Dakota News Now Weather Reviews

by Melyn65

The updated app is too cluttered it’s difficult to see the white font on the grey background! Can’t ready the hourly info because everything is too dark! Bring back the old version, please. I can’t read anything with this version !

I used to love DakotaNewsNowWeather. We used it when driving cross country. Now I’ve gotten a severe weather warning a few times but can’t figure out where the warning is for. All I can find is worthless videos that don’t give information. You used to be about to read the NWS warning right on DakotaNewsNowWeather . If it’s still there I can’t find it. When a tornado warning goes off and it says in my area, I’d like to know where in my area and which way it is traveling. Pleas bring this info back.

The latest update with the “see through” screen is unreadable. Having the text scroll while the under lying background does not is disorienting to read. Having white text on a light gray/whitish background makes it unreadable. The geometric background pattern serves no purpose so please change it to a solid color. Make the text color something other than white or go back to not having a ‘see through’ screen or better yet, don’t have a text layer that scrolls over a static non moving background.

The font color needs to be fixed. You have white font over a light gray background on the Daily weather page and you can not read it. This needs to be fixed.

I really wish you would realize that white font on a light blue background is really hard to see. Especially when the blue background is really distracting. The floating screen is so dumb and I hate it when sites use it. We don’t use apps like this one because we want a “cool looking” app. We use it because we want easy to follow information that isn’t jumbled up with movement and hard to see. The ads are bigger than the info. I waited a long time for you to figure DakotaNewsNowWeather out and it never gets better. I think I’ll find a new one. This ones not for me.

I think DakotaNewsNowWeather works quit well, but I can’t stand all of the advertising. I don’t see any place on DakotaNewsNowWeather were you can buy it to get rid of the ads.

DakotaNewsNowWeather used to be really great but with each “upgrade” it gets worse. Now you can’t even read the words. Who with any common sense would use white fonts with a light background. I think you need a new developer.

The sun set and sun rise time for Pierre SD should be central time. The time is shown in mountain time zone.

The newest update has white letters on a grey background making it very ditto read. Somebody needs to learn how to use better contrasting colors.

...the daily forecast in white type now the Dakota News background is so light grey. I’ll be deleting DakotaNewsNowWeather if it doesn’t improve readability soon. Not so sure the big union of two stations improved their weather forecasting ability either; oh for the good days when it used to be the best.

Since the last update there is now white lettering on a light gray background. It is very difficult to read. There seems to be more of the white lettering in DakotaNewsNowWeather on my iPad than on my iPhone. I have used DakotaNewsNowWeather as my weather app for years through many update and adapted to each change. This could be the one that makes me change. Please fix this!

DakotaNewsNowWeather used to be a nice, clean weather app. Each upgrade makes it harder to read or locate what you need. It gets 2 stars as it is still technically functional but the choice of font color being white over a light background defies logic. What is the point if you have to work harder to access information? Time to try another app.

All of a sudden it won’t ever open. It keeps saying not available in your location but I’m at home, its always worked here before, I have wi-fi and there is no reason it shouldn’t work. My husband is sitting right next to me and his works. I deleted and reinstalled DakotaNewsNowWeather , it worked for about a day before I got that message again

Background color and temp color is too close to the same

by Kelzeyselzy

Since the update, the new lighter background does not contrast with the white letters. It is very hard to read.

by BusyMama04

I’m really missing the temperature and feels like setting in the home screen! It really comes in handy when I have recess duty so I know how many layers to wear! PLEASE put it back!

App was better before the color scheme changes. White fonts on light grey background? Some developers need to wake up!

Great snow storm!
I wish Shawn and Kami would come out and play........or at least give an explanation of of when they are getting Married!!!!!!!!

by Warnmand

DakotaNewsNowWeather used to be my go-to weather app, as it seemed to be the most accurate, but over the last few weeks, whenever I log in m, it suddenly says “This application is not currently available in your location.”

Nothing has changed as far as my location, except for DakotaNewsNowWeather . I’ve had a couple updates now and it doesn’t fix it. Sometimes it will work but very rarely. Likely going to delete if not changed very soon.

When will DakotaNewsNowWeather be updated for the bigger screen of the iPhone 5. I'm not sure with was iOS update it happened but I no longer have notifications enabled for my phone. I have to rely on The Weather Channel app for this.
