Ratings and reviews

I'm very disappointed with their widget, it stays stuck on the same day & won't automatically update weather info! I have to click on it & wait for it to load the whole app to get the widget to update, which is ridiculous & aggravating! That's the whole point of having a widget - so I can see current weather conditions at a glance WITHOUT having to load the app! I've uninstalled & reinstalled, have it on internal storage, etc. It should also show more info like sunset time. = UNINSTALLED!!

The app for the phone is just annoying. It comes up with an alert for nothing. It says alert to show me a video saying today will be great. That's NOT an alert. Then, when you brush that away, it comes up with it immediately afterward for three or four times. The app on the Roku is the worst yet. You can bring a menu up to the left that you can't do anything with, not even go through them. There is absolutely nothing to bring up radar. They could do so much better with just a little effort.

The forecast changes every 30 minutes and it's like well let me walk outside and see if I get wet so I can forecast rain. I'm not trying to be mean but a person has no way of actually knowing. The app doesn't open half the time........ I have finally just uninstalled this weather app, half the time it would not load. Just not worth the aggravation.......
