Boring

New app looks like every other bad weather app.
You had something unique, but not anymore. Done. Bye.

Terrible privacy settings

BEWARE - app defaults to allowing selling personal data, and makes it extremely difficult to opt out!

Changes going in wrong direction

I only use this app for weather. With the latest update, I can no longer see the 10 day forecast in text format. All I see is a thumbnail to a video style 10 day forecast. Not my preferred method for 2-5+ days out to say the least, I want the details. App has also been unstable (mostly) on my mesh WiFi for well over a year and a half. It opens as it should maybe 4 out if 10 times, but usually just doesn’t load. This has also happened while not using WiFi. I have provided feedback in the app several times, and received replies, but there has never been any positive change in the apps functionality. Time to look to another weather app, this was the last straw for me

Not good anymore

The old version of the weather app used to be great. Now it frequently gets stuck and displays weather that is hours or days old despite having the most recent updates. Time to find a different app.

Great way to keep up to date on what’s happening at my home state

I am using your app to follow the Karen Read murder trial. It’s helpful to be able to watch clips of the trial to catch up on the latest developments.

I also use it to follow the news in my hometown.
