Used to be amazing but now it freezes constantly, widget doesn't work, etc. Other weather apps are better.

Very intuitive to use and CLEAN UNCLUTTERED interfaces. The right amount of weather information I need. (Most other weather apps are overly BEAUTIFIED to read.) ▶UPDATE - This APP too frequently gets UNRESPONSIVE while on (even strong) mobile networks.
