Notifications need to change
While I leave my phone on silent majority of the time, I turn the sound on at night in the event of severe weather. All apps I’ve ever used had a sound as it’s notification system. This app uses a voice. Not a good idea to be asleep and hear a man’s voice wake you. As a male this startled me. I can only imagine if someone lived alone and a voice woke them up. Needs to be a sound.
Exactly what it says
I love this app and it’s exactly the same as it describes to be and it’s a great and dependable way to get the weather where you are or where you want to set it and I’m not sure what the low ratings are about but it’s definitely worth downloading and using in my opinion. It has to be set and if you don’t know how to do that then it will not work for you however that’s not the problem on the apps end.
CC
Get rid of the Close Captions! This WDRB weather app does not give the user the option of turning off their close captions. It should be noted the WDRB NEWS app gives the user the option of turning off the close captions but the WDRB Weather app doesn’t allow the user to turn CC off. So inconsistent between the 2 apps. Frustrating!!
Poor weather summaries
What vexes me most about this app is the way too concise daily forecasts. They use vaguely worded one or two word descriptions that offer no specifics. I’ve brought this to their attention in the past but it always falls on deaf ears. The Wave 3 weather app is much more specific and detailed. To the mets at wdrb, do better!
Beware of inappropriate adds
Okay APP for weather especially for the Louisville area and surrounding region, but recently noticed adds with pictures of immodestly dressed women. I understand there needs to be revenue to support the effort to build, maintain and improve the APP, but selling out to the evil of mainstream marketing which has no moral or ethical grounding… no good. Deleted.
Changes are awful
I’m not sure what changed but the radar does not work anymore. It defaults to the entire country instead of zoomed in on my area. Then once I zoom in the radar glitches in and out and disappears completely
Updates made this apps radar useless
Whatever updates were performed caused the radar portion of this app to be completely inaccurate. I would normally use this app for the radar to see where we are in a storm. The radar shows sunny sky’s in a complete down pour. Garbage.
