App Issues

| July 1, 2015 @ 8:52 am

Most all of you have noticed by now the “James Spann 24/7” app is not functioning. The issue started early yesterday, and there has been no resolution as of this morning.

It seems as though the company that developed the app for us has been sold, and they have decided “not to support” it anymore. Very frustrating, and we are working on a quick fix with a new developer. Hopefully the app will be operational again very soon.

I am truly sorry about the inconvenience… I am honored that you have downloaded this app, and I don’t take your loyalty for granted. I am honored you are coming here for weather information.

The goal of the James Spann 24/7 app was to have all of my products and services available in one place on a phone or tablet.

With the app being down, I just wanted to let you know how to get all of the various products that are on the app.

WEATHER BLOG: If you are reading this, then you are on the blog. I post two detailed meteorological discussions daily here, and during active weather the blog is updated very frequently. Our posts are written by meteorologists that understand Alabama weather, and the needs of the people that live here. We work long hours keeping this updated.

SEVEN DAY FORECAST: Our seven day is available on the blog anytime here.

WEATHER XTREME VIDEO: This twice daily video is embedded in the blog discussions I write. You can also see the video via YouTube here. And, we also offer this video as a video podcast… just search for Weather Xtreme video in your favorite podcast app. Here is a link to the iTunes version.

WEATHERBRAINS: Our weekly show all about weather has a video and an audio version. For the audio podcast, just search for “Weatherbrains” in your favorite podcast app; here is a link to the audio files from our provider, Libsyn. For the video version, here is the YouTube link.

And, for show notes and more details on the show, just see the Weatherbrains web site. We produce the show most weeks Monday night at 8:30 CT… here is a link to the live stream and chat room. You can also watch it on our digital weather channel, “James Spann 24/7” on cable systems around the state.

SUMBIT PICTURES/VIDEO: One of the great parts of the app was the ability to do this easily. You can send pictures or video to me anytime via email directly.

SOCIAL MEDIA: You can find me on all of the major social networks here… you can always submit pictures, ask questions, or share comments on any of these platforms.

Again, as soon as I know more about the status of the app I will post it here. Thanks for being patient…
