I just got the new update. The previous versions were definitely more user friendly. I liked the app much better in the previous format. Since the update to the current format, the radar pictures barely even move. I liked it better before when I could bring up the app and instantly see the moving radar images for my location. The newest version also has much more intrusive ads that pop up randomly.
