Inconsistent with TV and website forecast
I set 2 locations in this app: where I live (Uptown) and where I go to work (downtown). Since channel 7 is located on State and Lake downtown, you would think the forecast on my locations in the app would match what the forecast is on ABCs Channel 7 News, right?! Wrong!
Today is the day before the 2nd "Polar Vortex." Im watching the Channel 7 News right now and also looking at their website. They both say the hi/low is supposed to be -5/-19 for Monday and -3/-7 for Tuesday. The app says Monday is supposed to be 10/-8 and Tuesday is 0/-14. I can understand a little variance, but that difference is ridiculous!
The news is urging its watchers to download this app, so I did. Before they mention it so much, they should probably make sure its working correctly. The layout is nice and I like the fact that you can set different locations. But if a weather app doesnt report the correct weather (as much as 15 degrees off), its completely useless! Im extremely disappointed in this app!!!
BTW: I also downloaded the WGN Weather app. It works just fine and reports consistent numbers with the TV, websites, and radio stations.
