Multiple users report the new update causes connection issues, app crashes, and loading failures despite having internet access. The updated app has removed important features like sunrise/sunset times and extended forecasts, introduced a confusing and less appealing interface, and increased ads and notifications. Because of these issues, many users are frustrated and considering uninstalling, longing for the previous version's simplicity and reliability. ### Pros - Accurate local weather updates especially useful for travelers and pet sitters. - Previously had a good and informative user interface. - Some users found it useful for Spokane and nearby locations. - Provides notifications like lightning detection within proximity. - Includes features for radar and weather maps (prior to redesign). ### Cons - New app update caused inability to connect despite active internet connection (WiFi and data). - App frequently crashes, freezes, or gets stuck on loading screen after update. - Old features such as sunrise/sunset times, extended forecasts, and map layers removed in redesign. - User interface became confusing, harder to navigate, and less visually appealing (cartoon-like). - Increased number of intrusive advertisements after update. - Accuracy issues with temperature forecasts especially nighttime temps. - Regular and excessive push notifications perceived as annoying. - Some users experienced bugs like location information not displaying properly. ## Similar extensions and apps - [KEYC First Alert Weather](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.keyc.android.weather) — 33,745 users, 4.76 / 5 - [KXII 12 First Alert Weather](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.kxii.android.weather) — 65,260 users, 4.52 / 5 - [KEYT-KKFX First Alert](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.keyt.android.weather) — 10,219 users, 3.51 / 5 - [KTXS Weather](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.ktxs.android.weather) — 39,339 users, 4.67 / 5 - [KXLF STORMTracker Weather App](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.kxlf.android.weather) — 2,555 users, 4.55 / 5 - [KOLD First Alert Weather](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.kold.android.weather) — 69,722 users, 4.51 / 5 - [KXLH STORMTracker Weather](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.kxlh.android.weather) — 2,156 users, 4.33 / 5 - [KFYR-TV First Warn Weather](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.kfyr.android.weather) — 42,989 users, 4.53 / 5 - [KQCD-TV First Warn Weather](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.kqcd.android.weather) — 2,056 users, 4.31 / 5 - [KLTV First Alert Weather](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.kltv.android.weather) — 286,369 users, 3.67 / 5 - [KCBD First Alert Weather](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.kcbd.android.weather) — 108,347 users, 4.72 / 5 - [Storm Team 12](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.kwch.android.weather) — 349,436 users, 4.60 / 5 --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.kxly.android.weather)
