Fix the clock!

The time on the radar page no longer advances when you slide the bar towards the right to see the future storm movement. You can see the storm coming towards you, but the clock no longer advances to show the time of arrival at your location. Please fix!!!

Good app but last update broke the best part

8.8 iPad app update broke the time counter on the future radar...future radar still works but if you are looking ahead you can no longer tell when storm will be here. Please fix.

Radar is no good

Radar refreshes too fast which makes it impossible to track storms. The storm tracker is out of sync with the radar also.
