Ratings and reviews

Really miss the old app, it was simple and easy to access. This new one is to cluttered and can be a bit laggy with the lovely (sarcasm) full page pops up that were shoved in there. I also miss having the hurricane/tropics tracker all together in one app, I don't really appreciate having to download a whole separate app when it used to be conveniently bundled together. Also sometimes sends notifications with no actual notifying going on.. You click it and it leads to nothing, which is annoying.

I really dislike this new app. I loved the old one. I am going to find an alternative. This app is not user friendly. Things seem to be in the way of other things. Its such an unpleasant experience now. It's annoying to use. The weather map is bad now. It contstantly has this push notification you can't get rid of. I really feel this app is bad. I use many apps, I am not a novice. I give this app a fail rating.

I've used this app for years, and it was my go-to. Now it sucks, hard to navigate, right off the bat, I got notifications I didn't ask for and had to reset all that. I want the written forecast right there like it used to be, and you just scroll down to what you want to see. Now, you have to navigate to everything. This was a poor decision. The old version was perfect. Seems I'm not alone here... listen to your viewers. THE FULL PAGE POP UP ADS ARE ANNOYING. Starting to hate the app even more.
