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?

App has become so slow and lags horribly since the last update. Radar is glitchy & doesn't show parts of the radar images. The adds are so intrusive now that they block parts of the radar and forecast screens or they jump around and after your click on the screen and you then end up clicking an ad. I used weatherbug mostly for severe weather and when I needed it last night it was useless. i need weather alerts not pop up ads. Disappointing, been using it for >15 years. Deleted.

it's a weather app. it's pretty accurate. it's better than the standard one that comes on Android. The ads are annoying and no I'm not going to pay for a weather app when I can just look outside or look in a thousand other places. it should really have a radar function and you should be able to control the alerts a little bit better for places you don't live other than that it's a pretty good app

What’s new

Tightened some bolts and swept up a few bugs (not the good ones). You probably won’t notice the difference. But your app sure will.
