Worthless, just gives current weather stats
This app is completely worthless, it just gives the current weather stats. No most recent video forecast, no weather radar. No point. Removing app.
In and out
When I first started using this app all was cool. For a while now your radar screen has been going in and out in and out and sometimes out for a long time??? or when I am viewing it, it fades in and out, in and out. Come on guys get your act together. I do hope that this is corrected soon or I will have to find another weather app.
Annoying Ads, More Accurate Weather
The ads are really in your face on this app, which is why I give it only 3 stars. I can barely stand to look at it. I’d give it at least 4 stars for weather accuracy, though. I have another local Austin weather app and in side-by-side comparisons find the forecasts to be more accurate on this app. This WAPP called for 100% rain and it indeed poured. The competition called for only 30% rain. On the other hand, the competition’s ads are on a subtle banner across the top of the screen, which is so much nicer. I would happily pay for a subscription to be free of the annoying ads in this app.
Waiting for Weather
If you want an updated weather forecast on the weekends you’d better wait until Monday morning and just watch the live show. I checked this morning (Sunday) for a forecast and the latest one available was from 13 hours prior. Just for reference it’s approximately 8:30 on Sunday morning when I write this. The broadcast had been on from 6am to 8am. No morning forecast pushed to the app so those of us who don’t like to get up at ungodly hours can see the outlook.
App
I love this app alot
Bogus Location Information
The app keeps adding Andover, MA as my default location no matter how many times I remove it. App is set to follow me. To fix it, I have to uninstall the app and reinstall it. No other weather or news app does that on my iPhone.
Weather reports often a day old
Fox 7 frequently on the weekend reports the prior day weather broadcast. I’ve repeatedly brought this to their attention but they either have a quality control problem or don’t care. It’s hard to rely on them during an emergency weather situation if the data is old.
