### 1/5 — Map is Buggy

*2023-08-13*

The radar map repeatedly flashes and I can never see the weather for more than a second on there.

### 1/5 — FIX ALERT OVERLAYS!!!

*2023-03-26*

Same issue as your Dallas counterpart’s app…EVERY time you open the satellite map view, each and every alert type is activated. Even when you remove all of the alerts and just switch to hourly view - when you go back to map view all alerts are magically re-activated!  This is the most ridiculous pain in the *ss function I have encountered in ANY app I have ever installed since IOS1!!!  

For the love of all that is good in this world…PLEASE fix this crAPP!

### 4/5 — Need to fix fonts being used

*2020-05-02*

Ya put the temperature and feels like across the top with the a picture of city or whatever but the font is a thin white font that pretty much blends in with everything in the background- fonts should be changed and updated

### 2/5 — Last update

*2025-12-14*

New update completely messed up the map and radar. It doesn’t always open and when it does it lags behind. They ruined a decent app.
