The WUG used to be good. Now I am not allowed on three machines to login to WUG. Even when I do, it does not work.
I have requested from WUG a link to remove their APP. They ignored them until I posted a less than nice review. In the last few days, I state what I want, and they sent back, "If we do not hear from you in 90 days, you will need to ask again as we will turn off you request", paraphrased.
Now they have a new nonsensical useless answer, reply. Hi, Tony! Thank you for reaching out. We do not have any control over your Air. What exactly do you want to do? So far as I can tell, you are using Weather Underground via a web browser. Are you trying to remove that data from within your web browser? Thank you! —Victoria And I can still not get from WUG a link or directions to remove their app from two MacBooks, or my iPhone. I suggest you all Do Not Use, or Add to your machines! I am going to change my ISP, wipe memory, replace my apps, under new AKAs, change my cell number, and do whatever I must do, to get rid of WUG.
Thankfully as a retired engineer, debugger, I have the knowledge to do the work needing to be done. I just should not have to do the work. Which includes my investments, retirement accounts, doctors, family, friends, banks, credit unions, financial institutions, and everything that must be done.
Sorry for the length, but please do not allow the WUG to get its hooks into your machines. I am sure that the WUG has the same protection from our government, the FBI, and other Federal and Local agencies that will prosecute me, fine me and possibly imprison me if I reverse engineer their software so I may remove it safely, and provide the services to others
It's a great site/tool... when it works! I have complained and complained about the ads making the website unusable. The ads take over the entire page, making the website useless. Supposedly, you can create an account and get ad free. I would never do that now since it's the worse user experience I've encountered when it comes to reliability of functionality. Such a shame because when it works, it's my favorite site for checking weather. (See example in photo. I don't speak Spanish so if the ad is telling me how to close it without closing or refreshing the entire page, I would never know.)
The most incorrect ap ever.The forecast highs are NEVER correct. Consistently run 5-8 degrees below the actual temperatures reached. It runs that way no matter what location I look at. It's 2021... forecasting is much better these days yet this WEATHER AP can't seem to get it right. The photo included shows the typical every day inability to correctly forecast the high temperature. Totally unreliable.
Almost none of the longtime users and supporters of Weather Underground can believe how IBM acquired the best weather website in the world and quickly destroyed it. Those of us in tropical regions relied very heavily on this once great service to closely follow developments in the tropics. The tropics blog has been deleted from the site. The weather maps are now well below the standards of local weather broadcasting. How tone deaf is IBM to ignore the almost universal condemnation of what they did to a great non-profit website run by weather experts?
I have quit using the website due to not being able to save preferences. Never try to contact anyone as usual no response. I think I may disconnect my weather station from Weather underground in protest. I wonder if it is IBM making the changes or Watson can't handle the data.
Information supplied is great, BUT, when 25% or more of your radar map is taken up with crappy ads, and full screen ads are thrown in your face, I bail immediately and have been using a different service. Used to be great but IBM has screwed up yet another useful service. And proof of service demanded to submit this? Really?
Unfortunately there is no end in sight for bad service on weather Underground. They have now announced that they are discontinuing their webcam service. This is one of the few good remaining features from the original service. You could actually see freeways, streets or any type of weather activity in your area via a live view, using a network of volunteer cameras, instead of just relying on satellite or radar. It's a sad sad day for weather enthusiasts and for the people who rely on the service.
IBM now own this weather app and since they took over it has been getting worse. Now I can't even log in to the site which IBM (a computer company) own. Shocking. The call sign of my weather station keeps getting changed. The help service never responds. The app is getting inaccurate. The weather stations (all of them) are apparently now not reporting. What is going on with you guys. I can't believe that you want people to pay for data which they give to you for free. This is our data and you want to charge us for it? DREAM ON. I'm leaving you.
I have for years plugged in zip codes of cities where I am planning to visit, but now WU thinks I might not get accurate information if I use a zip code out of my area? Are they delusional? I am deleting their address from my computer and my memory. Perhaps I shouldn't complain since I am using a free service, but sometimes even a free service is not worth its cost.
Their history section used to look a lot better and I thought they'd update it further but since 2014 they kept stagnating it then eventually all but removed it! Their history shows very little info now and their monthly totals are broken where most stations used to show data sometimes back to the 1930s!
What is the matter with weather underground site. It is more not working than working. Every time I click on the prompt it does nothing at all. This is a terrible site to get weather Doppler or any other info. Concerning
The weather in my area. It will not load.
It was decent before hand, but now with 404 not found links, many re-directs to weather.com video snippets and longer than ever loading of 10day and hourly forecasts, basically its time to leave wunderground behind. Just get it over with and bury it. It had its day and IBM ruined it with ads, premium service etc.
Had been a subscribed customer for 10 years (about).
I knew that when the Weather Channel bought WU that it would soon go down the crapper.
Service is their main product and they fail miserably no replies to several emails for minor assistance on the web site.
WU used to be great, but since IBM took over they have continually gone down hill.
Mobile app has trouble all the time. Radar doesn't update properly. PWS stations are intermittent, and customer service is non existent. It's sad to see what was once a staple in the weather community allowed to wither and die.
The new format stinks. If it doesn't change I'll be forced to find a different weather service after 10+ years of using Weather Underground. How about some Beta testing before dumping junk down our throats?
Intellicast used to be a super-useful website! Now that they've merged with Weather Underground, it's turned useless. For some reason, links don't work and take forever to respond- and when they do, they go to the completely wrong page. I've been randomly redirected to the San Fran forecast more times than I can count. I live in MN. Also have clicked on past searches for my city and instead, Minneapolis, Germany comes up. Major fail.
I can only reiterate other comments. They used to be great, seems after the Weather Channel merge it rapidly went down hill... They will never answer a request or question on there help page. Goodbye to the "Weather Underground" we do have choices...
I had to delete Weather Underground from my iMac, iPhone and iPad because it not only kept crashing but would affect my other apps and overall performances as well. What a terrible company. They don't seem to care at all. Stay away!
This site is now useless, doesn't give current conditions, need to check two sites for longer term forecast, slow to load, junk. And I've looked for other sites and they are even worse. Someone could make serious money by giving us folks what we want
So sad. This was my favorite & most used app & I've spent many hours with the full version. Now when I try to use it a box comes up saying "Try again later". I see others here are talking about a severe loss of quality. I can't comment to that as it is simply unusable.
