I miss the old layout of the 7 day forecast. Isn't that what a mobile weather app is all about? Busy people turning to a quick look at the weather? Too bad I too often have to miss the details and go to another source for them.Īre there any specific features that you are looking for in the WRAL Weather app? We can confidently say that it is not our intention to 'force' you to go to when you are using any of our apps. I know you have to pay for things, but it's so much that busy people will walk away. That's really bad in a severe weather event. When you go to WRAL online you get 10 minutes of ads before you can see any report, weather or anything. This new app is disappointing because it's clear that it intentionally forces users to go to WRAL online to get in depth reporting, especially video reporting (join us at WRAL online for the details'). WRAL weather reporting is good because of the expertise of the the weather staff. In a severe weather event the app and WRAL seem to have improved the availability, otherwise I'm likely to miss the video weather - but I can always find it at ABC 11, so I'm good. The detailed video is what I'm talking about and now you can only get a brief video without going to the Live News and Weather and wait for the ads to play. Sad to say, that part has only gotten worse.

Edit: Haven't looked at this review in a long while so hadn't seen the developer response that 'it isn't the intent of WRAL to 'force' anyone to go online to do anything'.
