Charlotte News from WCNC for Negative User Reviews
✓ Weather section is truly horribleThey are no longer supporting their standalone weather app. It’s easy enough to find the weather coverage on this app but what you get there is not worth the finding. No % of chance of precip, and today August 7 there’s a video from mid June. WCNC used to be my go-to for weather. Brad P is the best. Brad, the IT department let you down!!!.Version: 44.2.3
✓ Awful experience compared to old WCNC weather. Look elsewhereWCNC said that they were getting rid of their weather app and that we should move to this news app. I gave it a try because I thought they were consolidating the two apps into a better experience still letting me focus on the weather if I wanted to do so and have news if I desired. That is not this application. To find weather information is MUCH more of a PAIN now. You are bombarded with ads, you have to scroll and click multiple things, your location on the weather map is not pinpointed, the problems go on. Also, NOTIFICATIONS: You could have all of your notifications turned off for everything except weather and you will still get news events! No offense WCNC, but the reason why we had the weather app was because we trust Brad’s weather information. I’m not here to read articles from your news reporters. If you want people to enjoy this app who were coming from the weather one, make the experience for weather super streamlined and easy just like in the old app. You can still have the News available, which I may look at if I desire. But when you shove it down our throats with the worst weather experience, what’s going to happen is people like me deleting this app and just using the iPhone’s native weather app. The whole point of the weather app is being able to get weather information quickly and accurately. This is the opposite..Version: 44.2.3
✓ No substitute for the WCNC weather appI downloaded this app when told the WCNC weather app was no longer going to be updated. Within the hour I received notifications about news stories. I turned those off. Using this app to look for the weather is cumbersome. I want the hourly forecast and radar at my fingertips and there is too much searching and clicking to get the weather. Deleted and searching for a new weather app..Version: 44.2.3
✓ Only the ads aren’t buffering on iOS devicesWhy is it that recently on both my iPhone and iPad Pro, the live news cast endlessly buffers while the many required preliminary ads don’t ? And it isn’t due to my WiFi or some other such reason..Version: 42.6.45
✓ Must watch ads before every storyI understand paid advertising and how it works but it’s so incredibly frustrating to watch the same Chevy ad before I view each story. If anything the ads make me not want to buy a Chevy more than I already didn’t and steer clear of the app..Version: 41.6.6
✓ App is visually appealing but needs bug fixesApp loads slowly since the new update and sometimes crashes to the home screen due to bugs in the app. Developers needs to fix the app and it will be perfect.Version: 6.1.34
✓ Don’t kill the weather appThe weather data on this app is horrible compared to the weather app. Guess it’s time to find a new app. Plus the amount of commercials is annoying..Version: 44.2.3
✓ Great news team but...I’ve always used the WCNC app for news and weather however I’m not a fan of the new app. All the graphics are visually appealing but it drains my battery and the interface is very slow as a result. Hopefully the developers will fix some of these issues and roll out an update soon..Version: 6.1.34
✓ Way to many adsI’d give a five star as it’s Good app and layout but when you click on an article your bombarded with ads after every paragraph way to much. No other news app I use has so many ads. That’s a shame for WCNC app..Version: 43.9.3
✓ Too many notifications!Downloaded this app because the weather only app is going away. Selected only weather notifications, did not select any news topics, but got bombarded with news notifications only the first day I had the news app. The weather section is not as streamlined and user friendly as the weather only app. Disappointed so much that I am deleting this app and going back to the weather app that came on the phone..Version: 44.2.3
✓ App opening too slowI think you app opening takes way too long. Nice jester to say good morning or afternoon but speed it up..Version: 43.9.7
✓ Weather needs to improveI had to download this because the WCNC weather app is being sunset. I get that. It’s a lot of work to maintain 2 apps. But, can you try to make the weather tab as good as the weather app was?? Way too much stuff in the way..Version: 44.2.3
✓ Too many commercialsYour commercials are too constant and long. I wish commercials were 20 seconds or less. Then I wouldn’t mind and I might actually remember the commercial and consider the business doing the commercial for future business. No one likes to be forced to see something and If you mist at least don’t take so much of our precious time annoying us with your commercials and advertisements..Version: 43.3.17
