WHDH 7 Weather - Boston Отзывы пользователей

May be due to upgrade to iOS 17, but not functional

I have a lot of problems with this app simply not loading. I have had to redownload the app many times.

The embedded weather video has not been updated in six days, I count on this app for my Weather and this is unacceptable

It’s totally unreliable app, more or less 100 % of the time their predictions are incorrect. The radar map is incorrect 100% of the time. Just got rid of this junk app

Your daily forecast and your hourly forecasts are very different. The daily shouldn’t state that the high is 89° with a 20% chance of rain and the hourly states that the high will be 81° with a 65% chance of rain in the evening.

The app itself is great but video content old. They have a 6:00am new broadcast and they used to post that by 7 or 8 am. Now it’s the video from the previous day, usually 10pm but sometimes 4pm. Almost useless. Weekends forget it.

Being able to read the blog to get some nuance on the forecast is useful. While the video forecast is nice, sometimes video isn’t a good medium cause you don’t want to make noise or put on headphones. As a plow driver, I stick with 7 weather since the forecasts are solid and the blog is great. I wish the maps feature was still there so you could quickly pull up the “special” map for snowfall predictions or info about other weather events.

I really miss the maps tab which used to be on the app. I loved seeing the snowfall totals predicted (Special Map) and other info. This was the reason I choose this app over others. Please bring the map section back.

I relied on the local, not generic, 7 day forecast map often. The special maps were important as well. Without this the app is almost useless. I don’t need weather.com 7 day on your app.

The important local angle (maps) was removed so there is no reason to choose this app over any other generic weather app. I'm really disappointed. Now I have to go back to the website for the actual forecast. I want more than a listing of temps with sun and cloud icons! Please bring back the special maps and 7 day forecast that used to be right up front. And don’t remove the blog, please!

You say you guys value our feedback... Well here it goes!! I think this app is really great. But the set up is really off!! I think that the view of Boston should extend all the way down the screen instead of it being divided into sections. You have a VERY beautiful picture of the city and then you mess it up by cutting it off with another picture of clouds and then another picture of the complete weather forecast!! It’s a new year why don’t you guys go back to the drawing board and reinvent this app!! From the looks of your reviews... I think you should!!! ASAP!!

UPDATE: Still unable to open app since update:::::: Just see the 7 weather splash screen and it disappears. The app stays open, but closes out each time you tap on it:

After the latest update, will not launch on my IPhone 7 Plus.

I used to depend on this app to give me up to date weather - especially the radar - now it never loads - or it freezes midstream. I have just deleted it from my phone - looking for something better now.

Take a lesson from channel 5 app no problems with theirs. I deleted 7 weather app no one seems to fix it

Channel 7 logo is in the way, font unreadable and an ad in the middle of it.

The old version had a drop down menu for a link to school closings. It was very convenient. Nothing on this one?!?! Why

The video on this app is just a black screen. So, if you like watching the weather forecast on the radio, by all means download this. Otherwise, the other Boston channels have better apps.

This has become the only news app I watch. They have live broadcasts far longer than the other stations. The closed captioning is excellent. I also appreciate that they scroll closings while broadcasting. Thank you

Thanks for fixing the bug! Update is great

I used to love this app! The main things we look at are the 7 day forecast, the blog, and the specials map to see how much snow we are expecting. Now- there are not only way too many clicks and barriers to get to those things, but the ads pop up so incessantly that you *cannot read* the blog! I have tried even taking screenshots of it because it disappears so fast into a full page ad over and over. I’ll be deleting this app. Very sad to lose this. Please fix!!

This used to be the most epic weather app - my go to even after moving out of Boston. Then I made the mistake of updating it last week!!! I used to be able to see my current location weather along with the seven day forecast for the city I was in. Now, it will show me only current city conditions with Boston’s seven day...and I’m no longer there. I could add locations and view the conditions for the week so I could plan accordingly. What happened???! Bummed.

I tried very hard this morning to read the weather blog but couldn’t because of the huge Discover ad that kept popping up. I don’t have a problem with ads - you have to pay for stuff - but you could set a cookie so ads aren’t seen the rest of the session.

