User Reviews

Users appreciated the app's clear, reliable weather info and neat display before recent updates. However, many report issues after updates: removal of widget options, missing video forecasts, unreliable or delayed weather alerts, inaccurate radar/map alignment, data inaccuracies, slow loading, frequent crashes, and ad-related performance problems. These consistent issues have led users to lose trust and consider alternative apps despite liking the app's original design and features.

Pros

Originally had reliable and clear weather information
Clean and neat display setup and functionality
Good weather animation timeline and maps (before recent updates)
Favorite app for weather forecasts in the past

Cons

Recent updates removed preferred widget sizes, limiting home screen customization
Video weather content and forecasts are missing or unavailable
Weather alerts are delayed, not sent, or not reliable
Map and radar alignment is often inaccurate; radar data is glitchy or off-track
App frequently crashes or fails to load, especially after updates
Weather data (daily forecast, temperatures, precipitation) often inaccurate or inconsistent with TV reports
App performance is slow with long loading times and excessive ads causing delays

I'm not sure if your developer is aware of this but this app has a bug that is impairing the ability to maintain stable functioning. I have been forced to uninstall and reinstall the app several times within the past few days when I tried to open the weather radar portion of the app and it didn't respond. In other words, the page would open and display activity but it wouldn't display current weather progression.
