Now it's weather underground. This site is garbage. So slow and useless. Now I gotta find something else. So sad.
For over ten years I used to use "Intellicast" - always reliable, never failed. Suddenly they went off line and divert you to "Weather Underground" which has failed to work at all the last 48 hours - just when you need it because there's a snowstorm. It's also impossible to e-mail tech support at "Weather Underground" site is useless. The twenty year old software engineers are again trying to ruin our lives.
As most of these reviews state, this is a horrible site (upgrade?), Intellicast was so much better all the way around, will be removing WU and looking elsewhere,
Don't know where to start. No animated radar history. Won't save the favorite cities. Doesn't see the log-in. Radar app is useless. I signed up for the free version and see absolutely nothing to encourage me to spend anything on the app. What the hell were they thinking? Looks like a bunch of kids were playing with the web page. Local weather app will have to do, I guess. Have to give them a one-star because the ads come up very well!
Got on Intellicast site to check for 12 hrs precipitation interactive radar and was steered to this site. This site is totally useless as I spent 20 minutes and was not able to find anything related to that. What a waste of time. I would give it a zero rating if there's one. Bring back Intellicast!
I have used intellicast for 20 years, and relied on it to show very accurate radar, and forecasts. Now, we only have garbage. Congratulations on ruining a great thing.
All I can say is I'm glad I didn't pay the three bucks or five bucks whatever they want for this piece of crap app the great until now. Now I see Weather Channel bought it. That explains everything. Uninstalling today
Spent years relying on Intellicast, over other obvious competitors. As of now, the site has turned to garbage. I'm done. Idiots.
Please bring back intellicast. I live in South Carolina with family in Delaware, New York and Maryland. I try and track their weather. This new format prevents me from doing that. Please bring back intellicast.
I used Intellicast for years and it was pretty much perfect. I hate people who make changes for change sake. The new format does not provide nearly the information that the old one did. It was so easy to use as well. This one? Who the heck knows where anything is. Garbage. And the presentation is horrible. I am already looking for a new site. This one is being dumped.
WU is junk. How could they kill such a good tool like intellicast? That's right, it's money, and how best to protect it and make more? Just kill a working and productive site for some garbage, slow loading, minimal details, and no cares given.
I am a 14K hour professional pilot. Intellicast was GREAT, easy to use plus it showed what you wanted. I miss my INTELLICAST weather and radar. Weather Underground also nags hell out of you with their deliberate pop-ups.

Intellecast was so easy to use and a daily go to. Just deleted it in disgust. Replacement page is useless and feels like a dead page.
Having used Intellicast for the last 15 years or so, I am now faced with not having a weather report at all. Apparently, Weather Underground took over Intellicast and slowly eliminated the web site. They replaced with complete GARBAGE. May they burn in hell!
Today I was redirected from Intellicast to WU. I have over years showed and taught many people how wonderful Intellicast is and how useful and easy it is. Well Weather Underground you messed up a great site. I may be upsetting a few that think there WU doesnt stink but you will find out very soon. I go to Intellicast and the page opens right on the US radar. One more click and i am looking at my local radar up close. I can click a drop and see sites i often check as well. One click and i am looking at wind and another for jet stream US. One click I go direct to my local 10 day forcast with a screen also showing current days. One click on any day and i see the hourly details on any of the 10 days. One click and i can see many very close weather stations reporting on map. All this ease is gone or none existent.
I've just been exposed to the WU site after trying to get to the intellicast site. I'm redirected to WU each time I try to get to intellicast.
Intellicast was useful, easy, fast, and I especially liked the local radar maps.
After 15 minutes of messing with the WU site, I still can't find what I'm looking for. It's worthless. On top of that, it's performance is horrendous. I don't have time to wait for slow pages to load with media content that isn't useful, and hunt around for simple weather data.
I had to remove WU from my phone 6 months ago because it was buggy and often hung, and now I've lost intellicast on my PC to this inferior substitute. Someone should be fired over these mis-steps.
I falsely blamed the app for issues involving the google chrome cache. Changed the rating. After clearing google cache issues went away
I do not like the layout or graphics which are very slow to load. I prefer something more readable like Intellicast. I will be un-installing the Droid app and removing the link on my desktop browser.
Got a Ambient W2990A PWS for Christmas, it took me about 20 minutes to set it up, got it working on WU in about a day. Two weeks later I bought a webcam to go along with it. Finally figured out how to add it to WU, however looks like everything is working, I can see it associated with my PWS and access the pictures but it doesen't show on wundermap. I have sent two messages to them with NO response at all. Today I go to the Wundermap and my PWS is not showing up!
WTH?
Some of the data is always wrong, and if you have a problem with something not working on their website they have no support to fix the issue. I've been a paid subscriber, and have been having a problem with one of the settings not working. I've emailed "support" a number of times about the issue, and all I've ever received is an automated reply stating "Thank you for taking the time to write to us. Our team has received your email and will be reviewing it shortly." Nothing more. No actual reply to my issue, and the problem still exists. So I'm deleting my account. Don't waste your time with Weather Underground, and don't even consider being a paid member! There are far too many other weather forecast sites to choose from. Don't make the mistake of choosing WU.
