NOAA Weather

A weather app that gets its data straight from NOAA is a fantastic idea, but there are a few problems that need addressing. The current conditions icon is actually an icon for the forecast for the whole day, so that definitely needs checked out. In the location list, I couldn't find a way to delete the predetermined list of cities, which could be annoying. If these bugs were fixed, this could be a phenomenal app for weather, but as is, it's a bit on the buggy side.

I got this phone new a month and a half ago. Always had noaa on three previous phones and loved it. The alerts don’t go off unless you pay them. Sure you can pick up your phone and see tornado warning but no alert sound. I took my phone to Verizon and nothing is set up wrong. I’m a programmer but I went for a second opinion. Two of my past phones i gave one to my mother one to my spouse. Their alerts stopped going off recently when I put the same version I have on their phones. I swore by NOAA being accurate but since April I was outside when the wind started picking up. I looked at my app clear mild wind. It started darkening I started grabbing my things but couldn’t make it in my house in time before my metal arbor held down with five rebars and copper led lights went flying twenty steps from me and hit the tree next to me. 60 mph wind gust and a tornado watch was put on local weather

I used to think this app was wonderful, but something changed that prevents the radar animation from opening promptly. So now I check the forecast here and then go to the My Radar app for that picture. Also, the adverts: Some of them when they come on are LOUD! This is extremely irritating. I know you need to run adverts, but the loud ones I kill immediately! Thank you for the app, but for the long delayed or nonexistent radar AND the LOUD adverts you get two strikes.

Who wants an app that plays music and other sounds without warning as part of their ads? How does it work for people who are in an office environment and they don’t know that they’re going to be given in the ad with audio? Then the technology on the mobile app is clearly in need of work. If you look at the forecast and click on a day you are delivered words in a font size that has to be maybe a font size 1? Unreadable even with classes. Then there is the ultra conservative forecasting. How does that serve us? Often times precipitation is truly forecast within the last 36 hours.

Your wind direction indicator is pointing backwards. Weather vanes always point in the direction from which the wind is coming. So, an East wind would have the wind indicator pointing East, not West as yours does. This is elementary meteorology. Also, by listing today's low temperature as the overnight low for tomorrow morning puts today's morning low in yesterday's data. Today's low usually occurs this morning, not tomorrow. Both of these anomalies in your app have me wondering why you avoid these long-standing conventions.
