Pros and cons of WTOL 11 Weather app for iPhone and iPad
WTOL 11 Weather app good for
I love how you guys changed the theme from the 3D Windows that would turn in a circle, to a nice easy friendly dashboard where you can now see all the info all in one place. Now its just a click away instead of having to turn the 3D Windows it to get to them. Keep up the great work!
Easy to navigate. Simple and clean interface. Just the start up could be little faster...
Some bad moments
I do not like the new version. They took away a lot of the selections I use everyday.
I liked the previous format but sometimes change is good. My issue is with the fact that now the home screen will not flip on my iPad to view horizontally!
Dont dl this app. It gets stuck in "waiting" and wont let you delete. Tried resetting iPad back to factory, nothing works.
The new update is just bad. Layout is stupid. It was great before. Im getting a different app until you fix this.
Save yourself a lot of frustration. Dont download this app.
Whoever is responsible for this app and weather reporting at WTOL should be fired. It is so far off the mark so often that it is worse than worthless.
The app rarely reports current conditions accurately. As an example, a few days ago the app reported "sunny" as the current condition when there was close to 100% cloud cover. On that day, I drove from NW of Toledo, across Toledo, and across Oregon. I drove within a few hundred yards of WTOL where there the sun was not at all visible.
There have been many days when it has been raining across the entire region and the app reports conditions as being sunny or partly cloudy with no mention of rain.
The Worst part is that you advertise "Certified Most Accurate". Really? Certified by whom? You all should me ashamed of yourselves.
Why do you have to have the title screen always appear no matter if you have the app open already or not? I can understand when you first open the app but if you have it open and go to another app then back you have to look at these 3/4 weatherpeople EVERY time. During recent severe weather emergencies this was quite annoying and a waste of time. If you already the app open why do you have to look at these yahoos and waste time?
