Radar is too fast

Most of the time it starts with a big overview of the country. I often have to move it to where I’m at. The biggest pain is the radar is way too fast. I like the old map better.

From Hero to Zero

It USED to be accurate, it USED user friendly, it USED to help people stay safe. It provides late updates from the NWS tornado warnings, that is precious time that someone in the path of a tornado might not have. Of course, you’d have to even be able to see the warning! Guess what?! A tornado warning “box” is red, a tornado watch “box” is yellow, what color should take priority? If you guessed red, then you are officially smarter than whoever downgraded this app. Orange. The app decided that if there is both a warning and watch they’ll combine the colors and make orange. Because, nothing screams pay attention to this area like light orange in a sea of dark yellow. I am incredibly disappointed in what this app has become. Roll back the upgrades, nobody wanted this.

Poor recent update

The most recent update is awful. Radar defaults to somewhere in the NE US before quickly moving to local area. Why? The playback of past radar is too fast. It is much faster than it used to be and that makes it hard to follow the progress history. Hopefully someone at KLTV will recognize the latest update has issues and will get them fixed in a timely manner.

What has happened?

Used to be to go to app for weather. Nothing about the radar is good now. Not even accurate.
