Ratings and reviews

I enjoy the local weather app, especially to rewatch the forecast I may have missed on TV. My complaints would be, why isn't the most up to date (TV) forecast on the app? Instead of seeing the noon forecast, it's the video from the night before.... that's not helpful. On that same subject, why doesn't the Daily high/low match what I just watched on TV via the meteorologists? The two should be synced.

app loads home page and freezes as of about 5 mins ago. Btw the accuracy has deteriorated to the point of zero trust. Colorado has terrain based weather. You can't use atmospheric models alone. I am going to cave and spend the triple digits for modeling apps recommended by a skilled meteorologist instead of this.

The radar is reliably wrong. on one particular day the radar showed our location under a severe thunderstorm. In reality, there was not a cloud nor drop of rain anywhere near us. This is the case more often than not. Makes the app useless.
