Frank’s Weather Forecast

We are very pleased with Channel 2 News weather reports. Every metererologist is very knowledgeable, thorough and concise with their reports on the effects of Hurricane Harvey. We have been glued to the TV each time they have an update on the storm. Excellent work to say the least! Always a pleasure to watch each one of them! We are blessed to have them work for us! I thank the entire staff at Channel 2 for keeping us informed, so that we can plan each day accordingly. Thank you all for being such great friends we can depend on!😍

I like having quick access to current weather conditions through the maps and radar. I often use this app to check weather conditions before we leave to go swimming at the local pool. If there is a way to remove the blue menu bar on the right side of the screen, that would really improve our use of this app. The menu bar obscures 20% of the viewing screen and contributes nothing to our understanding of the current conditions. If the menu bar could be removed while viewing the maps and radar feedback, that would be great. Maybe a swipe left or right to add or subtract the blue bar? Also, I don’t like moving ads on the screen. They are annoying and distracting. I realize you need to have ads to support the website, but the moving ads are irritating and counterproductive to many users.

The media and the Good Samaritans have been the heroes during this unprecedented weather event. The local governments and our first responders have also been working to help people in distress but overall the govt at all levels does not seem to have prepared for the worst. All the journalists and the media have been braving the weather conditions and shining a light on all that is going on keeping us informed as this major weather events have unfolded. The role of global warming and the extreme nature of weather events was not discussed but these events will likely become common weather events as our globe continues to heat up and urban areas expand. We are very grateful to Chanel 2 and all media helping us to keep us informed with the help of their meteorologists who have been absolute heroes. Hats off to Frank and his crew. You guys were absolutely the best. Thank you so much for all you do.

I miss the earlier version’s opening page. I could choose the location that I needed to look into, check the current conditions, tomorrow’s forecast, and the ten day forecast —all from the initial page. This version makes me work harder to get that information, and I don’t think that the addition of photos and/or videos is a good trade-off for that simple clean design. I realize that younger users (I’m 68) love pictures, and other bells and whistles, etc. However, I find an image of a person with an umbrella less than informative.

The ONLY weather app that always start with full screen image of the meteorologist that hangs on for a few seconds. This is always followed with the app crashing on my Phone X. I have then to start the app again, which then works fine. This happens all the time. Do I really have to get my phone out of my pocket several times each day (and night) to check for important notification just to find that this app is telling me “ great weather” or “the dry weather continues” or “mild rain close to your location” .. I allow notifications only to know about severe weather. I got rid of this problem by disabling notifications. I keep this app only because of the live radar is good.
