?? I would like to have a widget to put on the screen.

Something got broke

When trying to scroll the hourly on the main page left and right it takes you to the hour page. A few other things too not quite right

Radar freezes

App would be 5 stars if it would keep freezing on the radar map. I’ve had to delete and reinstall a couple times for it to work properly.

Doesn’t work if vpn is on

I have some stored locations in the app. It just spins if I have my vpn on. Why? It’s not accessing location data when there are stored locations is it? Totally useless to have to turn off and turn back on my vpn.

Dew point

Why did you remove the dew point on the last update? It goes hand in hand with the humidity, please put it back!

Crashed

Fix the app. It was working just fine until now. Now it doesn’t want to work at all.
