This thing says 89MB. When I went in storage it was almost 4GB!!

I recommend NOT using this app because it is so inaccurate on weather and storms. It will say something like 80% chance of thunderstorms, but it will be completely sunny when its supposed to happen!! I recommend using DarkSky or the default weather app made by apple. The one made by apple is so much more accurate, gives you more information on world-wide things like temperature, humidity, pressure, the amount of rainfall in the next 24 hours, or in the last 24 hours, updates you on weather more frequently then this one. WKBN 27 Weather is just plain bad!
