5/5App
If you watch the tv news on n channel 13 there is a lot of difference in the app forecast and what the actual on air person forecasts. Seems like someone or something would cross check the difference.

4/5Great weather app, but missing a few things
This weather app is accurate and really cool! The one similar to this one was really good too but it was black and white which I did not like. At least this one has color. It would be cool to have a live background for the current weather, that would make me like it even more. I’d give this app a 5 star rating, but the reason why I did not was because they don’t have precipitation and lightning notifications with sounds. The other app similar to this one did. If the producers created a live background and put in precipitation and lightning notifications with sounds, this would be the app that I’d recommend to all my family and friends!!

5/5The new app
Liked the old app much, much better. It had a lot more useful information on it. Could check hour by hour rainfall, temperatures. This app is lacking a lot of useful information !! Please take a step BACK!!!

5/5Feeling sad!
This was my favorite station for news and weather. Unfortunately Nexstar didn’t want to cooperate with Direct TV and pulled this channel!! Hopefully we will get it back soon.

2/5I agree: don’t fix what isn’t broken.
I really liked the old app. The latest weather report is the only one actually needed. I see no need for older reports. I lost all my locations and can no longer pinpoint my exact location. But I miss the hourly forecast most of all. It helped me plan the time of day I prefer to get out if necessary. The old app was a five-star. This one is not. Sorry.
