Video forecasts do not work. App crashes and my phone even tells me it's got a bug

Locations does not work right. Even after entering the zip code it still says to enter the location. 12/6/21. Add location still does not work. Loses locations on every update:( also the lightning overlay does not remain selected. Still doesn’t keep lightning overlay selected.
