Subpar

This app used to be one of the best radar apps available, but now the map customization is barely existent. You cannot turn off watches without also turning off warnings. You can’t adjust the transparency of the watches/warnings so seeing the radar is difficult with watches/warnings turned on. While you can create your own map, you cannot move it to be in front of any of the defaults. The defaults aren’t allowed to be edited. PLEASE BRING BACK THE PREVIOUS VERSION!

The best thing ever

It’s the best thing ever. I love it because I check the weather every day and before I go to a rodeo it’s the best cause I can check it and see if anything’s coming before we get there
