Weather - The Weather Channel 4+

Hi, my name is Adam and i have been using the weather Channel app over the span of 5ish years now and used it with an iPad, iPhone 5, 5s and latest iPhone 6s+ and this is the best app i have ever used. I remember when it was not as easy to use and i got used to it and this new update makes it easier for the everyday person to use but if you want advanced statistics you can still get them! I saw a few reviews where they say that “the app is riddled with ads and videos” which the app has ads it is considerably less than most other apps and as for the videos if you don't want to watch them you simply don't. If you HATE ads so much then you can buy a subscription to it to remove ads. But DON’T be worried the subscription is a one year subscription and it is $3.99 i have went through many years without the subscription but this year i want to get it just for the fact that i snowboard and i want my cellular data being used for the weather only when I'm up on the mountain. I snowboard in Pennsylvania at Blue Knob all seasons resort. Overall this app is great in many ways! Definitely a download for everyone!

Back a few years ago in the early days of the App Store, probably 8-10 years ago in fact, I purchased the ad free version of this app called Weather Channel Max. Good app, no ads and it worked well. Then about 2-3 years ago the app updated and said that this app will no longer be supported and that would be the final update. It stated the other version(the one with ads) would be the only version supported. I continued to use the app I paid for until it kept crashing after iOS updates and was pretty much forced to use the app with ads. Now I see you can go premium on this app and remove ads. That really ticks me off considering I had previously paid for the ad free version, only to have them snub it. I, at first, just thought they were only getting rid of max so they would force those who paid a one time fee for the ad free version back on the app that has ads. Not only was that true, but now, in hopes that people would forget(which I didn’t) they now offer a monthly subscription service to get rid of ads. This is a sad attempt at getting even more money from me. I will now be deleting the app and using another app instead. I’ve already given enough money to you all only to be asked for more. I’m really disappointed how greedy developers are becoming and all over an app that gives you mediocre weather reports.

Update: New update seems much better!!
I’ll just reiterate what everyone else is saying: GO BACK to the old interface. Too many ads, videos, and useless information. We have this app for weather. Newer version is incredibly hard to navigate, always takes forever to load and then reloads to the beginning several times before being able to get to the next few days’ forecast of whichever city I need. Extremely frustrating when I’m out of town or planning a trip, finally get to the section that actually tells me the weather forecast and it reloads to my current city. Also seems to be data-intensive because when I was out in the woods the other day (where weather information was extremely important at the time) I couldn’t get the app to load to save my life but was able to get other apps to load, albeit slowly. Eventually ended up googling the weather from my web browser and that worked...again, we use this app because the forecast tends to be reliable, but the usability of the app is getting to the point where it’s a wash. Been on the verge of deleting it in recent weeks. I’ll give it a couple more updates, then I’m out. Not worth the frustration.
