## Review summary

Most reviews are negative after updates, citing loss of useful features, a clunky UI, and delayed data. The core strengths cited are reliable severe-weather alerts, radar tracking, and weekly forecasts. The dominant sentiment is that updates degraded functionality and usability, though some users still value the app’s long history and weather information.

### Pros

- Severe weather warnings and alerts that help keep users informed and safe
- Radar/map view allows tracking of storms and accessing forecasts visually
- Longstanding, trusted app used by many for years
- Forecasts for the week and upcoming days provide planning insight

### Cons

- Major updates removed or degraded key features (e.g., trackers, selectable information) and worsened the overall UX
- Perceived lag or delay in data; not consistently real-time for alerts and storm information
- Radar/Map controls are clunky and users cannot easily view alerts and radar on the same screen
- Radar loop controls and past/future view options have become difficult or impossible to use (e.g., switching between 4h and 1h, inability to view past and future simultaneously)
- Map performance issues such as freezing and unresponsiveness
