Weather Underground took over Intellicast earlier this month, and have ruined that site too. nefarious effort to push their network at all costs - it saddens me as I still can't find an app I like as well. Whatever has happened - neglect, starved for resources by the parent company. Only today I tried that again and found, after briefly showing me the KNYC report, it redirects to some garbage station that is 8 degrees hotter. A few weeks ago I thought I found a hack and found the old station-based URL's worked. They also have completely obfuscated all of the NWS stations, making them impossible to find and stick. The website has slowed to the point of being unusable. (Though amusingly, push alerts still work). Maybe it traces to the fact that I have a "no ads" subscription, which they broke in a release earlier this year, then fixed.
The app (at least for me) is completely unusable. Anyone have any insider perspective on why their mobile app and web site have slid into irrelevance? I know they have had ownership changes that have likely triggered this, but after years of evolving their utilitarian sites into a really elegant and highly usable UI:
