Completely useless site with maps that contain very little information and are awful to navigate.
New look with the same maps my A**. They certainly are WunderMaps because you have to wonder who the F**K designed them. Complete rubbish. Resurrect Intellicast.
I was forced to give 1 star. If I could give -5 stars I would.
The navigation, map selection, options were perfect before. I don't even know what the new format is supposed to be, epic fail...
I have always used Intellicast to look at the future radar. It has historically been accurate for the eastern great lakes region. Trying to look at the maps on wunderground is a nightmare. I can't figure out how to get the future radar. The website is not user friendly. The maps are amateurish at best. I will stick with weatherchannel or local news for now. BRING BACK INTELLICAST!
I, ve been a faithful user of Intellicast weather for years. If I wanted to know what weather was coming my way I would check it.
But Intellicast has ceased to exist, Instead when I search for it, I get Weather Underground.
This service pales by comparison, the Maps are hard to use, the surface analysis feature is hacked to a non interactive picture, and when I click on current weather, I frequently get a map that's 12-24 hours behind the actual current weather.
After trying repeatedly to find a way to use this disaster of a product, I give up. I always hated the accuweather maps, but at least they are current.
The new radar is horrible. Stops at 6:45 pm, for one thing, how can that be called 'current.' The old format for all of US and for local interactive were about perfect. New formats useless.
The site's been getting slower and slower to load (very frustrating when I'm trying to get ready to go work), but this evening the hourly button not only didn't work, it erased all the data from the main page, so I had to go back and re-enter my zip code. I cleared my Firefox cache, made sure Flash was up to date, and restarted the browser, to no effect. I tried to email them to let them know of the issue but I uploaded a QT video file (which they recommend, and I had zipped it) and it wouldn't send. I could only send an email with just text. It's absolutely awful. It's a shame because WU was my go-to for years and years. The photo is what it looks like after hitting the "hourly" tab.
Intellicast maps were exactly what I needed; the Wunderground maps are horrible and it is very difficult to find detailed weather forecasts. Please go back to the way it was! I'm ready to start looking for alternative sites for my weather information!
I have used Intellicast for 15 years and appreciated:
-The GUI
-The interactive map
-The graphical 10 day forecast
-The lack of changing a GREAT site
The Wunderground took them over promising "same great maps, new name"
Wungerground LIED to us
Everything is new
And very poor
Anybody know of a good site like the old Intellicast?
" New Look with the Same Maps
The Authority in Expert Weather is now here on Weather Underground"
It's should read the beloved authority in Expert Weather has been hogtied and hidden in the basement. It puts the lotion on it's maps. WU is awful There is no future loop on the "wundermap" and I have not been able to find anything even remotely similar to Intellicast's excellent forecasting. Very un-happy with this switch. Please someone save the day and rescue poor Intellicast - it got the short end of this merger.
I take issue with the executives at IBM/Weather INC whatever, treating us old Intellicast adherents like we are indiscriminate imbeciles, "ohhh, same maps only better? OK!" That is a lie. It is a lie.
I have used Intellicast for 18 years and enjoyed their easy and accurate format. I am extremely disappointed with being redirected to Weather Underground. WU is horrible, completely amateurish and useless. Also it is full of mal-ware pop-up's to which I had to close my browser to get out. I am finished with WU and will delete all Intellicast short cuts.
I have been a dedicated Intellicast user for many years. Now it is the most useless site ever. I have always hated weather underground. I will be using WeatherForYou from now on.
For many years, I enjoyed using Intellicast. What a sad day it was when Weather Underground replaced it with their mediocre format and displays and their slowww response time. Stupid decision - why replace something very good with something clearly worse?
I also got quite upset over the so called new weather underground merger with intellicast. What a piece of garbage. They took what was a great web site, deleted it, and replaced it with something that looks like a bunch of kindergardners developed it.
Anyone giving this site a rating over 1 star has to be in a state where recreational pot is legal and they are imbibing. Apparently time has no meaning to them. This site reminds me of 2.4k modems--"Click" and come back in a few hours for your results. Welcome back to the PC stone age.
I used Intellicast for years. With a single click I could view all pertinent information in seconds.
Wunderground is a mockery, where no click will gain any information efficiently. Use if your time is worthless.
Thousands of pilots and marine operators across North America relied on Intellicast for up to date and accurate weather information. This change is endangering people's lives.
"Wunderground" Now there is a misnomer, if I have ever seen one! Intellicast maps on this site are so out of date as to be essentially useless. The people responsible for this should be dragged up in front of congress to answer for their actions!
Was an Intellicast user for many years but no longer. This take over from Weather Underground (The Weather Channel) is slow, cumbersome and full of worthless features that make it hard to find a simple forecast. Awash with maps I could not care less about I miss the simplicity of Intellicast that would give you a daily or 10 day forecast that was up and visible as soon as you keyed in the location. Did 10 year olds create this "new" website. Would give this zero stars if it was an option.
I'm out!
I have used intellicast for 10 years. This new layout is confusing and the maps are terrible. Your title says same maps as intellicast is not true. I'll now be switching to accuweather. Very disappointed! I loved intellicast
