Best weather forecast available! NECN is my go-to weather forecast, especially for their 10 Day Extended Forecast. The other stations keep updating and changing their forecasts whereas NECN gets it right from the start.

Have had this app for awhile a couple years and recently parts of the app don't load & cause it to crash. Plus, the Weather portion af the app keeps going to Boston and NOT my current location! I do have location on! I have a Samsung Galaxy S7. I also used to like a preference setting ...that when I opened up the app, that it would go to the Weather 1st before the News. Also, I think there are too many options/choices in the app which can make it cumbersome to some people!

I had to uninstall this app, I went through all the motions to disable every single notification except the weather notification bar and for some reason I still see Robert Kraft, sports nonsense, and political garbage. Fix your notifications and make that weather bar useful again. I've been a loyal user for years, but I refuse to use an app that's going to ping me all day long with things I've already turned off.

Sep 5 2019 update horrible. Radar now has past radar loop merged with future radar loop, with no "now" to identify facts (past observations) with future predictions. I don't want to see predictions in radar in the same loop. Totally confusing because it showed something that hadn't happened, but initially I thought already happened until I saw time. Furthermore, no slider available, no speed control. This is now just another crappy app from another crappy developer.

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!!!!

Best ever!!!!!!!!!!! I enjoy this app because i have my own painting company and I rely on the weather and NECN gives the best out with its ten day forecast! video comes right up and even the the sound could be louder its worth it!
