### 3/5 — Recent Change

*2024-01-27*

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.

### 2/5 — Detailed forecasts not so detailed

*2024-01-17*

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.

### 2/5 — Bob’s Circus !!!!

*2022-07-23, version 6.8.0*

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.

### 3/5 — Inconsistent

*2021-02-04, version 6.5.0*

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?

### 2/5 — Not working

*2018-08-24, version 5.0.0*

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

### 3/5 — I'm not able to listen to anything

*2017-09-10, version 3.16.2*

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

### 3/5 — Not enough forecast

*2017-07-04, version 3.15.6*

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.

### 2/5 — Satellite view is gone

*2015-08-14, version 3.8.0*

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. ⚡️

### 3/5 — OK, but not great

*2015-06-07, version 3.5.1*

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

### 2/5 — This isn't a Weather App

*2015-06-01, version 3.5.1*

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.

### 2/5 — Location

*2014-06-19, version 2.0.20140605*

It has a hard time finding my location.

### 2/5 — Great App until you changed it

*2014-06-18, version 2.0.20140605*

Ever since the update the app refuses to load on my phone.  Frustrating enough to delete it.

### 1/5 — NBC2 WX App

*2014-05-15, version 2.0.20140429*

Agree with most of the other reviewers. App is slow to load and times it doesn't load. The old app never had these issues. Hope a fix is in the works.

### 1/5 — Why Change a Good Thing?

*2014-05-14, version 2.0.20140429*

Never had a problem with the old app. With the new updated version most of the time it will not load, I cannot get the radar to display, and it just sits there constantly trying to load.

### 2/5 — Going Backwards!

*2014-05-10, version 2.0.20140429*

Loved the old app. Miss the one tap to get radar. Replace the button plz.

### 3/5 — Forecast iffy

*2013-08-28, version 1.0.20130815*

Map is very good, forecast is usually not even close, alerts are handy if they come through in a timely manner

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Only a static app

*2024-01-15*

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.

### 1/5 — Sporadic/Bugs

*2024-01-12*

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.

### 1/5 — Does not work in landscape on iPad

*2022-05-13, version 6.7.4*

Only opens in portrait mode

### 1/5 — Poorly working app

*2021-06-23, version 6.5.0*

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

### 1/5 — UPDATED: Crashes every time it is opened

*2020-07-28, version 6.4.0*

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.

### 1/5 — Blog problem

*2019-08-02, version 6.1.1*

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

### 1/5 — In portrait mode now!

*2017-05-22, version 3.15.4*

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

### 1/5 — Changed to long view hate it now

*2017-05-16, version 3.15.4*

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

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2014-06-17, version 2.0.20140605*

App never works & when and if it does takes way to long to load.  Do not download this junk

### 1/5 — Fix your app!!

*2014-05-17, version 2.0.20140429*

Ever since the update this app will not load whatsoever except for radar. Wether it's on 3G or wifi, DOES NOT WORK

### 5/5 — Good

*2017-01-29, version 3.15.2*

It's good app.

### 5/5 — The Best!!

*2012-10-25, version 1.0*

Great App!!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2012-06-16, version 1.0*

This app is better than the apps from the nationally known weather outlets

### 5/5 — Clarky2000

*2012-05-16, version 1.0*

Sickest one yet! I'm a roofer and constantly checking the Doppler and weather!👍👍

### 5/5 — Mr

*2012-05-01, version 1.0*

Very nice app. User friendly.

### 5/5 — SW Florida Residents' Best App

*2012-04-29, version 1.0*

The only thing I'd recommend to improve it would be to increase the radar animation time from 20 minutes to (preferably) 40 so users can get a better idea of how fast rainstorms are moving into the area.  Otherwise no complaints!

### 5/5 — User

*2012-04-27, version 1.0*

Love this app!!! Especially the radar!!! Easy to use, quick to load. Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Finally a good weather app for SWFL

*2012-04-27, version 1.0*

The radar in the NBC2 News app was good, but this rocks! You can zoom it right down to your house, just like they do on TV. If having access to a real radar in SWFL matters to you, you need this app!!

I like the scroll bar on the forecast page too, that's slick. Good job NBC2!

### 5/5 — Great Weather App

*2012-04-27, version 1.0*

I love how user friendly this app is!

### 5/5 — Excellent is an understatement

*2012-04-26, version 1.0*

Perfect app all SWFL weather at your fingertips literally. Doppler A+. NBC2 great job!
