User Reviews
This app has misleading headlines and is left leaning in their national news reporting. Be nice if it was just news. Not left or right.
This app is not working-it’s says there is a connection problem. Ever since I got my new phone 2 months now!! Straighten it out please
I don’t get it, I understand the need for revenue, but for every story you have to watch an ad before you can read it. I downloaded the app for its weather since we’re now into hurricane season, but then when I tried to read the news articles, I was inundated with ads. So much so I quit using the app.
Stories to share
Yesterday I noticed when I witch over to the radar it’s showing me Chicago. I’m in south west Florida. U til yesterday it always used and showed my location but now it’s showing Chicago. I will change it back to my location and if I exit out of the app it will return to Chicago. Please fix this.
I think the forecast is good but needs to have timelines on the app. One reason we look at apps is to see the timing of rain, etc. This needs improving.
I like your local news, but you need to separate the weather from the news, folks. Your app is no different from the mobile site. Live streaming doesn’t work on the phone. You need to really improve the app, you dumped way too much information in it, and It hasn’t changed in years. It’s time to figure this out. I always end up going back to wink weather app, it’s great app and I wish I can say that about your app.
Combining two stations, where you can only stream one is ridiculous. It may sound petty, but I get attached to my morning personalities. Now I cannot stream NBC. The ABC station lacks quality. From the cheesy anchors to the unsteady camera work on ABC, I prefer NBC. Also, the weather tab does not give the hourly forecast or the 7 day forecast. There is nothing up to date in the tab except live radar. If you fish for it eventually you get weather, but why not put it under the WEATHER tab?
Forced to upgrade to the newest version. After doing so, was required approve the updated user agreement. Got to the privacy part, which requires a separate click through, and it would not open the link. Any company unwilling to allow me to see their privacy usage, scares me. What are they trying to hide? What are they trying to steal from me? NO THANK YOU, I’m out. App deleted. Nice touch
They have either removed live weather radar or, because of the indecipherable menu structure, hidden it so well that I can’t find it. Mr Developer: the app souldn’t be written for your own use, but for normal usefs out there
