The Weather Channel - Radar

About a month ago, early March, you published an update and pushed the application back to the Stone Age of iPad applications. You crippled the screen rotate capability that earmarks a state of the art iPad app functionality. After trying the new app for a month, I finally gave up and cancelled my subscription. None of your update histories advertised you froze the app into landscape mode. I went to the Apple Store thinking there was something wrong with my iPad Pro 512k. When I complained to you, you replied that it gave the user a more immersive experience. Whoever sold you guys that line of thought really wasn’t aware how incorrect it was. Previously, all the functionality and data was at your fingertips in whatever mode the user was. Weather on the go in portrait mode to get weather at a glance (or more detailed data) or sitting with a keyboard in landscape mode at a desk doing editing and graphic work. So, I tried it for a month. I noted three days I used the app to see weather data associated with storms. The rest of the, three or for times a day, I didn’t bother with the useless time robbing app and went to the Apple Weather app and others that I didn’t have to whip the iPad around to squint at the, now clunky, non-intuitive, time consuming, screens. You really messed up an absolutely fabulous app. And this issue had nothing to do with the massive amount of advertising in the free version everyone complains about. I was a premium paid user until now.

That’s why I like it. And usually showing the latest. Ari is exceptional as are the women. The current explanation of phenomena is well done. It walks a nice tightrope between the scientists & the non Gives a good overview of many current events across the globe. Plz stop lumping all extreme events with climate change. It is too close to climate crisis which we are NOT in. Ensure your readers understand we are seeing more “Named Storms’ - because we can detect them now. And statements like “ it’s the worst in history “ are very misleading. We’ve only had good data for the last 100 yr- and records from the 1800’s are patchy across the world. And you well know 100 yr to the Earth’s systems is not even a blink. You should be knowledgeable enough to state this more clearly. OCT22 Thank you for describing weather events in terms of actual historical dates. You have done a good job of steering clear of the word “crisis” which is still debatable. You know the Anasazi abruptly left Mesa Verde in CO 1200 years ago- we still don’t know why. Must’ve felt good to be able to say the extreme drought now in the SW did in fact occur 12,000 years ago! Keep up the good work. I rely on you to monitor both my home , barns and greenhouse to determine what I must provide in terms of heat. I cannot remember but is their a more effective way to describe barometric pressure? Since I can remember while living in S New England it has never dropped below 29 nor gone above 30. Who reads decimals? ( I’m 70). Thanks!!

4I give this app 4⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ stars, because the weather temperature and rain alerts are NOT accurate, at least where I live. First, I've had this app for years and it ask me to give a review and when I tried, it said I have to purchase it first. So I had to delete it and all my settings I had just to write this review. Second, the temperature isn't accurate! No matter what thermometer I use, and I've used 3 different digital thermometers and 2 mercury thermometers and there are supposed to be 2 weather stations close to my home and both readings are always the same, even though the locations are supposed to be different. The temperatures I get close to my home (from The Weather Channel) are constantly, approximately 2-4 and today 6 degrees higher than than all the readings I personally get from right outside of my home(in the shade). During really cloudy weather, I constantly get rain warnings and at least 90% of the time there is no rain, showers or even drizzles. when this app says there's a 20% chance of rain, there is NO rain. A lot of the time when the forecast says 50-60% chance of rain, there is NO rain and sometimes there are blue sky's overhead. I don't even know why I look at the forecasts from this app. The Weather Channel, wants you to pay $3.99 EVERY year for no ads. It should be a one-time purchase for no ads! I might think about paying for no ads if this app was somewhat accurate. I live in Southern California.
