Amateur Hour

Downloaded NBC4Wx because of the accuracy of local forecasts. It loaded once. After that...nada. Just spinning and waiting. I thought I'd email support. Clicked on the link and received a pop up telling me to configure my email...what? I guess I shouldn't be surprised that NBC4Wx is not good. The WCMH website looks and functions like an earlier decade. There are some great companies doing web design in Columbus but clearly none of those were involved in this travesty.
Can't get the app to load

Can't tell you much about the features. I have never been able to get NBC4Wx to load. I tried deleting and reinstalling but no luck. I've tried on wifi and cellular but no luck. With the other app, I could actually get the weather...
Not an 'upgrade'

The new weather app does not allow you to see the forecast by hour in a list, it was replaced by a slide function to see pictures but it now takes way longer to look at the day and I end up using a different app instead that functions better.
Was good until they added all the video and commercials

It's impossible to read a news story now. Interruptions by video playing or ads opening. It's only useful for weather. I will be deleting and trying another local news station's app.
NBC4Wx is a disappointing downgrade from the previous app, WCMH WX. Gone are the abilities to see the entire ten-day forecast on one screen and seeing 24 hours of hourly forecast all at once without a slide bar. Unfortunately, the prior app appears to be deactivated, and now NBC4Wx is no better than all of the others. Please reactivate the old app! Thank you.

Wow...NBC4Wx that showed up on my iPad doesn't look a thing like what's advertised. No slider bar, no hour by hour forecast, no real words...just symbols and numbers and a lot of superfluous news, videos and twitter options cluttering up NBC4Wx . Also, the silly pin drops on the map every time I try to zoom in, giving me forecasts for places I've never heard of. Can we please have something that is just for weather? Also, real words would be nice. Some of us are actually literate and would prefer to read our forecasts rather than use preschool symbols.
Videos hijack control of app

So many ads that I can watch my battery going down while numerous ads load and then when the ads change the article reloads and you have to wait again. Video articles have no way of closing them so you have to sit through commercials at both the beginning and end of the video unless you close NBC4Wx itself. Weather radar seems to run 7-8 minutes behind so storms are already through before the radar shows them near you.
Quit WCMH after 50 years

I grew up in Columbus and Channel 4 has been my favorite since my informative years. Unfortunately, they have an over active IT department that constantly changes the format. I got tired of it and now moved to other news sources. Too bad, always thought they were the best at reporting the news, but I am interested in news, not internet gimmicks. Good bye favorite news source!
I agree with the other reviewers; NBC4Wx is a definite downgrade. While the radar is nice, there is no hour-by-hour forecast like there was on the old app that I could find. Ditto for the capability of tapping on a day and getting a more expanded forecast. In particular, I dislike the giant twitter box, which I think is a waste of space. Please bring back the old app! ADDENDUM: try the WSYX weather app for C-bus...it works just like the old WCMH WX app...now I can delete this unusable version.
Needs an update

The latest OS release has stymied the storm motion view. It disappears once you hit the play button.
Great weather but...

If you're looking for news, try a different app. Once you try to open a news article, you get a mangled version of the NBC4 web site. The layout for the page headers render so poorly they they just end up being several blocks of color all in the wrong place, and the text is so huge that you can't read the article on a phone.
The weather forecast and info are better than any national forecast, so that's great, but if you want more than weather, NBC4Wx is terrible.
App Crashes When Submitting Photos

I downloaded NBC4Wx to submit some weather photos this morning but every time I submit an image NBC4Wx crashes. Please fix.
It's ok

Weather app was actually really usable but related news videos have no SOUND! But I kind of like the new weather features.
This is a unique local weather app from a news station with and easy user interface. I donβt think the only weather updates there should be are for rain. If you want a complete weather alert system the user should be able to select snow, ice, extreme cold and heat. Can you take off all the news stuff and just have weather and weather news.

My only issue is that the live radar only shows 40 minutes of movement. If this could be extended to 90 minutes, that'd be great. It would allow us to see a better trend.
Columbus OH weather app

I really liked the old NBC 4 weather app, and I was disappointed when the old one just stopped updating without warning. This appears to be the replacement for it. It is visually a bit more appealing, but I'm not sure I like the slider bar for the hourly forecast. Hopefully, it will be as accurate as the old one.
Last update erased my saved locations

I travel all over Ohio... Would be better to not have to re-enter my 10 locations after NBC4Wx updates. Also would be a better app if it had pollen/allergy data somewhere.
Perfectly good app
2023-12-14
by Nysa00
Loads quickly, doesn't crash, and appears to be accurate. I expected it to have video of the most recent channel 4 forecast. So it's a fine weather app but doesn't really offer anything that a national weather app that can be set to a certain location doesn't offer.
Have shared with my family in and outside of Columbus. Wonderful
