Recent reviews

In many ways, I really love this app. However, there's one glitch that's hard for me to look past. When I receive my notifications about hail, lightning, severe storms, etc and it says this activity is within 15 miles of me, I look on app map and find out the storms are more like 115 miles from me. It used to be accurate until this latest update. I've checked and rechecked my locations and permissions to make sure they're accurate. News9, what can I do??
