HATE the new update!!
As some have said before, with the new update you can’t see the severe weather overlays. I have used this app faithfully for years, but will now be looking for a new app. I’m so confused as to why they would update and take away key features that made the app great. Really terrible decision.
Please add “feels like temp” to Hourly for iPhone
I believe the Hourly view on the iPad shows you the “feels like temperature” as well. That’s an extremely important number these days. Please add it to the iPhone version. I personally think you have room to add a column. Or you could add a setting to pick which columns to show. I’d rather that than wind direction. You could also allow the app to rotate to show all columns in landscape view.
keeps crashing, cant open it
yep
Crash
I’ve used this app for years with no problems. Now it takes forever to open and every time i switch to the daily forecast tab it crashes.
I don’t understand the low reviews
If you live in Baton Rouge metro, this is the best weather app on the planet for you.
Terrible update!
I can no longer get the past and future radar loop. You can’t overlay warnings. I don’t even see the ability to get tornado warnings anymore. And the traffic portion no longer has the find me feature. They took a decent app and made it useless. I hope they didn’t pay someone for this.
Great App. Only Wish It Had Widgets
I just wish the developers of this app would make widgets for it. I only trust WAFB WX as my source for weather and to have a Home Screen widget that I could just glance at for current temp and low temp that would be a 5 star move. Thanks in advance.
Too much of the picture!
My biggest complaint is waiting for the app to load and having to look at the same picture routinely. Then if you decide to check something else after just logging out, you have to go thru the same thing again, even if only out for an instant. The other thing that drives me crazy is the infomercial they constantly do for it when you’re watching the darn weather on their newscast!
Ads ruining it
You’ve rendered the app almost useless bec you’re too worried about ad money. Hourly section gets stuck on ad page with no way to x out, and radar page not loading data bec ad bar at top gets stuck trying to load. Do better. We need this info.
App freezing fixed
The latest update appears to have resolved the intermittent app freezing. Thanks!
used to be good
the update they just did sucks doesn’t even have a current radar only past or future it was fine the way it was
Needs improvement
Videos need improvement Can’t look at videos sideways and flat, have to turn phone sideways and hold it like binoculars to keep video from flipping back
Need help
My app since update days mot available in your area disappointed need this for when the storm hits
Great app but..l
Most of the time it freezes and won’t open. We need a fix, please b
Always wrong!!!!!
The meteorologist at this station is always wrong about the weather! I awoke this morning to an alert of a heat advisory and it’s been raining all day! How do the people really get a check for being wrong 80% of the time! This app is JUNK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like it needs work
Really really badly needs work on the UI its very clunky and hard to use needs a bunch of bug fixes to for the last month i havent even been able to open the app it kicks me off every time, i like the notifications and all but please fix the UI it is so god awful
Freezes
Last update has caused major issues. Never had problems before
NO WEATHER!!!
Since the last update, I can’t get it to work!
Crash
Every since app was updated when I click on daily, it closes I don’t get it. Please fix it.gets worse instead of better
Doesn’t open
The app is good ... when it works! About half the time it just locks on the front page with the weather people, then nothing happens and can’t move anything. So I have to go to WBRZ’s weather page. Too bad.🙁
Freezes sometimes
Since the latest update have been having intermittent issues with app freezing when trying to open. Looks like it needs another bug update
App not functional
Map is stuck on future view with no way to change it. The button is greyed out so no other view can be chosen.
Deleting app.
Gives basic weather info WHEN YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE IT SUE TO ADDS ON TOP OF EVERYTHING!!! Deleting this app and going with WBRZ CHANNEL 2 because of it So frustrating that you can’t see what you cans there for 80% of the time
Not working
The app does not open half the time. Seems as if it is stuck or something and no way to move from pictured staff. Location is on. App is good when it will open. Deleted and redone but still does same thing.
Needs fixing NOW!!
App insists on adding Baton Rouge. I choose Follow Me since I live an hour North of Baton Rouge. Deleting it doesn’t help. It just adds back. I prefer WAFB for severe weather warnings, but have had to resort to another channel. This happened about the time I started getting a dozen useless notifications on routine weather days. Please do an update quickly.
Too many ads
Too many ads and no way to purchase ad-free. Uninstalled.
Deleted Weather App!!!
Downloaded the weather app prior to severe weather event. NOW I'm getting "alerts" about routine weather, like the 'cool temperatures ahead for the weekend following high temperatures this week' I just received. Give an inch, they take a mile!
Bug
The radar view sometimes locks into futurecast when the settings are switched from precipitation to clouds or other setting then switched back to precipitation then saved. Returning to settings & toggling the modes can unlock the future mode.
