The widget simply asks that I open the app and agree to TOU and PP, which is not even an option. I’ve not received a single push notification since nor has the widget been functional despite deleting the app and all its data from both my phone and AppStore account. Dun dun DUUUNNNN! It completely killed everything I enjoyed and appreciated about the app. The widget worked wonderfully as well and was probably my second favorite feature.Įnter the update. I especially liked that the weather alerts would push to my phone at least 15 minutes before any of my other - even local - weather apps and that they even had a “dangerous storm warning” notification, which was correct each time I received it. Initially, I was quite impressed and pleased with the push notification weather alerts for severe weather. I have screen shots to prove all of this.ĭownloaded WeatherBug app about 2 weeks ago and really liked it and then.
I LIVED THROUGH IT, had a tree fall on the roof while I was trying to sleep I KNOW A HURRICANE CAME THROUGH THATS INSENSITIVE AND UNFREAKINGHELPFUL.
LASTLY, the notification that said: “Florence made landfall Friday in North Carolina! Watch the latest footage of the storm on weatherbug.” FORGET YOU. maybe just start them as indefinite when there is a hurricane present. giving us location/wind speed/ANYTHING useful would have been better.ĭon’t get rid of the statement updates completely. We had no power, no radio (our own fault) and couldn’t load a single app to see the radar, but thank god notifications came through. What would have been most helpful Weatherbug, would have been actual storm updates. They also arrived 10+ mins later than TWC (which could be service provider related but not the point of this rant). I had 15+ notifications while trying to conserve phone battery, I eventually turned them off. Those are all well and good THE FIRST TIME THEY ARE ISSUED. I got CONSTANT notifications about extended hurricane statements, flash flood statements, and tornado statements. Once upon a time I loved this app, but since this hurricane hit, I cannot believe how repetitive and unhelpful this app was.
WEATHERBUG GAMES TV
It seems that the OLD-fashioned TV weather reports are more accurate the night before than the purported “real-time” weather apps.Īs many of you know, and clearly this app was aware, there was a hurricane that affected the Carolinas etc. this doesn’t seem to be a Weatherbug only issue as I have had the same experience with all four of the apps I’ve tried. who cares about presentation if the data is unusable. I get a bit of a chuckle when folks compare the presentation of info in reviews. Anyway, I think I’ll go back to the “stick my head out the door” method. THE KICKER is that this same app has the audacity to provide a TEN DAY forecast 🤣🤣🤣.
I re-checked the forecast an hour or so later, and the entire hourly forecast had changed. Re-checked the next morning, and same ZERO % chance so I got dressed for my ride, pumped my tires, raised the garage door, when it began to rain ALL DAY. I wanted to take a bike ride and began looking at the forecast the prior evening showing ZERO chance of rain the next morning. Seriously ALWAYS off several degrees, and as for precipitation percentages, they’re so useless, I have begun to laugh at my own gullibility. Is it me, or are others experiencing the same issues of inaccurate, not up-to-date weather no matter what app? It seems they all use the same local stations that must be very delayed in their updates to the various apps. I also don’t appreciate an app that kidnaps my device with no other option but to completely shut down my device to get out of it and delete it. I would be willing to pay $15 to $20 yearly to not be tracked or bothered by annoying advertising. I wish these apps would offer an affordable yearly no tracking, no advertising plan. My issue is that they don’t even offer at least a 10 day trail period in which you could try the app out to see if it’s worth allowing them to track you.
WEATHERBUG GAMES FREE
I understand that these free apps use advertisements to earn money. I had to shut down my device then start it back up, then I was able to uninstall it without opening it and starting the same problem all over again. Even when I got to my apps to try to uninstall, I had to keep hitting the Home button to get to settings and continue to hit it as I scrolled to the app to attempt to uninstall from there since it wouldn’t allow an uninstall on the main screen. I tried to get out of the app and it had frozen my screen. You have to click a choice which I refused. Seriously, do you really think they won’t track you or track you less because you clicked ASK NOT TO TRACK. When you try to open the app you’ll get a pop up giving you two choices 1. Weather bug will completely lock up your devices screen.
