User Reviews

Overview of user feedback shows high regard for accuracy, timeliness, and usability, with praise for local-focused features like the rain/radar map. However, several reviews point to post-update issues, including crashes, instability, and temperature data not updating or appearing in the widget. A few reports indicate missing or region-limited weather warnings, reducing reliability for storms. Some users also lament update-driven UI changes that confuse users. Overall, the app is favored for its accuracy and design, but ongoing maintenance is needed to restore stability after updates.
