Ratings and reviews

I like the app, however, the most recent update where it no longer shows the temperature in the notifs bar is annoying. It shows the weather, not the temp, now. I can look outside and see its cloudy or raining. Id prefer to still see the temp on my notifs bar without having to open my phone. The toggle option in settings also still says that it will display the temp, not a weather icon, so if it is to continue a weather icon, this setting needs updated.

I've been using this local app for YEARS, and have loved it! However, the newest update is bad. Instead of showing the temperature in the notification tray, it shows a sun, and then you have to pull down to see the temperature. Previously, it showed the temperature in the notification icon.

It runs ok, but I don't get alerts for my location (yes,it's turned on), but I'll get alerts for only Toledo. Also with all these storms etc. that have come thru our area recently, I haven't gotten a single notification/alert! I have all the severe weather alerts plus sound turned on, but no sound or notifications come thru until I open the app. I do get notifications for when new videos are posted, but when actual weather is happening I don't get anything.
