Ratings and reviews

Tried many different weather apps, kept coming back to this one, even for all the different regions whose weather I pay attention to. It is the weather we're looking at, which can not be managed or accurately forecasted very far out. It seems that recently, as technology becomes more woven into meteorology, that forecasts, particularly more than a day or two out, miss the mark more often than hit it. I still like and use this format over other options.

It used to be a great weather app. Radar images are so old the storms that passed through 30 minutes ago are just now arriving according to radar. The screen won't rotate 90° (All other apps rotate so it's not the settings). Follow me seldom works. It reverts to some place I was at weeks ago. Took a two hour drive and it followed me about 15 miles. Then it stuck there. After 60 miles, I turned off the location permission and turned it back on. Then it stuck there. At home, had to reset

I wish the app wouldnt crash all the time, and that it would actually pull up the app when I tap on the notification. It freezes all the time and loads very slowly. Also, I don't need it to keep going off 7 times in a row when I swipe the notifications (yes, I check the app to try to get it to stop)
