### 3/5 — Better but still needs work

*2026-06-11*

The Daily Sections seem to have been fixed so that they are no longer too sensitive to the touch. Thank you for that!
The hourly still has the same problem as before. It’s still too sensitive. So you lose a star.
Also fixed is the glitch that made viewing the video/forecast difficult to switch back to the app’s home page. It’s much better.
I like the improvements to the radar, too.
But when you really need it, like to see severe weather coming, it’s too inconsistent. I had severe weather coming today and could not use the radar. It was showing from 6 hours earlier, and would not update. That doesn’t help any. And not the only time this has happened.

### 2/5 — C’mon… the ads make this unusable

*2026-03-12*

The “Important Weather Alert” video I waited for through an awful ad to watch was literally fewer than five seconds long and had no audio description. It jumped right into another ad, so I had no opportunity to rewind or pause it.

### 3/5 — Better but still needs work

*2026-01-09, version 6.1.302*

The Hourly and Daily Sections seem to have been fixed so that they are no longer too sensitive to the touch. Thank you for that!
Update: Actually only the daily forecast section has been fixed. The hourly still has the same problem as before. It’s still too sensitive. So you lose a star.
Also fixed is the glitch that made viewing the video/forecast difficult to switch back to the app’s home page. It’s much better.
I like the improvements to the radar, too.
Keep working on it.

### 4/5 — Much Better. Good work!

Keep up the good work! If further updates work as well as this one does, and on a consistent basis, you’ll get that 5th star!

### 1/5 — Update still needs work, you lose a star because over a year later it hasn’t been fixed

*2025-10-13*

The Hourly Section is too sensitive. You lose another star because you STILL haven’t fixed this. But hey, maybe I’m being unfair. Maybe you just haven’t had enough time, it’s only been OVER a year now.
Sometimes I just want to swipe to see a few hours ahead, but every time I even barely graze this area, it always switches me to the full screen Hourly forecast. If I wanted the full Hourly screen, I’d have chosen it at the bottom of the screen.
Also, when you click to the video to see the day’s forecast, you can’t get back to the Home Screen afterwards. You have to exit the app altogether. Very annoying.
Lastly, radar now takes way too long to load.
Radar sometimes won’t load at all. As severe weather gets to be more of a risk, this becomes more important to fix, please.  Having the radar load is a safety issue. Thanks.

### 2/5 — Update still needs work, you lose a star because months later it hasn’t been fixed

*2025-04-28*

The Hourly Section is too sensitive. Sometimes I just want to swipe to see a few hours ahead, but every time I even touch this area, it always switches me to the full screen Hourly forecast. If I wanted the full Hourly screen, I’d have chosen it at the bottom of the screen.
Also, I’d like to be able to customize the radar to always show my preference of showing both clouds and precipitation, instead of having to customize this every time I visit the app.
Lastly, when you click to the video to see the day’s forecast, you can’t get back to the Home Screen afterwards. You have to exit the app altogether. Very annoying.

### 3/5 — Glitch in the app over a year

*2025-04-17*

There’s an issue when trying to slide through the day forecast and with the 10 day forecast. I cannot slide through without it opening up the whole section on weather. We used to be able to just slide through the spots without opening the whole new tab. I’ll give the last two stars when this gets fixed.