We LOVED this app in its previous version. We used it all the time when riding bikes to see when we had to stop, where we had to go to avoid localized showers, and of course for the forecast. Now it is UNREADABLE on the iPad!!! The giant 7 logo background and the forecast white scrolling lettering makes it IMPOSSIBLE to read! You can't see the words anymore! Ahhh, but you can see the ads just fine. Look, we know ads are the point for you and we don't mind, but when you make the app unreadable for its main purpose, you have lost your audience and then the ads aren't seen by anybody, something your paying clients should be concerned about. I'm deleting the app when I am done writing this review. It's too bad. Your very visible ads won't be seen when you lose your audience due to purposeful unreadability in the rest of the app. Sorry to lose this once very useful app.

Thank you for listening to the reviews and feedback. The weather blog is back! This is my favorite part of the app and really the only reason I use it. Glad they returned it to this version of the app.

It's nice that the radar is more accessible but doing a way with the blog makes this like any generic weather app

The prior version was easy to use. This one is a disaster. Lots of ads. Background makes it difficult to read the text. Go back to the old version. (And where is the weather blog?!)

This thing is garbage now. I agree with all of the other reviews. Since they updated it they took out everything that made it useful and made it the weather app with their logo, useless now.

You took away the weather blog, was the best part.....I've already deleted this app!!! Bring back the old one

The WHDH weather app was unique and useful prior to this update; it had all sorts of maps and most importantly, the blog. Now it is difficult to use and has far less information. I can get the same data from the iphone weather app in a much clearer format. Deleted.

My default on 7 app was the blog with actual opinion from Chanel 7's great weather broadcast staff. No other weather app offers a similar feature. Now that it's removed I see no benefit to this app versus WeatherBug.

The revamp of the app is terrible. No blog, maps, live content anymore and the look is bland. Don't know why they changed. Was by far the best weather app and blew the other local station apps out of the water now it's terrible, I've deleted it.

This was my favorite weather app, now it's the worst! It's almost impossible to read on an iPad. The logo sits right on top of everything. You have to scroll what you want to read to a blank spot. Where did the blog go? Blog was the best, now gone. Also, thanks for wiping out all my saved locations.

The only reason for the app.

Two steps forward, four steps back. Yes, there are new features and a new look, but there are lost features as well. My biggest issue is how this app became click bait. There's almost more ads than content now! Was a simple straight forward app, but no longer. I truly want to support the independent local station, but this reinvented app is garbage ...

New look is fine but I can only find 'watch live'. Where did 'watch latest forecast' go? Many weather apps can tell me the weather. This was the only one with a useful video forecast and this update seems to remove it?

All the reasons would use (blog and maps) gone....deleted.

Pictures and video forecasts, but no detailed forecast option without watching the video.

I used to LOVE this app now the new format makes it difficult to watch video forcasts or really anything.... Not sure why everything changed 😕

Omg - the adds that pop up are out of control. Same ad comes up multiple times. Please make it stop or improve the design so you can dismiss it once. There also seems to be more screen space dedicated to ads than news. Aren't you supposed to be a news station? Get it together whdh.

I know your app need to make money, but the expanding ads are miserable. I won't use the app anymore.

App used to be good. The new format isn't as intuitive. It also doesn't connect a lot of times now and doesn't show any forecast or radar map. Would be nice if they fixed the bugs.

Ads pop up constantly, including alert boxes that force you to click OK and try to redirect you to the App Store to buy something. I love reading the weather blog. Too bad. Uninstalling.

Not as user friendly after the last update :(

This app runs very smoothly. Can always watch the latest forecast video. Plus the live streaming of the news runs flawless with perfect picture.

Bigger maps please

This used to be my #1 weather goto app! Earlier this year you made major changes which ruined it, especially the new tiny sized 7day map, now the tiny map has even lost its tiny neat graphics! You really blew it! Channel7 weather is the most Acurate but unfortunately your app now is weak, slow and clunky! Fire your developer and get a real app, you deserve it! 😞

I really rely on this app to provide me with the daily weather.

Love the new interface and so far it works great! Nice work 👍
