Weather Underground

Loads super slow, often incompletely. No new features, no new information. 10-day forecast is no longer viewable on the start page. No improvement whatsoever over the old. What are these a-wipes thinking? Fortunately, my local Fox affiliate has a fairly decent weather site, because Weather Underground is completely useless now.
The site has been up and down all week and today it's just 404 page not found. I give up, if WU wants a useless site, so be it. I won't go there.

Updating my review from 3 weeks ago where I assigned 1 star - now giving it 4 stars since the graphs have reverted to how they used to look. Glad that IBM is responding to all the recent terrible reviews. Still not 5 stars because the top of the display still shows a giant temperature readout, which is a waste of screen real estate.

WU was my favorite weather app and I turned a lot of people on to it. Now it stinks. Great graphs have been replaced by much sparser views. Time to find a different weather app...

Was an Intellicast user for many years but no longer. This take over from Weather Underground (The Weather Channel) is slow, cumbersome and full of worthless features that make it hard to find a simple forecast. Awash with maps I could not care less about I miss the simplicity of Intellicast that would give you a daily or 10 day forecast that was up and visible as soon as you keyed in the location. Did 10 year olds create this "new" website. Would give this zero stars if it was an option.
I'm out!

According to Wikipedia, Intellicast now falls under their cloud platform group. It's a very bad advertisement for their cloud when the forecast page won't even load for days on end. IBM has bet most of their marbles on cloud and software. IBM used to be good in the hardware business, but they've failed with their transition to software. I am sick of this daily reminder as I watch the WU graph icon spinning and never loading. Wonder where the Intellicast wizard architects are nowadays.

I paid for a yearly subscription. The radar does not predict. It only goes from past to "now". I want future predictions and can't find a way to get that. Even free aps have future predictions.

I suspect the new ownership by Weather Channel represents a conflict with the concept of unbiased crowd-sourced data. Either that or some WC genius totally screwed the pooch on merging infrastructure and managing WU talent retention. Either way a once great community is going to fragment. Cant even submit a problem report as presumably all the WU emails are inactive. I never bothered with weather channel in the past because... well weather channel...

Seriously, their geography is wrong, the satellite functions don't work, and the forecasts are wildly inaccurate. The site is a collection of widgets which often don't load properly. I'm not a big conspiracy guy, but I suspect it was bought by IBM and allowed to rot on the vine, so to speak, to eliminate competition for their other weather sites (which are also not very good). Before that purchase, it was probably the best site for my area. However, IBM's Weather Underground is an extremely poor service/site.

I have been a WU fan and subscriber for years. I have also talked with others about its accuracy and functionality and many of them shifted to it as well. I absolutely hate the updated app and no longer use it. The ability of using portrait mode on my iPad is gone, precipitation forecast totals is gone and the other changes are hard to use/understand. Not sure who thought all of this change was a good idea, but hope they are happy with the number of users and paid advertisers they are losing.

I'm mourning the loss of Intellicast, too, but earlier today I stumbled on https://96.8.93.198

Would someone please try http://96.8.93.198
https://96.8.93.198
Or 96. 8. 93. 198?

Please report if it works.

It looks like the old Intellicast site, EXCEPT without advertisements. I don't think it's an old image of the site, as everything LOOKS up to date. On some machines the "https :// "; prevents getting to the proper site, or on others, is seems needed (please excuse me, I'm NOT a software engineer). Same with the "http :// ".

Here's hoping it continues to work, if it's real. Please let us know.

New app design is poorly designed with graphics that make no logical sense. I do not use the app to see pretty adds and confusing app design that leaves one wondering if you even considered the users desires in a weather app. Interestingly one of my devices has kept the old app and another device deployed the new app. Put them side by side and all you can do is shake your head and wonder "What are they thinking?" Why not offer two apps, the old one for people who want functionality and the new app for those that don't know the difference.
