Handy but very clunky
2025 update 2: the app was updated in December and I’m taking away two stars until it’s fixed. A nice map feature was added but it’s worthless as-is since I can’t select any of the stations and my old favorites have been steamrolled.
2025 update 1: the app was updated in January. It still crashed instantly for me until I deleted and reinstalled. I’m on iOS 18.1.1
2020 update: back to one star because if you don’t give full time location access it stays stuck on the launch screen with “Loading Stations” and nothing happening. This is with iOS 13.4.1
2019 update: glad it's available and working again. Not liking the request to use location even when app not open.
Also: why no stations in Provo???
Original review (June-December 2017): crashing on launch for me. Not liking the non-standard navigation elements and charts sometimes were extremely distorted.

Buggy app
This app has become really buggy, and often crashes upon trying to open it. I keep having to delete and re-download it. The main screen frequently doesn’t accurately reflect current conditions, I always have to go to the trend charts to get a more reliable view.
Lacks clarity; not user friendly.
I downloaded this to determine when I can use my fireplace. The display seems to give conflicting information, and the three-day forecast includes the current day, and the prediction for the current day (bottom of the screen) often does not match the symbol for current conditions (top of the screen).
Generally speaking, in good with technology and I am an excellent reader, but this app seems to require scientific understanding that is not common knowledge and is not explained in the app. All I really want is a simple, “Yes, you can use your fireplace now,” “voluntary restrictions are recommended,” or “No, don’t burn thing right now.”
I’m also not sure which location is nearest my home. There are several stations in my county, but most are named after I-don’t-know what. Only one station name is a city name that is familiar to me, and one location literally says, “near road,” for a county that is a major metropolis.

Unreadable areas of screen
On iPhone Good, moderate, bad instructions are permanently superimposed over the three day forecast area making both pretty unreadable. Screens alternate from portrait for most of the app to landscape for trends which is awkward. On android the temperature and wind speed are only words, no actual values. Needs work
