## Review summary

Users praise the app for reliable radar data, forecasts, timely alerts, and versatile location management. However, multiple reviews cite update-related issues: non-working widgets, degraded radar controls, removal of familiar features, and manual temp refresh. Launch problems and long splash screens add to frustrations. Overall sentiment is mixed: strong core weather features are valued, but widget/radar problems and update changes drive most complaints.

### Pros

- Radar data with hourly/10-day forecasts and multi-location support.
- Timely alerts and up-to-date weather information.
- Dependable and fast performance with generally positive sentiment.
- Strong location management and search features (city/ZIP search and nicknames).

### Cons

- Widgets do not function properly (broken or non-responsive at-a-glance widgets).
- Radar/overlay controls degraded after updates (speed too fast, can’t switch past/future view, unreadable city markers).
- Updates removed or altered key features (5-day widget, auto-rotate, warning interactions).
- Current temperature no longer auto-updates on home screen; requires opening the app.
- App launch issues and long splash screens sometimes prevent use.
