9/2018: Installed new app. Can't zoom in the maps. There's a tiny grid overlaying US map in top right of one, but can't figure out how to move to a different area of the country. Under "maps and radar" there are 10+ choices but no radar! And the only way to choose between those many options is to swipe thru them to get the one I want; whatever happened to menus so I can go directly to the one I want? Uninstalling again. 9/2017: Used the old NECN weather app till the data stopped. The new one doesn't have forecasts in words, just pretty pictures that take a lot more space and convey less info. Uninstalled app and will use bookmark to NWS webpage instead. Too bad. The old one was so good, had more info in less space, making it easier to use. Bring back the 10 day forecast on one screen without scrolling.

The iOS compatibility issue was what led us to shut down the old app now, instead of at a later date. We are very sorry that you don’t like the weather design in our app. Email me directly at mfortier@necn.com if you have specific questions.

I don't understand what the heck is wrong with this app. I have it because it really does seem to be the best local/regional WEATHER app, and I specifically am not interested in the news side of it (although I'm a loyal NECN TV watcher, since its inception). BUT NOTIFICATIONS!!!!! I have severe weather notifications tiurned on, it's the point of the app for me. But I have ALL News notifications OFF, including specifically SPORTS... as someone who almost always is watching TV (including sports) time shifted I DO NOT WANT THESE. So why EVERY DAMNED WEEK does my phone beep me the latest Patriots game result while I'M general either still in the middle of watching it or not even home to START yet. Again, my SPORTS NOTIFICATIONS SETTING IS TURNED *OFF*!!! Few things in the world irritate me more than spoilers, and if it's sports, I won't even bother watching the rest of the game if I know how it ends. RESPECT MY SETTINGS!!!!

I used to enjoy the app for it's hourly forcast feature. A quick glance at the hourly weather icons would allow me to easily plan my day. Now, in the latest update, the icon sizes are so small, it's no longer (senior) vision-friendly. Other new, undesirable qualities also experienced. UPDATE: I was able to copy a previous version from another device and install on my phone. All is now well with the world, and I am once again a happy camper. Will avoid updates without reviewing negative comments.
