Ratings and reviews

In general I like the app. It seems fairly accurate, as far as weather prediction can be. My problem that every few days, it won't reload/ update information, even when I pull down to refresh. Sometimes I end up restarting my phone, just to get the app working again. It's not my phone, since other apps are able to refresh. Anyone have any suggestions?

update: the radar is no longer predictive. with the latest update it only shows past position of the precipitation on the map. Switching to a different app. Good free weather app with an accurate hourly forecast, radar, air quality and pollen index. I'm never caught out in the rain, thanks to this. Crashes sometimes and the widgets no longer work.

I believe the weather is more accurate than other apps. I do find that this app will cause my phone to run hot. It is not constant but I suspect it is due to some of the adds that are run and burn up the battery. I occasionally must restart after using this app to completely close it down and cool down my device. It is a glitch that weathering needs to resolve.
