Needs Work

Just started using this app in place of a different local news weather app that began putting banner ads on top of content. 1- I did not see that happening on this app initially but now it is doing the same thing…big banner ad on top of present temperature under maps. I certainly get the use of advertising but I will never accept the misuse or overuse of it. Why would any app developer want to have ads covering their content….makes no sense? In reality, this app looks almost identical to the other app from a different channel….perhaps you are using the same service to create and source your weather news. 2- There is no way to contact Channel 12 for app support thru “help” on the app….no “contact us” at all. In fact I see no way to get to support under any links on the app. 3- Also your app provides instructions to rename a location but the renaming link is not where you claimed it would be.

As it stands, poor weather app unless ads are fixed so they do not cover content.

Feedback Regarding NBC12 First Alert Weather App Interface

Hello NBC12 Weather Team,
I am an iPhone user and a loyal viewer of your station, but I am very disappointed with the recent design update to your First Alert Weather app.Tapping the clock icon now forces me to choose strictly between "Past" or "Future" radar data. The app completely lacks a combined "Past + Future" radar loop, which used to be a seamless feature. Having to manually switch back and forth makes it incredibly frustrating to track active storms moving through Richmond.Please pass this complaint along to your app developer vendor. We really need the continuous, combined past-and-future timeline option brought back.

Thank you.

Traffic map showing wrong location

I use to use the traffic map feature to show me areas of heavy traffic. I live in Dublin California and the traffic map now shows Richmond Virginia. And there is no way to fix it. So the App has become useless.

Traffic

No traffic for outer viewing areas.

Your porformance

As always your report was very good!
