User reviews

Users appreciate the app's accurate weather forecasts, attractive layout, and inclusion of local news and live streaming. However, multiple users report recurring bugs such as freezing, slow loading, and failure of widgets and notifications to update unless the app is actively opened. Severe weather alerts sometimes fail or ignore user sound settings. The live stream feature times out quickly, and a few users mention battery drain issues. Overall, many are dissatisfied with recent updates causing loss of functionality and consistency.

Whenever I want to watch the news Livestream, it times out after about 4 minutes and pauses. I have to go back to the home page to reselect the Livestream in order to continue watching. I can't just hit pay again. Impossible to actually use as a streaming option.

Dew Point is missing from home screen (of app)! All other information is there - temp, % RH, etc... but especially for summer DP is critical info! Was of course fine until this latest update/refresh...
