So I really like the application and I just use it for local weather. The problem is there are so many trackers in this application. I had 727 tracking attempts in this application in 10 minutes!! This application has more trackers than Google, Microsoft and Adobe combined. Just need to find another weather application

Go back to the previous version for the weather info. To many boxes of info, that contain too little information. Too many boxes to click and swipe to get the information you want. On hourly screen provide current temp, feels like temp, wind speed and direction (N,S,E,W not a symbol), chance of rain %. Info for the day would allow better planning/scheduling activities based on weather conditions with minimal clicking/swiping boxes. Weather app is all I use, no comments on other functionality

I use this app all the time to read news. Lately I've been watching morning news. That can be frustrating due to reloading the video and TONS of super loud commercials. Please, turn down the volume, especially on the commercials about the thunder and lightning trucks. Please just give us commercials with the regular station breaks.
