Unfortunately the app notifications haven't improved and instead have reverted. I no longer can get the temperature on my notification bar and they never updated, even with the app instructions to use unrestricted battery. The app would randomly shut down at night. I'll miss having easy access to NWS info on my phone, but I'll have to find a different app altogether.

I don't know what to tell you. I really tried to fix it in the recent updates and I've seen it working for me for weeks straight. Not sure whats wrong.

The app still had problems after deleting cache and memory. They just didn't surface immediately. Uninstalling and re-installing the app brought back all of the locations from before I deleted the data. The widget still isn't updating and the app crashes shortly after opening it again. I hope these issues can be fixed.

If it's crashing for you I need to do some diagnostics on my end. Right now all of the crash logs I'm seeing are not in my code but that could be clue to some type of packaging setting. I'll try to resolve it

The good: The data seems to be accurate most of the time. No ads. Simple app with good metrics like hourly, daily, and radar. I do like how they have both Fahrenheit and Celsius listed. I want to know both. The not so good: Getting some odd data. Temperatures can lag some, but not a deal breaker. Also, said there was rain in my area several times when there was not a cloud in the sky. šŸ¤ŖšŸ˜‚

Appreciate thr review. For the most part the data is directly from the nws so there's not much I can do about it.
