New apps for WDTN.com

WDTN.com has provided news, weather and information to you through mobile apps since 2009. Over the years, we've released several upgrades to our mobile apps to help support new devices and their new features.

As part of a continuous drive to provide our viewers with the most innovative news coverage across all devices, we've significantly upgraded our apps in the last few days to take advantage of exciting new features of mobile devices.

This also means we're asking you to install a new app on your device. To install the new WDTN.com app, please click here to install the new WDTN.com app. You'll also want to delete this current app to prevent confusion and to continue to receive the same level of coverage you've counted on from WDTN.com.

Why are we changing?
The app you are currently using is being discontinued in favor of a new app from WDTN.com. To continue receiving all the news, information, weather alerts, closings and more delivered right to your device, we are requiring users of our older apps to install a new one. This means users of our tablet, smartphone and mobile apps will now receive the same features simultaneously with each new release.

Why can't I continue to use the current app?
WDTN.com strives to provide the latest technologies and take advantage of the latest features of cell phones, smartphones, tablets and eReaders—all in a single app that works across all devices. Unfortunately, the app you are using is incompatible with this goal. It is being disabled after November 30, 2012 and will no longer receive new updates and news from WDTN.

What do I need to do?
You'll need to install our new app on your device. To install the new WDTN.com app, please click here (or paste https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/wdtn-2-news/id488539385?ls=1&mt=8 in your browser's address bar) to install the new WDTN.com app. You'll also want to make sure you delete this current app from your phone or tablet to prevent confusion so that you can continue to receive the same level of coverage you've counted on from WDTN.com.

What's new about this app?
We've listened to our viewers, and added the features that prepare you for your day—by providing up to the minute weather alerts, closings, and news alerts—all in the palm of your hand. Some features and improvements include:
   — Easier to use: We've improved every aspect of the new app—from the navigation to the display of stories. Larger images and headlines, one-click video, succinct and easier navigation and easier to find related stories.
   — An improved weather experience: Our new and improved interactive radar provides FutureCast, animated radars, tons of additional overlays (including snow totals, rain totals and temperature forecasts); an improved forecast page and nearly instant severe weather alerts to keep you and your family safe.
   — A more robust app: We've introduced lots of new features, such as live streaming, breaking news alerts and an improved weather experience. Not only have we introduced new features, we've upgraded our app to allow us to add new features without having to upgrade your app.
   — ReportIt! integration: Now you can submit photos, videos and news tips directly through the app. Now, when you snap a photo of a weather or news event, it's even easier to send in your news directly to our staff.
 

How long do I have to upgrade?

While we will continue to support the current app you're using for a short period, after November 30, 2012, your app will no longer work and you will be forced to upgrade to the latest WDTN.com app. Please take the opportunity now to download the latest app to take advantage of all the great new features from WDTN.com.
