![]() Not only did the update delete all of my preset locations it also deleted many of the settings. I don’t need that at 3:00 in the morning, especially since the storm had already passed my area! It would be nice if there was a way to set a schedule for muting non-emergency audible alerts especially if one chooses the special bulletin alerts. The last round of storms we had roll through, I had to finally shut off the audible alerts because they were going off almost every 30 min for lightning advisory updates and flash flood advisories. I checked the other alerts I want to get, but if there is a special weather statement concerning, say, air quality, and I don’t have “air quality” checked, I still get the alert. I want to know if there is bad weather coming or maybe thick fog in the morning, but I don’t want to get alerts for every time the wind blows or all night long while I’m trying to sleep. I also can’t seem to get a good setting on the “special weather bulletin” alerts. I dislike the fixed portrait orientation and haven’t found a way to adjust it to landscape for my iPad. I miss the old layout of the 7 day forecast. Isn't that what a mobile weather app is all about? Busy people turning to a quick look at the weather? Too bad I too often have to miss the details and go to another source for them. I know you have to pay for things, but it's so much that busy people will walk away. ![]() That's really bad in a severe weather event. ![]() When you go to WRAL online you get 10 minutes of ads before you can see any report, weather or anything. This new app is disappointing because it's clear that it intentionally forces users to go to WRAL online to get in depth reporting, especially video reporting (join us at WRAL online for the details'). WRAL weather reporting is good because of the expertise of the the weather staff. In a severe weather event the app and WRAL seem to have improved the availability, otherwise I'm likely to miss the video weather - but I can always find it at ABC 11, so I'm good. The detailed video is what I'm talking about and now you can only get a brief video without going to the Live News and Weather and wait for the ads to play. Sad to say, that part has only gotten worse. Edit: Haven't looked at this review in a long while so hadn't seen the developer response that "it isn't the intent of WRAL to 'force' anyone to go online to do anything".
