Empty radar

Useless. Nothing on radar during massive ice storm.

Appears no one is home

No recent reviews. No way it still rates a 4.8. Can’t even see any of the reviews I left. Wonder why ….

Too difficult to navigate and ads that hang

This new program is confusing to use, and has annoying ads that often won’t clear. I will look for a different source.

Changed

I used to like the hurricane app but now every time I go into your hurricane app, it tells me that I have to go into a hurricane app And when I do it, takes me back to daily weather forecast. Very disappointed.

From best to worst

I used to love their hurricane specific app. It was what I relied on every season. Then they merged it into this app that is just a nightmare to navigate. There are too many sub tabs that all sound too similar to each other. It’s not clear and upfront how to navigate to basic things that you expect from a weather app. The hurricane section (as is most of the app) is now more like a redirect to a website page rather than in app experiences. I wish they would bring the other app back and do some basic UX work on this app.

Poor hurricane coverage

News 6 is doing away with their hurricane app and rolling it into this app, but it far less informative and unwieldy to use compared to the dedicated hurricane app. I will pass on this app and look for a better hurricane app.

Horrible radar now

I was using this app every day during a storm to check future state. Now they took away the future radar and only shows current. Well, I know it’s raining right now with the wet stuff falling from the sky, what I would like to know is how long it will last and where the storm is moving to. Worthless radar now, I will switch to a different app with a future radar

Used to be great

This app was once my go-to weather app. It seems to get worse with each update though. The radar portion is less than useful (I don’t need to see where the storm has been, I want to know where it’s going). They have also made it more difficult to change locations.

Not what it used to be

Was a great Hurricane app . Now just an average weather app. Going to delete and look for something better for Hurricanes

Latest Update Horrible

The app has not worked properly since this last update. Previous versions worked great.

Consistently wrong

This app was amazing in the past. Now they don’t even try. It will say 80% rain all day even if there’s only a slight chance. You previously got a warning if rain was approaching. Now I get a notification after it’s already started raining. I’ve canceled so many plans by paying attention to this app only to find out I could have gone on the boat or the bike. I started using a different more accurate app so I could get back outdoors.

The redesigned update

The new update they did a while back now still makes this app simply unusable and made my family switch apps. Please graham digital please redo the design to how it was not to long ago, the whole company graham digital and every news app it owned wrecked it.

New update

The new update they did a while back now still makes this app simply unusable and made my family switch apps.

The previous versions were better!

I just got the new update. The previous versions were definitely more user friendly. I liked the app much better in the previous format. Since the update to the current format, the radar pictures barely even move. I liked it better before when I could bring up the app and instantly see the moving radar images for my location. The newest version also has much more intrusive ads that pop up randomly.

The UI Team Should Be Fired

Why is it, with all the negative feedback received, does this app get worse? You open the App and you get an ad. You click on Video Forecast and Closed Captioning takes up 1/2 of the phones viewing screen without being able to turn it off. You try to open the video for full screen viewing on phone and that’s not possible. If you click on News 6 tile, you “still” need the app to view the content. Why? When it could easily bring you to its website. Overall navigation makes me think you have non-tech people designing it. How about listening to us for a change? The best companies do.

Update 6.90.15

This update ruined the interface, the description saying “cutting edge” “best app to keep you informed” is no longer true. They used a perfect good looking effective wonderful app. If it isn’t broken don’t fix it, now it’s broken no longer worth my time to view.

Hate this new version so much

I’ve spent the last two months trying to find something to take the place of the old app. It was so intuitive, the radar was so easy to use, it worked in landscape. This new version is horrible. Messy, hard to find things, and I don’t know how you can not have a landscape setting.

Wooooooooow.

Not only was the app change absolutely the worst, but then you put advertisements on it?! You went from the best app to the worst. This is absolute leave it in the bottom of the barrel with the top off so it fills with rain that I can’t tell if it’s predicting or not then let the grass grow around it for years till it falls apart then throw out the pieces eventually worst. It’s so bad that I not only made one review, I came back for seconds.

Do Not Like New Version

I’ve tried to like it, tried to get familiar with it, but the old version was so much better. It had features that I used. I kept the app & still used it as my primary weather app even after I moved from the area. I am deleting it now.

Hate this new update!

I used to love using this app. The new update makes it user unfriendly. I don’t like the maps. I don’t like the breakdown by day of how the weather is going to be. I don’t like the radar tracking! There is nothing about this app. that is nice to use anymore. Please change it back to the way it used to look and function! It wasn’t broken so why mess with it!?!
