Will not use weather network again as long as they use their new format. Would like to give it ZERO stars.

Total Garbage
September 13, 2023

Information is presented in a long list. Tedious to find weather information and trends for the week. I will not check the weather-network anymore.

If you like page-sized ads, go ahead and open this web site. You probably can't. The ads prevent that.

It use to be quite acceptable but this latest version has got to be the worst weather app on the market. The radar map takes forever to load and the animation is awfully slow and erratic. The app on my android phone is not as bad as the one on my laptop.

New Radar Map
August 18, 2023

The new radar map is not worth the money spent The "Cloud" mode is completely off base, not even sure what it is showing! You look on the map for cloud movement and it shows no cloud at all when I can see it is completely overcast. Everything on the map seems white and slightly grey making no sense or vision on the density of the clouds. The old radar map was great and I used track and follow it usefully, it would beats the "new radar" hands down. Upper management needs to be shaken!

I have the HD version and back in Feburary, I had on the local forecast and then someone talks over the music. I thought, "huh? Something must be wrong on their end." I later called my cable provider and complained about this. We spent over an hour trying to get this annoying bit off and weren't sucessful.
Then, one other time, someone else talks over someone else talking over with the mandatory evacuation on the widfires and it doesn't even affect me. I just yell "shut up" and mute it until they're done speaking, 'cause it is ANNOYING.
Some of the stuff they now have are silly.
The network has been going downhill for a while.

I absolutely HATE the new map design. It makes it almost impossible to find your location as the print is so small. If you zoom in the print disappears completely. I'm looking for a new weather app. It wasn't broken until you tried to fix it.
This was a very bad decision and one that I think will cost you customers.

How is it possible that they are so wrong all the time? With all of the fear warnings, might as well say you're all going to die! Tornados, torrential rain blah blah blah. Fear mongering at its finest.

Sure, weather prediction looks hard but these clowns would have more accurate forecasts if they pulled them out of a hat. I've never seen a 7 day change so drastically every hour on the hour.

Change the name to "I Don't Know Network"
I can't trust anything these guys say. I use current radar to check for possible rain and snow. They've been wrong with 100% and 0 percent chance of whatever too many times and the weather news talking about jet streams, majorly cold winter, super hot summer or whatever make no sense. Some chick even said that global warming is human caused. These guy even go to school? Pretty sure 100k years ago there was glaciers right where I sit. Did we start melting the polar ice caps by rubbing two sticks together? Pretty sure the glaciers have come and gone multiple times in the last million years alone long before we started cooking our food. Besides, ice cube melt fast as they get smaller. Global warming is a real thing and the impact will be huge but human helping it along or not. That ice would still be melting just as fast as it is now. TWN needs to stop trying to entertain and get the weather right for a change.

It is really displeasing by using the block on the webpage with the no options demand to remove add block for their website.
Resulting in the switching to any other sourse of information, but not to check the weather with them.

Constantly wrong forecasts. Notable but rarely spoken of wet bias - every single drop of precipitation is seemingly magnified by 1000x to keep people coming back to this awful site/app and refreshing to make these greedy cretins ad revenue. They peddle survivalist gear and sell packages - if I were to hazard a guess, I'd say the site's endgame isn't to be accurate or transparent with weather reporting but to act as a vehicle for predatory monetization by Pelmorex. Shame on the Weather Network and shame on Pelmorex!

The weather network is terrible, the meteorologist's that work for it are pathetic and are more often wrong than right, weather network.com is absolutely shameful. Accuweather is way better and more accurate

I don't care what the weather is 100-1000 miles from my city. I 'watched' to see the local weather crawl at the bottom. I have stopped watching.
