Very frustrated user here, I want to rant but I know it won't do any good. I'm a long time user of Intellicast and now that's gone and I'm left with nothing but FRUSTRATION trying to use this new program wondercrap. It is without a doubt, the worse attempt at something new and great that I've ever seen and trust me, there's plenty of crap websites out there to frustrate all of us, I think this one takes close to first place. I've been in computers both hardware and software since 1962 (yep, I'm old) and in all that time I've seen some great stuff and some crappy stuff and this is crappy stuff.

I'm thinking that what's going on in the software design and creation field is that there are very few people that know how to design software, then code such software and then test said software. This is not unique to designs for the web as I find the same poor execution within all platforms for software including IOS apps, Android etc.

On top of all this - the lack of support and testing has come to roost now, it's at it's lowest I've ever seen it.

I have tried to move to Weather Underground but nothing seems to work. I'm in Bloomington, MN but cannot get rid of Bloomington, IN for some reason, it's like it's built into the stupid program and everytime I turn around I've got maybe upwards of 15 to 20 Bloomington, IN in my favorite list and CANNOT get rid of them and if I manage to reduct the number of them to one or two entries, all of a sudden 15 or 20 or so of them come back all along the top at the favorites bar. Also, how come you can't delete weather stations?

Anyway, my blood pressure is getting up there so I'll quit my rant. Sorry if I offended anyone - but how in heck can this attempt just be ditched and we can have Intellicast back?

At least until the development team (if there is one) can redo this crap attempt.
