WBAY First Alert Weather

The main reason I use the app is to see the radar and the approaching storms. I didn’t give 5 stars cause the push notifications are really slow, meaning, it’s been raining or snowing or even lightning for 10 or 20 minutes and than the weather app sends me a message that lightning or rain or snow has been detected in my area... I mean really? Are you sure? Oh wait I knew that 10 minutes ago. Other than that I like app.

The reviewer from March 17 has this exactly right. The previous version was perfectly fine. There was absolutely NO reason for a revision of this app. It worked fine. This is nothing but the typical case of changing something that didn’t need changing. I swear that WBAY changes their weather app because they are paying some developers and they try to justify their jobs. The changes to the new weather app make no sense. You now are assaulted with a meteorologist as soon as the app opens. People don’t want that. They use a weather app for weather stats. They are NOT interested in weather personalities. You are, but customers are NOT. Most of the changes are illogical. Smaller weather map(radar) with Meteorologist hogging the screen. It’s TOO cluttered and in your face. As the March 17 reviewer said, you obviously do NOT pay attention to feedback. Either you change the opening page and give more room to radar or I’m DELETING it. And I’ve had this app in one form or another for several yeas. I’ve had it, however, with these idiotic and unnecessary changes ! Btw, I went and downloaded some weather apps from other stations that were identical to the PREVIOUS Storm center 2 weather app. I liked them much better and use them more than this app. That should tell you about making these UNNECESSARY revisions.

I love the app. I like the radar because it gives you so much more info than most other places. Although, it doesn’t update very often. It takes 5-10 minutes to update the map and the map will always be several minutes behind from where you are now. Besides this, I love the app!

I used to like your weather app. I cannot believe you changed to the same very poor design that two Madison stations went to. Does no one read reviews? This is a horrible design. It doesn’t change to landscape mode, it takes a long time to load, it shows such things as moon phase and UV index instead of more pertinent weather info such as wind speed and humidity. Someone somewhere has built a design that is awful and must have one heck of a sales department because in spite of horrible reviews, new stations are switching to it. Very sorry you fell victim to the same terrible design.

The biggest thing about this app that makes it no longer a good app is that it is incredibly slow. It can take a minute or two to actually load. There is no reason for this at all. More graphically intensive games will load fast! I just want to get the forecast or check the radar in under a minute. The old version was so much better, fast stable and an overall better app.
