Update

Can we not the daily news at anytime of day anymore? That was what I loved. If I had a late night, I could wake up late morning and still watch the 5am news as well as the 7am news at anytime that day, even that night if I wanted to. I hope that feature comes back soon.

Don’t Try To Fix What Isn’t Broken

I’ve used the WFAA app for many years. Recently there was a complete makeover of it. Ever since, the radar is lacking, less details and options, more clunky and less easy to navigate. I am all for improving things, but in my opinion, it is now worse. I miss the easy and better weather pages!

Made Radar and readability worse

I’ve used the app for years and the old weather radar was not only more readable, but easier to process for other regions. The future tracking part doesn’t seem to work after 1-2 hours ahead and overall think it’s a bad feature. It takes longer to update now and the pure white is straining on the eyes. The app overall needs a dark mode. If it’s there, I can’t find it where most people would look for it.
