Audio
I have to shut down my phone and bring it up to hear audio. Also-i cant find you on you tibe streaming app.
Don’t care for the new update
I can no longer see the past to present radar. Now mine only shows the future radar, which makes it difficult to see the storms at the present time.
Poor excuse for a weather app
Using this app is dangerous. You cannot see the warning boxes, there’s a tornado warning right now and you can’t see it on the radar because there’s no contrast on the warning box, it just blends in with the radar scan. The watch boxes make it even harder since they color individual counties vs drawing a see-able box around a section of the state. Can’t watch a 10 second weather video without a 15 second buggy ad that you must watch twice because it glitches. The alerts push to the phone after the threat has passed. My recommendation; invest a few bucks and get WeatherScope. Even WSFA used it during a broadcast before.
One big problem
It sure seems like my location was a much more visible dot that the dim transparent blue dot that shows on the map. It is hard to see and nearly impossible to see if clouds or rain is covering it.
App is always buggy
I hate the application is always buggy. When I try to watch the video and change the screen to landscape view, it freezes and I have to Re-watch the ads. Then when I try to pause the video to zoom in on the times of the storms, the app freezes again, and won’t return to normal view. I have to shut down the app, reopen and Re-watch ads again. The application does not immediately open, there is a 8-10 second pause when opening the app. It is the only local app I can use for weather, so I have to keep it. The application needs work!
