Channel3000 Weather & Traffic Reviews

by Removed Essential Info

Does not change screen orientation. No landscape mode. Why did you implement the same bad UI design and issues as Channel 27's weather app? I switched to using your app instead of theirs when they changed the format of their app. Now you've copied the same poor design. I guess I need to abandon the use of Channel3000WeatherTraffic now as well.

I can’t get it to open when needed. And when I can open it, the video doesn’t always work. Irritating. iPhone 11.

The fonts in this version are VERY small and the contrast is almost nonexistent, making it very difficult to read. It's also annoying that you have to scroll through the 'cards', and you can't change the order to get your favorites closer together. Very disappointed! Weather Channel or Accuweather are my go-tos now

The best part of Channel3000WeatherTraffic was easy navigation and a well-written weather summary. Now, they made navigation difficult and removed the summary along with several other great features. Weather info is now average at best.

Worst part is that they placed ads above the top navigation bar. Almost impossible if you have semi-thick fingers not to hit an ad.

This version uses "cards" to show you the location information (radar, hourly and daily forecast) that used to be on one simple page before. You must scroll through the cards to get to the one you are interested in, and then it only shows a 1-2 hour or day preview. Basically, the user interface is now much more complicated and much more work to get the same info that was on one nice page before. Furthermore, the old app has been suspended so you can't use it and they force download of the new one. This used to be my favorite weather app due to simplicity and accuracy. I am now deleting both. Would NOT recommend.

Awful. I’m deleting it after this review and trying Weather Underground.
This Tuesday it showed sun all day. So I leave my car windows down and at 9am it rains. I look at my app and it says currently sunny and still sunny at 9 am. Fire the person in charge of this worthless app. I’m rarely so disappointed.

Too many ads, some are right in the middle of the screen. Obnoxious. This turned me off after 30 seconds, and I didn't bother to look deeper for features.

I would not mind ads for the TV station to get me to watch their broadcast. But the ads are for cars and stuff I'm not interested in.

Used to be okay...I don’t know what changed, but now after I sit through the endless loading ad, I get a black screen that says “ Channel3000WeatherTraffic isn’t available in your location” even though I’m in the viewing area.

Put it on; took it off. Won’t open.

Any slide with the finger near one of their on screen advertisers will launch the advertisers web site. I swear sometime they launch by looking at them. Park Bank is nasty to get out of, some have a time to wait before closing.

Periodically, Channel3000WeatherTraffic opens with a loud video making it inappropriate in many settings. The urgent weather updates are in video format with no option to read text, which is annoying and time consuming. And the main screens have a busy grey background that makes it difficult to read the print. Though I want to like Channel3000WeatherTraffic with local weather, it honestly is not very good. I’m going back to my previous weather app.

Channel3000WeatherTraffic just frustrates me these days.
After watching thirty seconds of ads, you’re treated to a teeny tiny snippet of weather coverage—like “It’s going to snow today”. Then, you have to watch another thirty seconds of ads to get an equally unhelpful snippet that would only be informative if strung together with about six of the reports. Now they have these worthless, soundless computer animations that are too small and pass by too quickly for me to read and consume.
Please, just please—advertisement, semi-thorough report, synopsis. I’d super appreciate it

Nice app but I would be willing to spend a little money to get rid of the ads. this is why I gave it two stars.

by Amandasthewalrus

Love the notifications. It’s great seeing local weather in plain speak. However, Channel3000WeatherTraffic is full of ads. You have to watch a 15 second ad for news 3 in order to see the forecast. So, download for the notifications but don’t bother opening Channel3000WeatherTraffic .

Every other time I try to open it since the “performance improvement” upgrade a week ago, it is frozen on the opening screen and has to be uninstalled and reinstalled. Very annoying. We like it, but only if it works.

I enjoy your App but I really dislike all the spam mail I now receive. I will no longer use your App.

by Anne HW

Talk about lack of interest. They still haven’t make this so it works in landscape mode on my iPad. And I don’t mind some ads, but this thing is loaded. The only reason I use it is because it’s pretty accurate for local weather.

by TheLotheGal

As mentioned before, the biggest issue is when I’m using the current radar loop, it looses it and gives you a ‘???’ For the end time. Annoying. I use this feature the most. But not for long. Gonna find another app that works.

by Mutt4me

Seems good so far. Hope there will be a Notification widget soon.

This ap is much more reliable than its predecessor . The forecasts are updated more quickly, and seem to be more accurate. It loads more quickly and has fewer annoying network errors. When I check the temp and hourly later it remembers to update its data instead of being stuck at the same hour I last checked like the last ap. channel 3000 is the most accurate weather ap for mad area in my experience.
