As Leigh Valley expatriates, we became dependent on WFMZ for their forecasts, as well as news. We've not found another local news station, but the WFMZ Weather App still gives us a forecast up here just short of the Canadian border. I'm certain the forecast is not prepared especially for us, and is a "canned" forecast from another source. However, the forecast is nearly as "dead on" as it was back in Lehigh County. Thanks, WFMZ!!

Lately I've had to uninstall and reinstall the app because it keeps crashing I've had to put it in deep sleep to keep it from crashing I've had this app for quite some time was very pleased with it, I've noticed that it has new features to it now could that maybe be why it keeps crashing don't know but could you check into this before I have to find another one I will if it keeps crashing

Works great except doesn't update temp in status bar unless you open app, I thought the temp in status bar was supposed to show updated status, when I glimpse at phone to see temp it's always wrong

This app is a great alternative to the weather channel app which recently became unusable due to constant ads. The Radar is great, and it's a nice feature to have the local forecast from the news available.

For now, I am no longer using this local weather app since it has issues that aren't getting fixed. The widget doesn't auto update unless I click on it. The temp no longer shows in the drop-down menu. I can no longer see the important dew points unless, according to WFM that I shrink my fonts down tiny size, that's not acceptable? I only use it now for radar until they fix this. I'm running through latest software.

69 News WX App: Weather videos will not play. Ads play and then App crashes.

As a few others have pointed out, the app has now become almost unusable. The immediate home screen, immediate daily screen, and radar (mostly) works fine, but scroll down on the home screen, try to go to hourly screen, or tap to get more details on the daily screen and the app crashes. I guess it has a problem handling the hourly data. One person said they had an S7, and I am also using an S7, I don't know if this is relevant to the problem. Lowered to 1 star for taking months to fix this.
