Add dew point

Updates are better, I would love to see the dew point listed like your previous app had.

Please fix the crashes!!

Wont stop crashing. Every time I open up a push notification the app immediately crashes and the push notification is lost so I have no way of viewing the story if it is not listed on the homepage yet. The app will also randomnly crash when browsing news stories. Please fix. This would be a 4-star app if I could use it

Notifications Dont Work

Notifications dont work. Click on a notification and get spinning wheel.

Please dont replace the old neon weather app

The new weather app pales in comparison to the old app. Its not intuitive, difficult to set favorite sites, does not even show where youve selected. Please keep it!!!!

Ok but needs Apple TV 4 compatibility

The app itself works fine on my iPad but it would be 100% more useful if it went universal to work on my Apple TV 4. Thats where I watch most of my news now and Ive been watching CBS local news instead, since theyre already on that device.

Stay away

App is great. One of my favorite weather apps. Except it prompts you to download its sister app Boston News, EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU OPEN THE WEATHER APP! So, go download their news app and dont bother with it...the weather app STILL PROMPTS YOU TO DOWNLOAD THE NEWS APP EVEN THOUGH YOU DID! Prompt never goes away, you have to click a tiny (Later) bar at the bottom to disregard the download, but youll often miss the little disregard bar and end up at the App Store when you just wanted to quickly we weather radar. Disappointing

Awful update.

Unable to read stories where there is an accompanying video. Automatically commences the video. Then when I tried to email the app developer the link to the email doesnt work properly. I deleted the app altogether. Too Annoying.

Dysfunctional webview wrapper

*installs update* *opens app from push notification* *content is frozen and will not scroll* Yup its ready to go live! It builds, ship it! Do not install this app.

Hate it now

After this last update I hate the app now. It automatically starts a commercial video when you click a link for a story.

"Stay Away" is spot on

That highly annoying "Later" bar just keeps coming back like a mosquito you can never swat. FIX THIS!

If it aint broke dont update it...

From app to crap in 3... 2... 1... :(

Too much scrolling

Bring back the old weather app. There is too much scrolling required in the new weather app.

The videos...

Was a great app, but went to crap when they made videos auto play without a way to turn them off.

Good but....

This is a good app for news, like the news channel though it is very Massachusetts centric and although you can tell it you want to get news in your home state, its still will default to Massachusetts. The other complaint is that the videos on a lot of the news articles open automatically and I can find no way to prevent this happening and it is VERY annoying.

Poor upgrade

I prefer the previous version.

Original NECN weather app was better!

Loved the original NECN Weather app. Update with News app is not an improvement! Not easy to set locations, and have to scroll forever to get daily and hourly updates. Ill stick with original NECN weather app as long as I can!

First to worst

KISS - keep it simple. This was my (and lots of guys I know) only app we needed to figure out the day. Now its just brutal. I dont want hundreds of headlines and adverts and weather being a tiny blurb on a backpage if I swipe the right direction. Its New England. Weather matters. You had the best easiest-to-use app there was and now its just another typical crappy news/advert app. Horrible. KISS - thats all.

Awful

New version, still no landscape support. How can you say that you support iPad, but no sign of landscape support?

Ruined

You took my best news app and ruined it. If I cant use it in landscape mode, I cant use it. You really had the easiest news app to negotiate. In the name of "improvement" you destroyed it. It was my "go to" app for news. Its now my "gone" app. Delete

What a waste!

No landscape mode on iPad makes this app useless! How difficult can it be to make it work in native mode? Dont even bother with this dog!
