Max Defender 8 Weather App for Negative User Reviews
✓ Used to be good but...I don’t know what they did but this app is totally useless now. Radar doesn’t ever show anything even if it’s raining 😒. So it is getting deleted after many years of this being my go too weather app. Just irritates now and I have enough stress in my life without my weather app of all things making it worse..Version: 5.0.1
✓ What good is radar from 3 hours ago?The radar on this newest version of this weather app is below average. The map doesn’t automatically open to my current location. It also is hanging onto a map image from 3 hours prior. I want to know if it’s raining now, or coming close. Very disappointed..Version: 5.0.5
✓ All GoneI have used this for years and liked it. I especially liked it for the earthquake layers and just for the world map. It was more handy than Google maps for looking for roads and towns. Now, suddenly it won’t even open. I deleted it and am having trouble finding its equal. SAD 😥.Version: 6.4.0
✓ Should be called a downgradeI hate this update (or at least that’s what they claim it is). The radar is awful compared to the old version, more ads (ugh) and a terrible hourly forecast format - what’s to like? Not much. Off to find a new weather app..Version: 5.0.3
✓ The previous version was betterI used the previous version for years as my go to for weather. I was able to easily change the area I wanted the weather for, look for specific information without having to figure out where to look. This new version has to many graphics that makes it hard to read. I couldn’t figure out how to have access to different locations. I was unable to get the information I wanted. The changes made me, a loyal user for years, delete it, totally frustrated! I wish you hadn’t changed it!.Version: 5.0.3
✓ So frustrating!I used the old version for years. It was great! This new version is so slow, if the radar loads at all, which it often doesn’t. I listen to thunder around me and I can’t get a current radar image on my iPad..Version: 5.0.3
✓ InaccurateThe radar is the only good thing about the app. The wx report (percentages) are horribly inaccurate. Weather Underground seems to be the most accurate wx app. Sad are own local wx can't report accurately..Version: 4.4.600
✓ ClunkyI was a bit surprised to see so many negative reviews at first. If you use the app yourself you will see why. The app just doesn’t seem to be built well. Slow, a lot of functions are buggy. There’s also a lot of ads..Version: 6.8.2
✓ Next to Useless!!!This never seems to work when there is any weather. Now it goes into an infinite state of loading data, which it never stops. It is totally useless..Version: 6.3.4
✓ Terrible app.Trying to watch hurricane coverage. Unable to because it is dominated by a roofing company commercial. I hit the x and it ignores me. Much better app available. I would rate below a 1 if able..Version: 6.8.1
✓ IPad OS is only portrait, no landscapeSeriously? Do you think iPads are just big phones? We have to turn full sized iPads sideways just to see your weather app. While I don’t particularly like the iPhone version, this app is unusable on the iPad. I used this daily for weather updates and now I’m removing it from my device. Thing is, I’ll probably never know if you fix it because I won’t load it again just to find out..Version: 6.8.1
✓ IPad no auto rotation to screen orientationThe app used to auto rotate to screen orientation which was great for those using an iPad with a stand. Having to remove the iPad and change orientation is just not convent for normal usage..Version: 6.8.1
✓ Unable to save optionsI used to have a few cities I was interested in addition to ‘my current location’ but now when I remove them they return when I reopen the app. Also, the alert options, there are SO many not required for Florida, I feel should not default ON and again once I go through all of it to make my preferences, they are not saved. I had to turn off notifications which kinda defeats the purpose and now have removed the app. Until this is fixed. Hope it’s soon!.Version: 6.1.2
✓ Radar Crashes on ipad & iphoneCrashes 100% of the time on the ipad and 80% of the time on the iphone. Also, the 24 hr radar moves lightning fast—deliberate pun. Too quickly and I cannot find a way to control the speed. If I drag it, it crashes. I am using the latest software updates. Frustrating. Hope you fix it..Version: 6.4.0
✓ Avoid until it’s betterThe new app version that came out in 3/18 is considerably worse than its predecessor. The links for videos just takes you to the mobile site. Crashes constantly. Avoid until it’s enhanced and more similar the older version I’d avoid..Version: 5.0.1
✓ Downright HorribleI couldn’t be more disappointed. The best radar matched with the worst GUI one can imagine. I don’t want to say too much here. Perhaps the GUI was written by one of our local junior high schools. Basically, It’s not ready for roll out. There are far better..Version: 5.0.3
