Disappointed

I just downloaded the WJLA weather app on my iPad in order to be more informed about the upcoming storm. Unfortunately the app is not working properly. Maps wont update, the radar wont run over time and cant even use the comment to Twitter capability. I do not recommend downloading this app.

No updates since iOS 6??

This app is almost worthless. The biggest reason for downloading this app of for the radar maps which do not work. Dont try to change the layers on the map, it freezes up the app until it eventually crashes or you have to reboot your phone to get out of the menu! The design is from the iOS6 or older days and looks horrible blown up on the iPhone 6/6+ screen. The layout looks broken in most sections. Was this a test at how fast they could put together an app without any thought in design or usability?Looks like the developers abandoned this app or otherwise it wouldnt have all these bad ratings. What a shame.

Broken!

No longer works on iPhone 6. Crashes after entering location.

Location settings

Very disappointed that the only location choices are either track my location all the time, even when not using App, or Never. The better apps have a third choice which is "only when using App." I dont want anyone tracking me All the time. Apple should require all Apps to have such three options in the interest of consumer privacy.

Hourly doesnt work anymore!

I initially really liked this app because its local, but it crashes and no longer offers hourly forecasts!

Just a little bit better....

than their ABC7 WJLA news App. Which has a solid 1-star rating.

Update app

I like the app most of the time, but the hourly scale doesnt work all the time and theres an error message when trying to get the forecast. Please update the app.

Where are the updates?

App does not load radar maps. Why have a button to click for this? Now local forecast is no longer working. Gives an error message instead. Disappointing that this app is not updated & fixed. EVER!! Going to be deleting from my devices soon as it is turning out to be a complete waste!!

Doesnt work

This app doesnt work. A message pops up "no internet access". AND yes I know how to use my phone. All other apps connect to the Internet - except for this one. Which is too bad - I really liked this app. Enjoyed reading weather report from my favorite forecaster, etc. Theres a new app which one can download for channel 7 weather but its not as informative as this one used to be.

Loved it. Please fix it.

I loved this app! Its more accurate for our area than weather.com. Recently, the app started having issues. As others have said. Some tabs are ok. Then one or two tabs will say no internet connection. It lies. Please fix it before winter snows come.

Forecast no longer works!

Best part of app for me was the forecast section where theyd describe the upcoming weather in more detail. Hasnt worked for awhile now. Keeps saying - error, check back later. Will be deleting the app!

Update a total failure.

Wonderfully weather forecast. Not a drop of rain anywhere in the entire USA. Too bad the ABC in San Francisco cant afford anyone who knows anything.

Thank you!

Finally you fixed this! It had been dead for so long. Only complaint - I loved the blogs where the weather people would talk about the weather, not just forecast it. Theyd give the whys and hows weather is the way it is. But the rest of the app is up and running!/12-25 Update: Not working again. For a few short weeks it worked, now no forecast info. Cant they get this app fixed?
