Nice when it works
Constantly freezes when it switches to the weather tab. Even if you open and close it, it opens in the same tab and remains frozen. It’s a shot in the dark if it’ll actually work or not and most of the time it doesn’t. The weather notifications are nice but the story notifications are too much and you can have between 5-15 a day and it gets annoying. The biggest drawback as I said is the main thing I use it for, weather, rarely works.
Horrible
Locks up on startup! Junk Update, still locks up when opening, can’t you guys fix this??? It’s been years!
Heidi Award
After warning everyone to stay home Sunday because of weather. Sunday night you decide to report you were correct. Problem is there was a playoff game going into less than 2 minutes and a one point difference in score. Hope your news producer enjoys the Heidi award. Well deserved
It does not load half the time
The app won’t load data more than half of the time I open it.
Freezes constantly
I have had this app on my phone for years. It has never worked properly. It constantly freezes when trying too open app. I have deleted it and try bringing it back on occasion to see if it has been fixed. Nope. Still freezes. I have other weather apps on my phone and do not experience performance issues with them. It’s a shame the developer can’t get this fixed because on the rare occasion when it works, it has the potential to be a good app. Save yourself the frustration and use another weather app.
Recently
The app show several hours behind when I open for current weather. It’s almost 11pm and app shows weather from 4pm saying “Now”.
