Not working

I used to love this app. But over the past year or two, the 24hr tornado & hail forecast feature stopped working entirely. It’s just a blank screen with a question mark. This feature was the reason i used this app. I haven’t seen any updates or notification on if the developer is even working on this issue. Very disappointing. Please FIX THIS. Other people i know that have this app are experiencing the same issues.

Disappointed

I have used this app for several years. This spring Ive noticed there is a bad lag in timeliness of data displayed. North Texas had 7 confirmed tornadoes last evening and this app either did not display them or displayed them after they had touched down and moved on. Time for some serious updates to this app.

Wish it worked like it used to

This app was amazing up until recently. Not sure if developer stopped updating software or what, but I wish they’d get it fixed!!

Use to love it

This app use to be amazing! It was my go to during bad weather. The past few storms, our area has had tornados touch down and we have had multiple alerts go out through our county warn system. Meanwhile this app has shown NOTHING! Deleting and going back old school to the news and watching Facebook groups for free.
