    I depend on this app for weather and local news but for past several days the weather radar is broken. Looks like severe weather and unable to find where to submit feedback. Removed app and reinstalled - did not improve.

    Can’t seem to get the radar to work. It’ll flicker and then disappear leaving me wondering if I’ll make it through my run dry or not lol.
  • Hourly forecast is broken

    When I pull up the hourly forecast to see stuff like temperature and precipitation, it shows “now” as several hours in the future.
  • Fails to launch

    iPhone 12 and this is the only app that consistently fails to launch. When it does the time on the weather map is 2 hours old. I have to close out and try to relaunch.
  • Last update messed up live Doppler 5 on the app

    Since the last update Live Doppler 5 doesn’t show anything. You need to swap to the regular radar in order to see approaching storms. Please fix this. The review won’t let me post pictures of the issue.
  • App Works On My iPad, but …

    By smonjar
    … dies on my iPhone 7. Goes black, and refuses to load anything. No apparent cure. When this occurs, I either have to reboot my phone or delete and reload the app. I prefer Ch 5 for local news, but I’m getting tired of the rigamarole.
  • Weather alerts

    Weather alerts no longer show on the weather page. What is the point of an alert, if you have to search for it.
  • Great weather content with the tiniest font you’ll ever not see

    Come on team. Let’s get more realistic and make the appearance universally friendly and display a tiny sense of thoughtful design. The temp by day is unreadable. User should be able to glance at a forecast rather than struggle to read 2pt transparent font. Form over function
  • “Still there” notification is annoying

    By Djx0708
    I’ve always had this app just for important news/weather notification. Recently I’m getting notifications asking if I’m “still there” and that they’ve “noticed I haven’t opened the app in a while”. Not a huge deal, but a little annoying- just wanted to provide the feedback.
