Very poor performance
App freezes and locks up all the time. Keeps opening adds, and when add completes you can’t return to where you wanted to go in the first place.
United StatesUsed to be the best of the local weather apps…
Not anymore. The app is now infested with ads. The ads have ads. The app is a cluttered mess and loads slow when internet speeds are either slowed or coverage is lacking. You’re better off with an old school weather radio than this app when the carp hits the fan. The notification alarm may go off, but if the rest of the app doesn’t load, good luck.
United StatesStopped loading
Have a new 5G Apple phone. The app won’t load on 5G or Wi-Fi
United StatesAndroid version is better!
I just got an iPhone an have always used this app on my android. I expected it to be similar or better with the iPhone accessibility features. I was sadly wrong. Your new white background is not helpful for people with vision problems such as white background. No satellite view like android so either deal with white background and hope to get the info or use a different app. I’m glad I still have a android to use that app.
United StatesNot sure what others’ issues are
After seeing the reviews and frequenting WOOD’s desktop website (an absolute mess of ads to sort through before you can even get to any useful content), I had low hopes for the app. I’ve never used the previous app so I have no comparison. I currently use MyRadar and the on board Apple Weather app. This app seems fine? There’s a small banner ad at the bottom and all the content I want is easily accessible. My only qualm is that even though we’re currently in a sever thunderstorm warning, my alerts tab was empty. However, I JUST installed the app, so it may be that there just wasn’t enough time for it to load in. Give it a shot. Others may just be nostalgic for another UI or debilitatingly lacking in tech savvy.
United StatesIs an app for making money out to provide a valued service? This version proves you can not do both!
This version of the app is “not user friendly” I use to love this app, now I find it hard to navigate and the ads are i frustrating. When you finally get to the area you need for a quick and fast look because maybe you are working, this ad pops in and the close out x is so small that you end up opening the ad. Iam not joking but I nearly have thrown this phone through the wall a dozen times due to this very app. Let me give a significant suggestion to making your audience happy. Most users are not going to your site with the intention of staying on it and watching videos or reading stories or blogs, although an option for these is nice if you want further detail rather they are looking for the quick glance at the current weather conditions and then transition quickly to glance at the weather radar. Make these un-inhindered to slow the user to pop open the app (the earlier version would start with this page if you remember) and make the radar the next easy click to navigate. Try to keep the ads from full pop ups, if you have to have them put them in the periphery. Also ask yourself this question do e we provide this app to me money or provide a service to our viewers. Because thus current version and the last few years have proven you can’t have both!
United StatesTrash
If you read reviews for the past couple of years you will see a theme. This app used to be great, and now it is Hot Trash. The old version 5 was GREAT. This new version 6 is, well, Hot Trash. It is like they scrapped the sleek Mercedes Benz and replaced it with a Ford Festiva with every inch covered with bumper stickers and the interior filled with gravity compacted fast food take out bags.