✓ Weather App ComparisonI notice this app is showing rain every hour of each day when there isn’t any, while other non-news apps are more accurate. It’s not showing the same weather prediction that the on air news is. Kind of disappointed about it..Version: 5.0.3
✓ Hate the updateI loved the MaxDefender8 weather app before the updates. I absolutely hate the app now. It is much harder to use, the radar is not easy to use. I really wish that it was not so un user-friendly. I will use another app until this one is better!.Version: 5.0.3
✓ Sooo many ads.This is supposed to be a weather app. Not Facebook. Trying to use and view any of the pages and I’m bombarded with scrolling ads, pop up ads and then cut aways to ads for games. Way to frustrating to sift through when I need my weather. Not worth anyone’s time or energy..Version: 6.7.0
✓ New AppI am not the least impressed or thrilled with the new map. It - the animated map- appears faded and blurred. The old app was much better and more detailed. The “pin drop” for your location is way to large and obscures activity in the area. Anyway to roll back to the original app???.Version: 5.0.3
✓ Don’t count on them in an emergencyThis app is horrible. If you lost power and need updates in a hurricane, well you can find out about window vendors, or Experian, or any number of ads on this app. But actual news you need, live feeds of what is happening… Forget it! This app stinks. They say they are on your side. They are not. They give preference to advertisers and rich people who have internet connection somehow during a hurricane. The rest of us… not so much! They advertise “oh you can count on us in a storm.” What I can count on is a lot of advertisements and no live feeds when I’m in danger. I’ll pass..Version: 6.8.1
✓ Terrible updateI’m not thrilled with this new version. It should not take me more than five minutes to adjust to an updated app. It’s so completely different and you don’t have a tutorial to go with your update. I will be deleting this app and finding a better one. I’ve had this app for over four years. 😡☹️😡☹️.Version: 5.0.1
✓ Previous comments are trueI thought the comments might be from people who don’t like change or maybe have difficulty figuring out new developments. However I found that everyone of their comments is true about this version of the app. We are in the midst of a hurricane and I can’t find any tracking or forecast. On top of that there are so many ads it is ridiculous. I am uninstalling now. Listen to their comments..Version: 6.3.4
✓ New weather appNew weather app is awful. Far too busy. Liked previous format it was easy on the eyes to view on cell phone this new app is not. Will probably use another local station weather app..Version: 5.0.1
✓ Not Broke Don’t FixI really do not like this new weather app at all. Its predecessor was clean and uncluttered. When you paused it, it had the yellow squares for high wind, the blue diamonds for hail, the green circles for strong thunderstorms and lightning, and the red triangles for tornados. I loved those icons because you tapped on them and there was important information. If those things still exist in this new app, then someone is going to have to show me where, because I can’t find anything in this new one. I wished they would have just left well enough alone and kept the prior app. Thank goodness that the Sky Tower 13 weather app still uses the old format. I absolutely love it. As of today I have totally switched to Fox’s Sky Tower 13..Version: 5.0.3
✓ Video Forecast BROKEToo bad Video Forecast is broken on latest update. So much for testing ... UPDATE - Ok,thanks for fixing. I can see it now, unfortunately. And I can see how little time effort and money you put into the update. JUNK, ads, all over. I’ll be deleting the app. I would like to put zero stars but one is the minimum.Version: 5.0.1
✓ Used to be great...After I updated the app it no longer shows the percent chance of rain in the hourly view. This feature was THE reason I used this app and now it's gone. Very disappointing..Version: 4.4.600
✓ BAD UPDATE - NEW FORMAT UNUSABLEPrevious app was almost perfect. Cannot use this app anymore - New format is unusable. Skytower 13 app uses this app's previous format and works perfectly so I changed to that. TERRIBLE CHANGES: 1. Video Forecasts - Plays but no picture. 2. Radar Map - Too slow to load. Also, if you turn on your location, a giant peg appears obstructing radar details around you. 3. Current Conditions - Large pretty graphics substituted for easy to read information of previous app - BAD. I'll use the SkyTower13 app until you guys fix this one. Please revert to the previous format..Version: 5.0.1
✓ A 1 cause It won’t let me rate it a 0This app is pathetic. Takes forever to load up. Lucky if it actually shows rain. Please don’t get excited and think it will show it in motion, cause it just freezes up. By gosh the ads work good though. Don’t waste your time.Version: 5.0.3
✓ Giant Step BackwardsThis app used to be good and I used it several times a day. With this current version it not only looks retro to a fault, it doesn’t orient itself to landscape mode, making it useless on my tablet. Go back to the old version and I’ll come back..Version: 6.8.1
