Ratings and reviews

I used to love this app, but it recently did an update and despite me having notifications turned off, it would randomly (and very loudly) shout "THIS IS A KWQC WEATHER UPDATE!" but there were never any notifications. It would happen randomly throughout the day, in the middle of the night, during a phone call. So irritating that I deleted the app.

This upgrade doesn't show the same kind of data the previous version. Example: (1) I only get a few hours' worth of today's hours of future hours, like at least up to midnight. (2) I enjoyed tapping on a future day (in a week) and got a white box with a recap of that day's weather stats. I may come up with other irritations, the more I play with it.

It's ok but doesn't update the temp in the notification drop-down until I click on the app, then it will update. It's a little pointless to do this every time. I had a different local station app that was always up-to-date. I may switch back. The alerts are a nice feature in this app.
