Completely useless

Calls for 85% rain up to an hour prior and then 0%. Happens ALL the time. TRASH

New map/radar is terrible

The old version of the radar was much easier to navigate. This one is difficult to zoom in or out because it moves all over the place. I have given myself some time to adjust to this newer version but it is just terrible. I have used this app in Wisconsin for many years and now in Florida for the past 3, but I will be looking for a new weather/radar app until this is changed.

So sorry you changed this app!
Now it doesn’t show earthquakes from the rest of the world anymore! This has been very important to me!
Oh well, I guess I have to find a new weather app!
