10 Positive User Reviews for Channel3000 Weather & Traffic
Doesn’t switch cities or refresh well
Bad weather app for those who travel.
If you switch cities, it says the new city at the top of the page, but still only shows the current conditions, and 10 day forecast, for Madison.
Also doesn’t refresh the radar well if you use the radar, then want a refresh an hour later.
Works fir the most part
As mentioned before, the biggest issue is when I’m using the current radar loop, it looses it and gives you a ‘???’ For the end time. Annoying. I use this feature the most. But not for long. Gonna find another app that works.
It flashes
The radar seems touchy and flashes in past and future mode! Also not very accurate as to where the rain actually is, I have heard heavy rain near your location and it’s not even near my location
Near my location notifications
Recently I have been getting notices of “a weather alert near my location”. They are no where near my location! The weather alert I get 5 out of 10 times, is on the complete opposite of the state from me!
Annoying ads
I like the app, but I find the advertisements really annoying and offensive with scantily clad women in provocative poses.
5 Negative User Reviews for Channel3000 Weather & Traffic
Opens with loud video, hard to read
Periodically, this app opens with a loud video making it inappropriate in many settings. The urgent weather updates are in video format with no option to read text, which is annoying and time consuming. And the main screens have a busy grey background that makes it difficult to read the print. Though I want to like this app with local weather, it honestly is not very good. I’m going back to my previous weather app.
Won’t open half the time
Every other time I try to open it since the “performance improvement” upgrade a week ago, it is frozen on the opening screen and has to be uninstalled and reinstalled. Very annoying. We like it, but only if it works.
Confounding
This app just frustrates me these days.
After watching thirty seconds of ads, you’re treated to a teeny tiny snippet of weather coverage—like “It’s going to snow today”. Then, you have to watch another thirty seconds of ads to get an equally unhelpful snippet that would only be informative if strung together with about six of the reports. Now they have these worthless, soundless computer animations that are too small and pass by too quickly for me to read and consume.
Please, just please—advert
Dropped the ball on a tornado warning
I got an emergency alert on my phone from NWS Milwaukee Sullivan of a tornado warning in my area and they told me to check local media. I opened your app and found NOTHING during the entire 45 minute period of the warning. I tried to access the video that normally broadcasts local coverage of the storm and I saw a 404 error message. I was getting repeated alerts from other parts of the state through your app, but when it came to my local area? Zero. Yeah, you guys really dropped the ball on this
Radar
Why is the past radar not available anymore? Was very nice feature.
