Weather UndergroundReviews 665

Intellicast used to be a super-useful website! Now that they've merged with Weather Underground, it's turned useless. For some reason, links don't work and take forever to respond- and when they do, they go to the completely wrong page. I've been randomly redirected to the San Fran forecast more times than I can count. I live in MN. Also have clicked on past searches for my city and instead, Minneapolis, Germany comes up. Major fail.

I wasn't surprised to find that they have super low rating. I've sent them a note 4 months ago and again a month ago about wrong city that comes up and still not fix after 4 months and 2 emails later. I guess no one at Eagan, MN uses Wunderground, because it brings you to Eagan, TN when you click on it.

I first thought it was something to do with local cache, but tried it on another pc, it came up with the same result. When you search zip ******* or Eagan, MN. It will come up on the search, but when you click on it, it will give you Eagan, TN instead. Really...?

NO zoom, stupid little flags everywhere, bring back intellicast. This is the worst site ever. New and improved stinks like manure. I liked the original intellicast from 8 yrs ago but at least the last one was usable. Also, why does the weather channel get the tornado radar (the one with the green and red) but the general public does not? Could save lives, but that is another story. At least the old site had decent zoom. Everything about this site is stinks.

According to Wikipedia, Intellicast now falls under their cloud platform group. It's a very bad advertisement for their cloud when the forecast page won't even load for days on end. IBM has bet most of their marbles on cloud and software. IBM used to be good in the hardware business, but they've failed with their transition to software. I am sick of this daily reminder as I watch the WU graph icon spinning and never loading. Wonder where the Intellicast wizard architects are nowadays.

As a pilot, I have used Intellicast for many years. It gave me a great concise overview of current weather, progs and a great radar presentation.
Since it has "merged", more like taken hostage, by Weather Underground it has been a huge disappointment. I can no longer rely on the information presented or that it will even work at any given time.
I really hope that WU can get this program back to the standards and operational availabilty that Intellicast spoiled us with for years.

I, like most here used Intellicast on a daily basis especially the Interactive radar and the 10 day graphical forecast and I'm highly POed about all of this. What I have done to get a little bit of Intellicast functionality back is establish separate desktop icons for WU radar in my area and also an icon for the city where I live which displays the 10 day forecast. When I need to look at the 10 day forecast I click the icon and up pops the 10 day forecast just like Intellicast had (they were actually using the WU 10 day forecast in their app). You have to set up the 10 day forecast graphics the way you want and save them but it works. The radar defaults to some weird map other than the satellite view but it can be selected as well as the radar you can setup the layers to show personal weather stations in the area that are clickable. As far as other Intelliast features like surface analysis maps etc. those might have to be under a separate icon also. I'm hoping this will help ease the pain of losing Intellicast

I don't know if Weather Underground could have done much more to screw up Intellicast if they tried. Really miss what Intellicast WAS. The ability to pan and zoom and regenerate the radar frames quickly is gone. More adds/page than radar. They're apparently trying to suck every last advertising dollar out of the Intellicast name and have so overloaded every page with ads and garbage that it takes forever to navigate the website. Just horrible.
