It’s worse than its flaky predecessor

Where is the sun and moon data? Open for less than 24 hours and it hangs. At least I don’t have to go to a menu to exit the radar. This thing is moving backwards.

More stupid stuff: it often does not update when brought to focus after being in the background requiring a restart. Also, on the Home Screen, white text over a white cloud makes the text all but unreadable. Did anyone actually test this thing?

Where is search

No search option that I can find

Bad update

Ever since the new update the app is 10000% worse than it ever was. It is not user friendly, it makes absolutely no sense, and the way it arranges weather alerts makes it impossible to follow which ones are active and what they are. The new update completely took user friendliness away. I have only ever used the news on 6 weather app but I will be deleting it and using one that actually makes sense and will show me what’s going on with the weather

Lost extra locations

I could have multiple locations (where our children live) where I could easily see what was going on there. I can’t find how to get anything except my home now.

Swipe between locations

Please bring back swipe to change saved location. Do not like having to tap on location to tap again and then tap to go back.

Where’s the widgets?

I like the latest update. Especially on iPad, where it now works in landscape. But, critically, where did the widgets go? Channel 6 is almost always more accurate for my area than Apple Weather, but without the widgets it makes it harder to check the weather regularly.

Not a fan

Liked previous app much better. New one is not user or senior friendly. Where’s the sunrise & sunset time? Vertical hourly screen was easier to read. Wish you hadn’t changed the app. It was great just the way it was & much easier to read.

Missing Dew-point temp

Don’t like new screen

Just not happy with the new view I can’t get to my other cities where I have family. I just don’t care for it. I prefer the other one you had I really liked.

New app

I really don’t like the latest version of this app. My opinion is that it sucks.

Weather

Bad for people with breathing problems. Left the dew point off it

Update

The new update is not as easy to use. I liked swiping through my favorites with the old version rather than the multiple clicks back and forth it takes on the newer one in order to see my different favorite locations.

Drains Battery

I have had this app for a while and lately I’ve noticed my battery has been dying before the end of the day. Once I looked at my battery info this app was using 30% of my battery in the background EVEN THOUGH I have “background app refresh” off. Not sure what has changed but I deleted it. It was making me think I need a new phone even though my battery health is normal. I’ll wait for improvements.

Bring back WARN Radar

Local WARN Radar no longer available on app. Why? It's still available on the News On 6 website. Please fix! For such a great team of meteorologists your app developer is not representing you well at all.

This app blows

Constantly kicks me out or won’t open when I click on it to see the weather

Needs update

Seems it won’t handle the slides to other cities. App needs some work

Recent update

I like the hourly forecast but there needs to be a division at midnight so the new day is evident. Scrolling through the new hours format it is now causes one to lose track of which date it is.

App

Definitely having some issues all of a sudden with the app I can’t switch to the other areas where I check other locations. I don’t know what’s going on with the app. I even checked to see if it needed to be updated but it’s current version you guys need to fix this because you’re gonna go to weather and I go to app and what if there were bad storms and I can’t even check.

Why won’t app open?

APP has issues opening at times… freezing or some other issue but very inconvenient when a funnel is coming!!

Slow Radar

Please fix the radar. When trying to play it it’s much slower than it used to be.
