Ratings and reviews

Very Inaccurate Weather App! Radar shows rain in my location when it isn't doing a thing outside. But when rain does come in the area, a lot of times it doesn't even show up on the radar. Rain chance percentages ALWAYS incorrect for my area. Example: Claimed 80% Chance of Rain, Did Not Rain A Drop For My Set Location. This app use to be awesome about 2 years ago then for some unknown reason they changed it all up and now it is the worst and most unreliable weather app I've ever had!

UPDATE Unreliable. I much prefer WHNT 19 weather but the app is just too quirky for me. BTW, I just upgraded from an LG G8 to Samsung 10+ phone and the app is still just as quirky. I like this updated app but it will take some getting use to. With the latest fix update, I'm now able to see the temp in the status bar. When I first opened it after the fix, it sent an alert when the temp showed in the status bar and then kept updating temp and alerting even though it didn't change. Still doing it, and when I'm in some other apps, getting annoying. I do a system clean to make it stop alerting. PROS I really like being able to put in addresses for the locations I want to monitor and set alerts for them and be able to choose which alerts I want. I like the information shown on the local conditions page. CONS No ability to set a separate alert tone from the general notification tone of my phone. Not being able to set preferred home screen. I would like to set mine to the local conditions page and use the others as needed.

I used to love this weather app even had family and friends who don't live in the area use it. I could rely on it everywhere. In the past few months it would shut down all the time. While it was actually running information was inaccurate. I miss the voice alerts as I drive a school bus and need that since I can't read going down the road. Fix the issues and I will come back!
