New Weather App (Updated to 1.2; Now Hurricane and Storm Tracking)

[wsi]

Yesterday I saw an add for an app called WUSA Radar, and when I went to check it out, it looks *identical* to WVEC Radar and it is by the same company. Why did they release 2 identical apps with different names -- is there any difference between these apps?

Thanks for your comment.

The underlying engine for this app is shared across ALL our station portfolio. Each app is "skinned" to represent the stations brand, however each stations app has different functionality, this includes such things as the stations own Local High Resolution Radar and video etc. We're also working to add more and more of the stations local content so that app may look similar but will contain content local to that station.

Differences

So, the only things that I saw that were different between these particular 2 apps were the WVEC has Storm Tracks and Tropical Tracks and the WUSA does not. The radar resolution looks the same and I don't see anything else different. Is this the case currently or am I missing something? When will this be added to the WUSA app?

Thanks!

WUSA does not currently have Local High Res radar available. The next version currently waiting for review with Apple will contain Storm Tracks, Tropical Tracks and WUSA Video.
