Ratings and Reviews
Please fix
Overall this is a great app. My question is on my iPad I am able to get hourly dewpoint and humidity but on my iPhone I can’t. This would be a helpful feature in one of the only apps that does it correctly. Please try and fix it would be great to know the hourly dewpoint and humidity just like I can on my iPad. Thank you
Weather team feedback
13 has some of the best people on their team and I love the level of detail they provide. As for the app, it’s ok and would be better if the weather map was useful. They may understand it but way to complicated for the average person.
When I check the app and after I see the weather details I always go to weather bug for better and easier to use weather map. Sorry guys but you and 10 both use the same map and other people that I have mentioned this concern agree with what I have just stated. It’s like I always watch Don Alhart for news, best around since mid 60’s but occasionally sports get hung up on pro sports and hardly talk about local stuff. Do you realize how many people check sports for their kids and grandkids for some highlights or at least the scores. But it’s always check the app for Buffalo updates.
When Don retires you are going to lose a lot of viewers. I hope not but!!!
Thank you for asking

A persistent bug
On the whole, the app is decent. However, there is a persistent bug that has remained after numerous upgrades. There is no mechanism to leave feedback or bug reports in the app, forcing me to have to make the report here. On the dedicated radar pane, there are numerous options to customize your view. (Yay). You can pick out any combination of alerts, overlays, and such. On the alerts option, the app constantly defaults to them all being “on”, even if I tick them all off. I close the app and relaunch, and all the alerts are back. If I ticked them off at last usage, they should remain off so that I can just see the radar itself. Lastly, the app does not remain stable in the background. If you leave the app (or even just pull down the iOS notification pane) the app self-reboots from the beginning. That adds about 5 to 6 seconds of boot time for the app on my iphone 13.
