Weather UndergroundReviews 665

WG has committed org. Suicide. Destroyed the best service and apps in the business overnight. Sad to see an old friend dive off a cliff for no apparent reason. Most orgs would have formed a beta test group for a new app and only launched when the new app. Was ready for prime time. Instead they blew up the beautiful, mature old app and replaced it with a piece of $#*!. Leaving thousands of paying users dumbfounded and betrayed. Completely avoidable, completely unnecessary. Stupid suicidal move which they won't walk back. Some things deserve to die. I guess WG's corporate ego chose to go down with the Titanic. The post mortem will likely reveal that the CEO is handsomely rewarded for this bold and brazen act. I'd like to feel sorry for WG but I only feel sorry that Jeff Masters did not choose someone else to shepard WG to a different future.

New app design is poorly designed with graphics that make no logical sense. I do not use the app to see pretty adds and confusing app design that leaves one wondering if you even considered the users desires in a weather app. Interestingly one of my devices has kept the old app and another device deployed the new app. Put them side by side and all you can do is shake your head and wonder "What are they thinking?" Why not offer two apps, the old one for people who want functionality and the new app for those that don't know the difference.

Since the acquisition of Intellicast, the transition to Wundercast has been a horrible experience!

On my (Chrome) browser, the site will often work for the first city chosen, but then when trying to select another city, the site won't properly refresh, and all of the tabs (e.g. "10-day") won't show.

The organization of the Wundercast site is far inferior to the former Intellicast site, difficult to navigate, difficult to read (the Wundercast maps are worse than the old Intellicast organization), and often fail to properly load.

Way to destroy a formerly good service (Intellicast) than many of us relied on daily!

Intellicast was a great site, informative and easy to navigate. Everything was intuitive and understandable. The former weather underground was helpful. Ever since they merged they have abandoned all that was good about either. Not intuitive at all. Some of the best previous features are missing. Trying to find what you want is all a matter of guesswork. Whoever redesigned the sight should be fired and if legally possible shot.

If you are looking for a goto website for weather and weather forecast keep looking. If you are looking for a website dedicated to pounding you with advertisements, well then you found it.

Not long ago I could nearly depend on the daily and 10 day forecasts. Daily forecasts were close enough that I could plan out my daily activities. Oh, yes they still provide a long range forecast, but not for my area. It is specific to an area that is not even close to property with different of about 1500 feet of elevation.

Lets talk about the good things still coming from wunderground.com. Yes, the ads! So many ads. Who else can put 20 ads on a webpage! Maybe they should put some of that ad revenue into updating and fixing the website.

I will miss all the great information on climate change! Oh, yes Climate Change! It was an article on Weather Underground that caused me to truly understand what they are talking about. Well, that article prompted me to do some internet searches where I learned that weather records have been recorded since 1880! The records indicate that the earths climate "average" has changed. Yes, I do believe it. Scientist also believe New York was once under ice. The point is the worlds weather has risen, wait for it, approximately 1.5 degrees fahrenheit above the "average". For the global weather believers, educate yourselves by doing some research on your own.

Good bye Weather Underground, may you rest in peace.
Oh, how about pulling the site from the net? Wait, they can't do that if no one is actually updating the site!

I stumbled across this some time ago for my very own subdivision and it used to be pretty accurate. Last month that changed dramatically. Now when it's really raining, they say the sun is out. Then when the radar says clear, it is raining! The worst is showing rain totals. We just had rain all day and the local tv station said 1.7" accumulation. The wunderground site says. 02... yikes! Don't know what happened but this is really useless now. If there was a negative rating, would have said that!

I have been posting my personal weather station data and using weather underground since about 2000. HOWEVER, the WeatherChannel has destroyed what once was a great site. I think the latest fall over the cliff was the notice I received.

"The Weather Underground email program is unfortunately coming to an end as of October 1,2019. You can continue receiving the world's most accurate weather forecasts, real time weather alerts and much more all while on the go. Visit wunderground.com or download the Weather Underground app on your mobile device or tablet and sign up for our weather alerts & notifications via the settings menu.

Very disappointing in the turn in their service towards being lack luster, the website change is terrible and now the forecasts.
