Won’t work

During the last 24 hrs it won’t work. You get a picture on the radar, but no weather info at all. When I try to adjust the scroll bar at the bottom of the map, it automatically closes the app. I’ve reset my phone, and ive looked for updates with no improvement. Please fix!

Radar Always Freezes!

I feel like the app is pretty accurate but the radar always stops about halfway through. The time keeps progressing but the radar images just disappear. This has been happening for a long time.

24 hour radar

The 24 radar always freezes. Other features are ok

Good while it lasted

I’ve had this app for years and it’s never given me problems. For the past 6 months, the forecast will only go up to 2-3 hours before it freezes and stops working. I’ve updated every update and have even contacted WECT through Facebook to address the problem. Definitely going to find another news outlet to follow. There’s no reason behind this.
