## Review summary

Users generally like the app for being easy to use and providing weather information, with trusted forecasts and useful features like VIPER live radar and alerts. However, repeated complaints center on stability and performance after updates (crashes, restarts), removal of critical features (watch/warning boxes, tornado/storm directions, warning pathways, past/future radar view, earthquake option) and degraded radar/data quality (outdated graphics, not showing storms, inaccurate precipitation). Data gaps include missing nationwide temps and disappearing temperature in notifications. Overall, the update worsened the experience and users urge restoring functionality and improving real-time data.

### Pros

- Easy to use with clear information
- Useful VIPER live radar feature for precise rain/snow timing
- Credible forecasts from trusted meteorologists (e.g., Joanne Feldman)
- Weather alerts/notifications keep you informed
- App is portable and goes with you on the go

### Cons

- Frequent crashes after updates; instability and restarts
- Removal of critical features and data (watch/warning boxes; tornado/storm directions; warning pathways; past/future radar; earthquake option)
- Poor radar accuracy and data quality (not up-to-date radar; storms not shown; outdated graphics)
- Data coverage gaps (no nationwide temps; missing major city temperatures; disappearance of notification temperature)
- Overall update degrades user experience and performance
