Charlotte News from WCNC 4+

Not 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.

Developer Response ,

@ginnie The hourly % chance of rain can be found in the Weather section of the app under the My Weather section (second navigation tab at the bottom). We also made an update to make it easier to switch & manage your locations. We hope you enjoy this. If you have any other suggestions please let us know at appfeedback@tegna.com

Awful 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.

Give 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.
