I absolutely hate this new version of the app. It automatically updated on its own and it's awful. My husband still has the normal version of the weather channel app on his phone and the forecast don't even match up with each other!! I tried to Uninstall and reinstall to see if that helped and it didn't. Plus when you go to the app store it shows you the previous version in all the photos not what it's actually installing. Its not accurate at all!! Going to find a new app if not fixed soon!!

Is it possible to regress this thing back to when it actually worked? Since the UI change, it has consistently hung at least 4 times per day, telling me that something went wrong. This happens even when it is the first app to be opened after a reboot, or the phone has been on a few hours. Doesn't matter. Good signal or poor. Wifi or cellular. Granted, the old UI was dated, but at least it worked. This is now just a pretty brick.

Can't read alerts. Don't get the alerts even though I'm signed up for them. This update did not help. For instance, right now, my area has a weather alert. When, I tap that alert, it is nowhere to be found inside the app. Additionally, I am no longer receiving notificationa for weather alerts despite th being turned on in the Settings.

Hi Christy. Thanks for writing. For clarity — do you mean the notifications sent to your phone, or the severe weather alerts within the app? What's happening when you try to access them? Hopefully we can help fix this for you if you share further details. Many thanks!
