Recent Change

Worked fairly well on IPhone until a few weeks ago when something changed. Now the “Detailed Forecast” selection returns “Page Not Found “ instead of a video.

Detailed forecasts not so detailed

I have uninstalled and reinstalled this app and the detail forecast still shows “Page not found”. When you work outside it is imperative to know what the weather is going to be that day and even a few days ahead of time. Please fix this asap.

Only a static app

The radar aspect of the app has a crash issue. After the weather radar appears on the screen and the play icon is touched the app crashes. This had been an ongoing issue for the past two years. I’ve dumped the app and reloaded it and the problem still persists . The developers have no intention to address the problem even after they’ve been made aware of the problem. So all the radar images don’t move they’re just still or static.

Sporadic/Bugs

1. I work outside and start early AM so I like to watch their video clip of the last weather broadcast that was shown on TV (listed under “detailed forecast”). Some days they have it, some not. For the past week or so it just shows “Page Not Found” error.
2. I use an iPad and the Home Page and Forecast Pages always come up sideways & stay that way with no way to re-orient them.
3. The Daily/Hourly forecasts and synopsis often conflict with what was broadcasted on NBC-2 TV.

Bob’s Circus !!!!

It’s nothing fantastic as far as apps go ; while it shows the current weather on the radar and ETAs on weather arrivals it lacks information that the app says it provides. You have the option to customize the app but were it lacks is the area of accumulations and wind speeds . There’s a colored graph that assigns a different color for different rain accumulations and wind speeds but these colors aren’t assigned a numeric value to give you an idea on what your wanting to know. I’m glad it’s a free app cause I would be upset knowing that I paid for it and didn’t get the information that the app promised.

Does not work in landscape on iPad

Only opens in portrait mode

Poorly working app

If you don’t have WiFi or 4 bars on your phone it doesn’t work.

Inconsistent

This app works very well and consistently on my iPhone but not on my iPad. Once again it wouldn’t even open. So, I have to delete and download again to get it to function. What’s up with that?

UPDATED: Crashes every time it is opened

I got this app for up to date weather and Doppler radar. When it works, it’s very nice. However, it crashes constantly & is now unusable. I’m finding myself looking at dark sky and the weather channel apps more and this one less. It would be great if they fixed the crashing.

Blog problem

Every time I open this app and go to weather blogs, it opens to the various blogs. Whichever blog I choose this app kicks me out of the app. All other aspects of the app work fine. This problem started, I believe, in May. Please “fix”this issue soon. Please reply

Not working

When I switch to radar weather map it goes to Antarctica, I thought I was getting a blank screen until I started zooming in, disappointing may look for another app

I'm not able to listen to anything

It seems like the app is not playing any sounds along with videos. Other than that works great.

Not enough forecast

This app is ok for the radar, but the forecast is really lacking. The "forecast" only gives the daily high/low and overall rain chance. The NBC 2 forecast has so much potential, but they just put up the generic forecast each day. I wish it would include the personal information the meteorologists give on the news, like when and how winds may shift and where they expect storms to come up. Since I can't watch the news every day I was hoping this would be a good alternative, but I'm still stuck using the hourly forecast on other apps.

In portrait mode now!

What did they do to landscape mode?! Bring it back!

Changed to long view hate it now

The app went vertical and now I'm done with it.

Good

It's good app.

Satellite view is gone

This was our family's go to app for local weather but the satellite view is gone. WINK's app has it, so we now use it. Too bad, NBC2. Too bad for us as well. ⚡️

OK, but not great

Low-resolution radar. Pointer/bubble location indicator on radar map blocks your view of radar image.

This isn't a Weather App

Basically it's a home page with a bunch of internet links. Lo-res and slow to load. It does give you a one-stop location to access NBC's local weather web pages, but that's about it.

Location

It has a hard time finding my location.
