Weather UndergroundReviews 665

Whatever raw deal was made to tank Intellicast and substitute wunderground in it's place, was a real boner move. Nothing about this new site works logically or half as intelligible as what it replaced. You can't even click on the main map to zoom in on your area. When you do enter your zip code, you get redirected to this clucky 1990's era toy map that looks like it was made by Fisher-Price. The whole site operates like a high school project. WU can't go away fast enough.

Basically freaked the F out the other day with no access to Intellicast. SHAME ON YOU for trusting your I. T. team and letting them release this garbage without at least a in-tandem user tryout. UGH!

I bet they blame all these bad reviews on "User Issues"

Anyway until you get your heads out of your A**... we will all be at this other site... which used to be my goto before intellicast. It's run by NOAA and NWS. And no ads!
WOOHOOO!

www.weather.gov
*very user friendly and customizable
*fast updates
*you can pan left and right
*you can zoom in and out! Duhhh

And that's just after 2mins of my trying it

Hope this gives your users some comfort

Over 10 years ago, long-time Cincinnati Reds WLW broadcaster Marty Brennaman (in the face of an impending hit/miss cell) sang the praises of Intellicast and we've relied on it ever since... that is, until this brutal screwjob. At present (south central Ohio) it's 17degrees with tomorrows high locally predicted to be 2 degrees and the "current" WU radar is showing rainfall - as it's locked-up@ 6:45 PM last night (1/28/19). Tell me, why is it that so many of my go-to sites seem to wind up irremediably reduced to non-counter intuitive, non-performing BS and there never seems to be a suitable replacement (e.g., Mapquest, VPIKE). All of the fast, cool Intellicast features are nowhere to be seen; none of the data is remotely close to anything current; WU is insultingly stupid! It is beyond astounding what motivates certain idiots...

I used Intellicast daily for almost a decade. We work outdoors. The 10 day graph view was very useful... not always completely accurate however we know how to interpret graphed temperature, barometric pressure etc. to make daily decisions for our crews. It kept us better informed and loyal. The new interface seems complicated, slow with childlike pictures and captions. You really used to attract a sophisticated user... now it isn't even G. E. D level!

The successor app to Intellicast is terrible. I used to get very accurate forecasts as they were using data from 4 local reporting stations. They dropped those in favor of a single station in a valley on the other side of mountains. (Weather in my valley is different than this other one.) The 10 Day Forecast has not worked since Wunderground took over several weeks ago. This change reflects greed, poor management, bad strategy, and sub-standard programming talent; nothing less than a bad sell out. This new site sucks! Looks like I have to find a new source. Very disappointed.

Being totally disappointed by the loss of Intellicast for the current POS, I add my comments that Weather Underground is horrible and basically non-functional. How can a company like IBM produce such a product and expect the WX data user community to accept this as the source for good weather planning? We don't need another dumbed-down site with sun and cloud icons as the spoon-fed gruel that apparently UW/IBM thinks is all that is needed. Seems like a good time for someone to produce a new WX site/app. I'd pay for a decent source.
