## Review summary

Users largely praise OHIO WX for real-time alerts, quick, accurate information, and easy, planning-friendly weather data. However, repeated reviews center on major issues after updates: radar features degrade (too fast, no pause, past data removed), app slows or is unreliable to open, forecast accuracy has declined, and UI changes make alerts harder to access. Many request widgets and additional data (dew point, pollen/air quality) and want a more streamlined UX.

### Pros

- Real-time alerts and timely weather updates.
- Accurate and quick weather information when the app is functioning well.
- Easy-to-use, comprehensive interface that presents weather data clearly.
- Useful for planning local weather and travel.

### Cons

- Radar functionality degraded after updates (too fast, hard to pause, past data removed).
- Slowness and reliability issues (slow to open, frequently unavailable).
- Forecast accuracy has declined post-update (not as reliable as before).
- UI/UX changes hinder usability (alerts buried under prompts, past/future toggle cumbersome).
- Missing features (widgets, dew point, pollen/air quality data) are repeatedly requested.
