  1. 5/5Not user friendly

    Can’t find where they give the hourly % chance of rain. Also when I am traveling I can change the app to show me the weather for that town. (Again, no hourly). Not a fan on how it is set up. I really liked the graph they had for % chance of rain in the old app. I know it takes a bit to get used to new things, but if I can’t get the local hourly weather then it isn’t an app I want on my phone.

  2. 1/5Awful experience compared to old WCNC weather. Look elsewhere

    WCNC said that they were getting rid of their weather app and that we should move to this news app. I gave it a try because I thought they were consolidating the two apps into a better experience still letting me focus on the weather if I wanted to do so and have news if I desired. That is not this application. To find weather information is MUCH more of a PAIN now. You are bombarded with ads, you have to scroll and click multiple things, your location on the weather map is not pinpointed, the problems go on. Also, NOTIFICATIONS: You could have all of your notifications turned off for everything except weather and you will still get news events! No offense WCNC, but the reason why we had the weather app was because we trust Brad’s weather information. I’m not here to read articles from your news reporters. If you want people to enjoy this app who were coming from the weather one, make the experience for weather super streamlined and easy just like in the old app. You can still have the News available, which I may look at if I desire. But when you shove it down our throats with the worst weather experience, what’s going to happen is people like me deleting this app and just using the iPhone’s native weather app. The whole point of the weather app is being able to get weather information quickly and accurately. This is the opposite.

  3. 1/5Give me back the weather app

    This app is horrible. I want to be able to easily look at the Weather for my area, not Charlotte as a default. I can set my town up, but I can’t set it as the default, and it still gives me Charlotte weather instead of my weather. The Weather app was able to do this successfully, and knew the weather in my town right outside Charlotte was often different than Charlotte itself. I want to see the daily and hourly forecast, as well as the radar. I want notifications related to severe weather in my area only, and there are too many ads popping up in the way. And put the forecast and weather articles at the bottom. I want to quick scan the weather, not have to skip long winded verbiage like in a blog recipe. Just give us back the Weather app.

  4. 2/5UPDATE: Notifications are annoying

    Giving this three stars because I can't get the notifications working how I want. I have all topics set to off in the notifications except for weather. But I still receive news alerts that I don't want. I would just block all notifications but I need the weather ones. This wasn't a problem when the apps were separate. Updating a year later. I had upwards of 30 notifications today. All were news alerts. One was about a contractor in Phoenix! Why do I care about that? I assume Tegna owns news outlets in AZ? Why do I even have this app?

  5. 4/5Love the app and the content

    I recently downloaded the WCNC app and have really enjoyed getting the updates throughout the day. Knowing what is happening locally is always important and I feel the content is well balanced. The initial reason that I downloaded the app was to try to bridge the financial updates given on the TV broadcast at the bottom of the screen to what I thought would be found on the app but I have yet to find that. I sent an email to the station but have not heard back yet. I’d love to change this to a 5-star rating if I could get that answered, please. Keep up the great work and I am a routine viewer of the TV broadcast at 5am and switch to the app as I prep for the workday.
