What happened?

This worked last week. But now, as soon as you get rid of the ad, it’s just a blank screen. No matter what I do. Nothing to update.

Update

Open the app to see a window to “Update”. No update available. Delete the app and download again…only to see a window to “Update”…don’t need this. Useless, has no news to relay only a black screen

Crashes and closes when you click on weather

The whole reason I want this app if for weather and all of a sudden you click on weather and it crashes and closes the app completely.
