Weather Underground android app's new look


I should give it more of a chance before hating on it.

Changes in apps, software, websites in my work world - they aren't always good changes, but I don't fuss over it, because it's constant and have been through it so many times.

It's the changes in the every day personal and leisure time apps that are [expletive] annoying. Such as Weather Underground. I don't like hunting around wasting brain energy on re-learning where to find things. The "overhaul" looks like it just makes the adverts more forward.

Other notable offenders:
Garmin Connect
And [expletive] you ITunes.

I won't use it even though I think they have some cool stuff for the reasons you cited. noaa.gov because it hasn't changed in forever and I can find everything without thinking.

accuweather is great for phones

accuweather: Now if they could just fix their forecasts.

The one I used for a while didn't have much to it, other than projected high/lo temps and a picture of a cloud/sun or something.

The thing I like(d) about Weather Underground was the easily accessible drill down to hourly forecast - to plan for the day. accuweather app was lacking there. Been a while though for Accuweather, I'm guessing they had more options later.

This Weather Underground upgrade has the app barely working right now on my phone. Weather feed is down.

Been using weatherbug bc i like the lightning strike locator. I wonder if it's very accurate.

That's what the graph is under each day in your second screenshot, right? I don't use any weather apps on my phone, but I do use Weather Underground in a browser a lot, in large part because of that graph that shows temp and precipitation chance throughout the day.
