Dependable- helpful-love the app

Really appreciate this app. Totally dependable- sometimes to the minute for severe weather. I travel a lot and its helpful to know the forecasts in a variety of cities as well as the pollen count. Love the radar and the short video clips.

I love it and

Great App

I bought seven other weather apps and compared them all. This one was always accurate and easy to use.

Incorrect Temperature

I like the features of this app EXCEPT the reading for my towns temperature is consistently wrong -up to 10 degrees in error. In checking other cities that Im interested in, the readings there are correct. I cannot understand why my towns temperature is never even closely correct.

Get to the point.

I paid for the upgrade, but still have to scroll too far to get to the hourly forecast. I dont care about videos of other weather events around the nation, and they are woven throughout the app. It does have a lot of data, like hourly windspeed, which is a perk.

Easy to use and accurate.

Great App

Love this app , pretty much on the mark all the time. Use it everyday.

Excellent App.

I have used this app for a number of years and find it an excellent tool for local weather and when I take road trips. Keep up the good work.

Works fine

I like the app.

All you need to know wherever you are!

This app is horrible!

There is always a problem with maps! The forecast is almost always a 50/50 crapshot! Bring back John Coleman! Also the satellite map is horrible, its never correct. Very very disapointed!

Only One Reason I Keep...

...this app is for the Future Radar. The 15-Day Daily Forecast went from at-a-glance where you could tap on a day to get the details, to now having to hunt through details just to find the info youre looking for. Not to mention all the news stories scattered between all the important info you use a weather app for. I dont get me started on all the giant ads you accidentally hit just trying to scroll through the garbage. Seriously, TWC, you should be the best, but youre the worst.

Wrong information

This app used to be very informative and useful. Now it gives me alerts for areas across the country

Continual errors

With this latest update, I have had continual errors with the app starting and then suddenly closing. I also have issues with the radar live action or future not working. These bugs need to be fixed! I dont like the elongated scrolling or the numerous ads. I appreciate the weather notices but theres got to be a way to limit what notices I get over night. Otherwise, it is an effective app.

Overall good but some frustrations

Overall I like the app however there are a few things that are frustrating. No matter where Im at when I open the app it gives you the weather in your current location. I think a swipe to the right/left to obtain the current weather in your area would be good. When I open the app I am usually looking for the weather in my area where my house is. The swipe mechanism is always delayed and messes up and there is always 2 for my location...current and home location. The current weather is usually by current. Itll be raining and yet it says partly sunny. The allergy rating is confusing to me. Im not sure how they get these reports and how they seem to change throughout the day. The 15 day forecast is useless. They cant get the weather right for the current day. Stick to the 7-10 day outlook. It was always much more accurate. When you zoom in on the radar it is really delayed and doesnt show the weather moving until the end of the time lapse. Just some annoying issues with it. But I deal with it. It gives me the current temperature and Thad really all I care about.

Its great

Love weather info

Fix the videos!

The Lift videos are prominently featured but are excruciatingly difficult to load and watch. At less than 1 minute each in length they take about three times that long to endure the stalling ads that run before them and then videos themselves stutter and stall. This happens to me only on TWC content. Fix it or fire your app developers.

Difficult to navigate.

This new version is difficult at best. In order to get to the weather I need I have to scroll past weather for parts of the country that Im not interested in. Then videos start playing and it is just plain annoying. I just want the hourly forecast and a decent radar map. Apparently that is too much to ask for. Ugh!!! I want the old version back.

Love the updates!!

From allergies to severe weather, this app helps with it all!

Not user friendly....

Inaccurate info (April snow in Florida?!), important screens (radar) difficult to access, too much scrolling through content not needed (videos)! Missing the individualized backgrounds, too.