✓ The new app stinksNeeds fast speeds and high bandwidth to open. Uses too much data. Useless most places as it will not open. Try the channel 7 app. Works better This app has not improved. It used to be great. Now it will not load! I am deleting it!.Version: 5.0.3
✓ App update ruined this Max Defender 8This was my go to app for weather everyday! Recent update will not allow the app to rotate to horizontal view on my Ipad Pro. Since I have a keyboard cover, the vertical view is unusable. Format changes were NOT an upgrade as well! Time to delete this app..Version: 6.8.1
✓ Not working properly since updated.Since the last update I have not been able to open the app. I had to delete it and I’m going to try it one more time..Version: 6.7.2
✓ Constantly Freezes up.It use to freeze occasionally. Now once opened to the first article it freezes. I have deleted and reinstalled it several times to no avail. Very disappointing as I enjoy the app very much..Version: 6.4.0
✓ Terrible Update!This update is awful! Can’t get alerts to my phone anymore! Very cluttered and does not work properly! Switched to Fox News 13 for my weather updates! Get the old version back! It worked great!.Version: 5.0.3
✓ Worst weather app ever!Who created this app?? They have no idea what they r doing. It is sloppy. It is unorganized. It is not even close to being current on major issues. Or if they are.... i have no clue how to find it. Just bad! You guys need to get a new app creator!.Version: 5.0.3
✓ The app won’t open any longerI tried reinstalling the app when I started having issues but it won’t even open up. Please get an update that fixes this. Hurricane season is here. It used to be helpful.Version: 6.4.0
✓ Alerts for non-emergenciesI was awoken at 4:31 this morning by a dense fog alert. I knew I had better take immediate precautions to keep my family safe so I quickly got up, went out to my car, and turned the low beam headlights on. As I crawled back into bed, I was so grateful for this app warning me about the dense fog in such a timely manner. I promptly fell asleep... I wish that were the case. Instead my day started at 4:31. PLEASE fix the app to make it possible to sign up for which type of alerts you want. I can guarantee I won’t check off the box for “dense fog”!.Version: 5.0.5
✓ How do I get the old one back?This new update needs to be undone. It’s not at all user friendly and the layout is too complicated to find information quickly. I’ll wait one more week to get something useful but then I’m deleting it..Version: 5.0.1
✓ NEWS CHANNEL 8 WeatherMaxAppI LOVED THE PREVIOUS APP.....the newly updated app is HORRIBLE. Hard to read. Only has live shots of teleprompter. Not user friendly. Cluttered like an advertisement not an actual interactive app. Radar not good at all. Not near as inclusive on layers or accuracy as it was in previous version. Please repost the old app because this new one so awful that I have deleted from phone and having to use the Weather Channel app:(((. I am a News Channel 8 customer all the way morning and evening.....sad that I cant use your app anymore!.Version: 5.0.5
✓ The app is bloatedThe app is very sluggish and bloated. It is now hard to find a view of the weather for the week and it will not load up appropriately when on cellular service. The older app was much better. Please make some improvements to this one so it is useable.Version: 5.0.3
✓ DisappointedThe old app is the best weather app out there. Very sorry to see is retired. For example, future in old app gives about 3 hours info. New one, one hour. Don't retire old version.Version: 3.9.700
✓ What the Heck were they thinking!What a terrible revision to what was a good app! It was my go to App for weather. Not any longer. It’s so hard to gather the information you need at a glance that it’s unbelievable! I think they must’ve just hired some new graphic artist and decided hey what the heck let’s just make it all pictures. Seriously. This app is awful. It’s coming off my phone..Version: 5.0.5
✓ New max defender weather App.I have used your weather app for years till this latest version which really doesn’t deserve even a one star. I think it’s time you either returned to the previous one which was the best coupled with the new radar. I am a retired NWA Pilot with 29 years of staring at Radars and until this new version you had a weather APP that was really good easy to use and second to none. I do not use it anymore I check once a week to see if you have finally admitted to your mistake and returned to the old one. The old saying don’t tamper with success certainly applies here. The amazing thing is surely somebody has looked at the reviews and if so why hasn’t something been done. All the weather people keep applauding the app how can that be. I now use Storm Radar which has at this point a great radar. You know making a mistake is one thing not correcting it is the real mistake and I can’t believe you continue to use this terrible new version. Go back to the old trusted version that put you number 1 across the Bay Area and Florida..Version: 5.0.3
