WSYR Storm Team App Reviews

by Darry2385

Who in their right mind thought it would be a good idea to kick users to Safari to view LiveDoppler9 instead of loading it in WSYRStormTeamApp ? What’s the point of having a weather app if that’s what it’s going to do?

I use to LOVE WSYRStormTeamApp. Very reliable In storm situations. 8/17 updated format is awful. The interactive radar seems like it took a huge step *backwards*. Much easier to find the interactive radar though; That's a plus. BUT No more pinned places, or dot where you currently are to see weather up to date at your location (I've tried to "save" areas, but it never works..) cumbersome to make it animate, not easy to scroll down past interactive map to "animate it" and unclear picture vs what it use to be. Overall not a fan at all.. I have switched to using WeatherBug App. I'll wait a bit to see if they fix the recent update, If not I'm going to delete this weather app all together. Please bring the old version back.

I like the Timecast option, but would like to see an hourly temperature/weather forecast too. Other than that, WSYRStormTeamApp is still extremely difficult to navigate and the maps are confusing. I want a map that shows movement over time, but not that useless "interactive radar" thing. Something more like the maps they use during broadcasts would be nice. The "home" page is too cluttered.

It now has an ad where you have to swipe to dismiss every single time you open WSYRStormTeamApp (assuming it doesn’t crash as soon as you open it). Aren’t the ads on every single page of WSYRStormTeamApp enough, why do you need a pop up ad too?

Please bring back old version. Wife updated app early on and I hated it and so did she. I resisted as long as I could until I was forced to do so. Thought I would get used to it after awhile but still hate it. Trying to find something else now. Everything is so much harder to find.

Constant pointless notifications that tell me no new information new maps are visually and in practical use worst then previous application update …nothing program wise is updated in app if it isn’t automated by a program only updates bring visual layout changes not actual functionality! Overall you wouldn’t even get a star if you didn’t inform on accurate weather most of the time

by Rgrice1947

They don’t keep data updated. Video weather report hasn’t been updated for 3 days. We check out the forecast regularly- when it’s working!

by Tomkeays

The written forecasts talked in depth about what to expect for a given day and what atmospheric conditions were driving things. This was the feature that set WSYRStormTeamApp apart from the others. Local knowledge and in-depth reporting is the main strength a local weather app has to offer and now it’s gone. The talking head video forecasts are nice (although I don’t watch them) but are not a substitute.

Why mess with something that was working. I like the old version where you click WSYRStormTeamApp an can see the map. Now I have to hope I click the right thing

I visit an area and check out the weather for the area then for the next lifetime I get notifications for the weather in that area! For example we went on a Uncle Sam’s boat tour I am still getting notifications for the weather in that area! Went to Niagara Falls I am still getting notifications for a one time trip from that area! Went to Mashpee Massachusetts I am still getting notifications for the area! I have deleted them from my location I have done everything I can and I still get notifications please change WSYRStormTeamApp fir
updated so that we do not get notifications for areas we are not in! Please for my sanity. Otherwise like to use WSYRStormTeamApp especially the radar.

The maps can't be enlarged. It's hard to figure out what WSYRStormTeamApp designers decided to categorize something as, and some category headings appear to be redundant or unclear about what they mean. The only real improvement is that the temperature is right near the top so I don't have to scroll down for it.

Most of the information is pretty reliable and spot on even days out. Even though I don’t live in Syracuse, the weather information is still very applicable and gives me another source to compare.

by PCS50

I just love the new update, it’s so easy to see the 10 day forecast and the hourly forecast. I’m now using the channel 9 weather forecast for all my weather needs.

by Pickles25

Channel nine is the only channel i tune in for weather

by Jcparish

Invaluable when you are a boater or hunter. Let’s you know what’s heading your way!

by Player13212

This improved app is much better than your previous version.

by Wavefinder771

I love how intuitive this new News 9 Application is than it was before.

by KatmaryD

The new app is 110% easier to navigate and more reliable. Watch channel 9 news and weather and now I can stay up to date on devices. Thanks!!!

by Tmaggi61

Like the website from news channel 9.
Like the improvements also. Easy to use.

by Dicadica

I love that I can watch the latest WSYR weather person forecast.

by 1 Old Papa Bear

Unfortunately my iPhone updated and the channel 9 app was one of them. I don't like all the maps that I can't enlarge to see where the storm cells are. As far as I'm concerned, newer isn't always better. I'm very unhappy

by SandyJ67

I used interactive radar nearly every day until the ads got in the way. Now WSYRStormTeamApp is pretty useless. Can’t close the ads and they cover the entire map. Such a waste. Got accu weather instead.

by Mac13110

Almost unusable. Can’t find the most recent video updates. Plus the annoyance of the ads. In trying to close the ads they sometimes get bigger. The whole app is a terrible mess. Not interactive at all. Too much work.

by Tobys Mama

Too many ads. Maps can't be enlarged so they're useless. Have to keep digging and clicking to find information that used to be up front. Complete waste of space on my phone.

by Tabz66

It could use some improvements, I try to get alerts and it shuts me out, but I like WSYRStormTeamApp otherwise.

by Mark Mangicaro

Well organized with plenty of options. I especially appreciate how it goes back to my last tab when I open WSYRStormTeamApp . The 7-day planner with brief forecast discussion is perfect for me. More detail than standard iPhone app and much faster than Weather Channel app.
