Ruined

This used to be the BEST weather app. Now I’m deleting it. You blew the features I used most and now I can not get same information I used to get. Put it back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Actually deleting this app after writing this review.

Doppler Glitch

For the last few months the Doppler tab has a glitch. When attempting to play the image in 24 hr mode, it stops moving at about the 12 hour mark. The bar at the bottom continues to move but the rendered video playback of the weather pattern stops moving.

Please update app!!!

App needs to be updated…the radar is not correct, especially with the storm direction widget, and now I have to go to other weather/storm apps to see where the storm is and where it’s headed. I work with animals so I need an accurate radar so I know where rain is or where it’s headed before I decide to walk my clients dogs.! The radar used to be the best one! Please fix!!!!

New Radar is ruining the app

The new radar page interface is ruining the app. Instead of an interactive overlay radar which can play a Timelapse of past and future radar images we get a live view only. But it’s ok. I get to see where highway construction is. Because that’s what I need on a freaking weather app.

New update is not good

They just updated it and took away the feature where you could look at the past radar so now this is a worthless app

Not ADA compliant

I have my phone settings set to a larger font due to aging eyes, and this makes everything in this app truncated. Nothing scales, nothing wraps, it just truncates so I can't see important information. When I search for a location, it only shows the first two letters, then "...", then the last two letters. For example Portsmouth VA shows as "Po..., VA"

Broken update

Loved this app. Update installed overnight. Now the radar doesn’t work anymore.

PRECIP PERCENTAGES DON’T MATCH DETAILED FORECAST

Precip % never matches detailed description for any particular day on iPhone. I have the latest version from Apple Store. Tomorrow says 70% chance of rain then forecast says only 40% in evening. Same for Saturday, 20% then 40% for daytime. On the Android version for my tablet it’s even different than on iPhone, totally different numbers. It also freezes and doesn’t open on Android tablet. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling but same issues. Seems like an old version, says 2015 under “about”. It’s the only version on the Playstore for Android. Totally inaccurate!

Was alright until the last update

Before the update it was slow and glitchy with an add every 2 seconds. The weather alerts barely worked. It would alert me that there were “severe storms” and it would be clear sky’s all day. Last week we had a Tropical Storm pass through and there was a tornado right down the road from me and no alert from this app. Now, after the update, I can’t even get the app to open. 10/10 would not recommend.

Inaccurate

How is the daily high 12 degrees lower than the hourly high of the day?

Wishing it had today dates along with the weather

How about putting in the today dates along with the forecasts that would be cool!!!

Awful

Can’t locate seven day forecast. From hero to zero. Cmon wavy, we’re in need of an accurate forecast. Not just Norfolk’s.

Inaccurate

It says a low temp for the day of 42°. Since 12:01am the temp has been in the upper twenties to low thirties. It’s now 7:24am. When do you think you might change the low temp?

Coolest weather app to date!

5/11/2019 - The format gives you everything you want to know in a finger swipe! Ignore the ads… they’re no worse than other apps. However, option to to purchase no-ads upgrade I would buy!

Can we bring back the old app?

This new app needs to go back. Can’t tell the difference between a severe thunderstorm watch/warning, tornado watch/warning. All is red, which makes it harder to tell the difference between a severe thunderstorm watch and a tornado warning. Severe thunderstorm watch/warnings used to be in yellow. Change it back.

WAVY 10 Weather App

This would be an excellent app if it wasn’t for the constant ad pop ups. Yes, I get it’s ad supported however I can barely get through one series of weather pages without the ads. Finally deleted it.

Downloaded and deleted...

Entirely too many adds for Climate Makers,Window World, and Mr. Roger’s Windows that you’re forced to swipe upwards in order to move deeper into the app. After awhile I literally started to feel like I was opening actual windows which is what I’d rather do to figure out what the weathers like as opposed to using this app one second longer!!

So many pop-up ads it’s nearly useless

I understand the idea of ads to help make money to cover the cost of maintaining the app.. but this is absurd. This thing is almost useless since every time I need to use it, the constant ads make it very frustrating and sometimes bog down the app to a point where it hangs up and I have to close it and try again. Ridiculous.
