2/5Too many unnecessary notices
The notices are for anything weather related. Not just warnings. Annoyed by mundane forecasts for temperature changes etc Also entering the app after a notice I have wait several seconds while advertising completes. Bottom line, notify me when there is danger, don’t force me to wait for long advertisements

3/5Linda Gildner
I don’t think the alerts should be sent out unless they are really necessary. Just because you update the forecast is not the reason for an alert. An alert is necessary when a weather system indicates that the population needs to prepare for its impact.

5/5Weather and overall Channel 7 News
We watch channel 7 News and Weather everyday. We have our morning coffee watching WJHG channel 7 News and Weather every morning. The people on the News and Weather are just as great group of people.

1/5Used to be good
Used to be a good app, now radar runs 10 min behind where the rain actually is, plus the new smoothing effect they put on it shows rain where there is non, what happened to the good old days of having a live radar scan that showed a real image even if not pretty looking because real weather is not a smooth line

1/5You guys should be ashamed
This is an upper management failure. This poor young lady is put in a position to be broadcast when she is struggling to communicate. She needs to be coached and recorded with a satisfactory rendition made as a broadcast. I’m not blaming her. If she aspires to this career she needs to improve her speaking. Management needs to groom her so that we the listening audience…your customers and sponsors get something of a professional product. This is not kosher during hurricane season for your station to put a product like I just witnessed on the market. I don’t want to be critical of her but she has a lot of work to do before I put trust in her words if I can comprehend them and that forecast. You guys should have edited that and it should have never made the air

Implemented support for active links within video descriptions Fixed an issue on iOS 15 where searching for certain locations would close the app. A bug caused TV Station notifications to be turned off in the previous version of the app. As such we will be turning them back on for any user with alerts enabled. If you do not want the station alerts on, you can turn them off within the settings menu. Numerous bug fixes and stability improvements Removed app store support for iOS 12, users on older operating systems will need to update their operating system to update their apps.