✓ Do not like the new updateWe are huge Weather Brad fans, but this new weather section of the WCNC app is just frustrating. 1- on the radar, it doesn’t have a dot location for me to see the town I’m tracking/ where I am 2- limited to 5 cities to follow (old app had many more, maybe unlimited) 3- not user-friendly to toggle between saved cities. I need to look up where we are traveling to and can’t figure it out! 4- I just want the weather like their old weather app, but I have to scroll thru the news now I want to be loyal to this station, but I’m going to download WSOC’s weather app to compare. I’m sorry! :/.Version: 44.2.3
✓ Push NotificationsOnly downloaded app because they are getting rid of the WCNC weather app. In settings I selected to receive push notifications for weather only. Having only downloaded the app roughly 18 hours ago, I received push notifications all night with election results. No thanks..Version: 44.2.3
✓ Crashes a lotThis app crashes a lot and has a hard time refreshing..Version: 43.9.3
✓ WeatherHad to download this app since they are getting rid of the weather app. The weather page is so cluttered and the info you want isn’t nearly as detailed as the current weather app. I also selected only weather notifications but have been getting notifications for everything else. Such a disappointment because of how much I loved the weather app..Version: 44.2.3
✓ All I want is a weather appThe weather app is being shut down August 1. That would be fine if this app did not want to send me news notifications and was as easy to use as the weather app. The alert settings does not appear to work properly, resulting in more alerts/clutter/annoyances. Turning of notifications means you no longer receive critical weather alerts. In order to get to the weather you have to shunt for it. Forecast and radar are buried instead of buttons at the bottom, like in the weather app. You have such a superb weather app.Version: 44.2.3
✓ Extremely hard to find articlesI am so disappointed with this app. I will receive a notification from the app and then have a hard time finding it once in the app. There hardly seems to be any content on actual news stories. This app focuses on the weather and their secondary reporting..Version: 42.7.35
✓ Just okayThe new app is pretty, it’s decent. You can easily find what you are looking for. The one thing that’s irritating me is the notifications. I love Brad and his honest forecasting. He’s awesome, and really the main reason I prefer this news station. I have my notifications set to just weather. And here I am, getting notifications randomly of everything under the sun. I just want weather notifications. That’s it. Just weather. Juuuuust weather..Version: 6.2.5
✓ Give me back the weather appThis app is horrible. I want to be able to easily look at the Weather for my area, not Charlotte as a default. I can set my town up, but I can’t set it as the default, and it still gives me Charlotte weather instead of my weather. The Weather app was able to do this successfully, and knew the weather in my town right outside Charlotte was often different than Charlotte itself. I want to see the daily and hourly forecast, as well as the radar. I want notifications related to severe weather in my area only, and there are too many ads popping up in the way. And put the forecast and weather articles at the bottom. I want to quick scan the weather, not have to skip long winded verbiage like in a blog recipe. Just give us back the Weather app..Version: 44.2.3
✓ A content Easter egg huntWhy make it more difficult to find the content your users really want? Take the weather forecast for example: instead of being able to easily access the WCNC forecast—NOT the “my location” forecast, which isn’t terribly accurate BTW—I have to fish around and view videos just to see what Larry Sprinkle predicts. Not a fan of the new format. Please go back to the basics..Version: 6.1.34
✓ Big mistake!Will not be using this app for weather! Too hard to get info quickly. And Brad said user could just get weather. Not so. Keep getting notifications about news when I chose not to get these..Version: 44.2.3
✓ Notifications are annoyingGiving this three stars because I can't get the notifications working how I want. I have all topics set to off in the notifications except for weather. But I still receive news alerts that I don't want. I would just block all notifications but I need the weather ones. This wasn't a problem when the apps were separate..Version: 44.2.3
✓ Ugh the Chevrolet adsI understand the need for ads. That’s why pays to keep the app up and running. Nothing is free... But seriously, do I have to sit through a Chevrolet ad every time I want to watch a live update from the federal, state, or local government. And if I need to switch to something and check back, I have to go through the ad process again..Version: 42.4.12
✓ Good but slowThis news app gives a wide range of news for the Charlotte, NC area. It is attractive to look at and fairly easy to navigate. The downside is that it is SLOW and often has numerous spelling errors..Version: 41.3.8
