Features & Capabilities

The power of Queen City News’s PinPoint Weather team is in the palm of your hand with the completely overhauled PinPoint Weather App. It’s never been easier to ditch the default weather app! • Get current forecasts at a glance, with fully integrated GPS to pinpoint weather conditions wherever you are. • The interactive radar map allows you to track rain and storms in real time, and lets you zoom all the way down to your exact location (within a few hundred feet!). • Daily and hourly forecasts to help you plan around the weather and reign over your day. • Video forecasts from Chief Meteorologist Tara Lane and the PinPoint Weather Team for those times when it helps to have a bit more context from trusted experts. • Stream severe weather coverage live right in the app to help you protect what matters most. • Customize your notifications to only be alerted to the advisories, watches, and warnings for your preferred location(s). • Share your weather photos and videos to help tell the full weather story (and potentially see them on Queen City News!)

User Reviews

User feedback is mixed: a minority praise the radar accuracy, speed, and certain update details, but a strong majority criticize the redesign for its chaotic UI and difficult navigation. Recurrent issues include map alerts overlaying the radar, which obscures precipitation data, and a pattern of users planning to delete or switch to another app. A few positives note a cleaner look and more information in updates, yet overall usability improvements and overlay controls are the primary needs.

Pros

Radar is extremely accurate and forecast is reliable.
The app feels fast and smooth.
Some users appreciate the cleaner look and added information in the latest update.

Cons

The new update is chaotic, visually cluttered, and hard to navigate.
UI overhaul makes navigation messy and less intuitive than the previous version.
Alerts/overlays on the map obscure the radar view and require turning off overlays.
Many users say they will delete or switch to another weather app due to the changes.

Recent reviews

The Queen City News Pinpoint Weather app is by far the best weather app in the Charlotte region. It beats out all the other TV stations apps by far. The radar is extremely accurate and the projected forecast is nearly always right every day. Thank you for updating often and creating a great app!
