Ratings and reviews

Something has happened to the Android widget. It seems to have vanished in the most recent upgrade. The widget started doing some odd formatting and so I erased it and went back looking for it in the widget list and it does not show up anymore. I erased and reinstalled the app hoping the widget would show up after that but it is still missing from my list.

Honestly, one of the better weather apps I've tried. I've jumped around between apps due to a variety of issues - bad widgets, unreliable forecasts, complex layouts, ads, etc. This app provides reliable weather forecasts in my experience, I'm in New Brunswick, and the app and widget are fairly straight forward while still providing extra information and important alerts. The widget needs to be manually refreshed pretty often, but that can be done on the widget itself and only takes a second.

I like most things about the app but the weather alter notifications are way too intense. They are not like a normal notification but instead make my phone vibrate extremely loudly and is just unnecessary. I was woken up at 5am to an intense notification to that a heatwave has ended, seems pretty pointless. I do want notifications like if a snow storm is coming through but it can be a normal push notification. I think this really needs to be fixed.
