Weather UndergroundReviews 665

I have outshined friends/colleagues' accuracy in constant-change 20° and rare rain weather, and goat about Wunderground - for years!

Did you all have a big top-tier management change (PERSON(S) WHO ARE LAME NOW HIRED AND WANT TO MAKE THEIR 'MARK')? Whomever was shoved aside needs to be apologized to swiftly, and the site restored- swiftly.

Excuse my French, but WTF where you all thinking when "approving" this F"ing disaster?!

The renovation of the new site made it worse than worse. I used to enjoy the site but now it's just a hazard to go to. So much for a paid subscription again. The site couldn't get much worse. Will try something else.

I always used to check Wunderground every morning for my weather. It was my number one weather site over those other ones like Yahoo weather because it had this amazing, descriptive, clear graph. Graphs are amazing. It WAS amazing, but now it SUCKS.

This morning I got up and went to check Wunderground to see it it would be cloudy today.
Instead, my world exploded.

I can't find anything. The wonderful 10 day graph is no long on the front page, and you have to go around and click through different pages to get to it, which end up taking forever to load.
The entire interface is just cluttered with boxes. SO MANY BOXES. Unnecessary boxes for tonight, tomorrow, tomorrow night, ugh. Personally, I find it easier to understand the temperature quickly if it is more visual, like in a graph. Simply, it goes up, down, or stays the same. Done. Much easier than looking at little numbers and going through your brain to try and figure out the relevance (Don't know about that one. You may have a different opinion, but that is me, personally).
Then there is these little boxes with pollen, air quality, UV index all mixed in there with the temperature and rain. This isn't very organized. What is going on?! The health tab had all the things with HEALTH lined up nicely, with little charts to look at quickly. If you didn't wan't to see any health related things, it was fine. Just don't click on that tab.
It also doesn't seem to be very complete either, because when I click on the heading for pollen and other health-related things, it brings me back to the old health tab. THE HEALTH TAB. WHICH NO LONGER EXISTS. Similar to other features like settings, it still looks like the old design, with blue underlined tabs.
It's like a patched up mess.

Now that I got that out, my final word is:
Wunderground used to be very good. Now it is confusing, cluttered, and slow. I'm sad that I won't be using it anymore, because it is just terrible. I really would like there to be an option to use the older design; in that case, I would gladly come back.

The new design is absolutely horrid. It was obviously done by someone with absolutely no experience whatsoever doing general-purpose website design.

I've also noticed that they've added an auto-refresh to their horribly bloated website. Now my entire browser freezes for 15-20 seconds periodically while their sorry excuse of a website refreshes in the now multiple tabs I need to keep open to see the same information that used to be on a single page. This is on a high-end Core i7 gaming computer. I can't imagine what it must be like for people running a more typical machine.

I've been a Weather Underground user since its earliest days and have always told people that it was the best weather site. This redesign is the worst ever now. It's not just because I don't like change; it's just terrible. It's slow, unpredictable, no longer includes information that I considered invaluable, not customizable, wastes screen space, and requires one to navigate several pages to get information formerly together on one. Plus, it won't remember which local personal weather station's information I want displayed. Does anybody think this is an improvement?

Well, I am a full time Rancher and weather is a very important thing for us to keep up with. I am on a weather site daily. For 10 years WU was my site of choice. The first major change was a step in the wrong direction, but the last change, several months ago, has caused me to move. It is difficult to use, particularly the 10 day forecast, my go to page. It does not load as it had before, does not function correctly. Though I confess, I use it occasionally, I am using the government page most often now.

Wunderground used to be the only weather source I used multiple times daily. But the redesign has killed everything about the site that made it the most useful. Now it looks like a phone app even when you're on your PC. Hey Wunderground... did you know that you can make an android app for phones instead of making a full webpage mimic a phone app? Or making a mobile version of a page works too. You really didn't have to alienate all your PC users.

Please give us an option to return to the previous layout. Without it, I'll never use Wunderground again.
