I've watched wdef weather since I was a child. I'm 57 now. Every single little thing about your app SUX!!!!!!! Nothing ever works. WDEF local futurecast on line is just as haphazardly, intermittently accessible and dysfunctional. Seems as if you'd get something right.

The update killed it for me. Uninstalled and replaced with the abc 3340 weather app, that's the same layout as the earlier (good) version.
