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.

The app is reliable and accurate. This is the only one that I trust. Has not let me down. Forecast is updated often and satellite imaging is key to determining what weather is going to impact your area. Also there is ads but they are minimal and do not disrupt when navigating through the features.

Used to be better but the past few weeks it is super glitchy and the forecast videos lag and glitch to the point you can't fallow along and get confused because it has to buffer for 10 sec every 3 sec. But they always have the most accurate weather predictions none the less.
