However, multiple recent issues have been noted: widget functionality and size changes reduce home screen usability; removal of temperature from the notification bar has frustrated users; location tracking via 'Follow Me' is unreliable; radar data is sometimes inaccurate; and persistent push notifications for minor weather events are considered overwhelming.
