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 a deal breaker. The radar button doesn't show anything, so I'm sure the data isn't loading properly. It said there was rain in my area several times when there was not a cloud in the sky. 🤪😂

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

This app runs great and is easy to use. It's easy to get a glimpse of the weather and future weather. And the radar runs great as well, but it is buggy with the UI elements. I'll give it a five-star once the UI for the radar is fixed. (When trying to change the layers or what type of radar you wanted to see, it wouldn't let you. It just refreshed the radar but kept the settings the same.)

Please send me an email with an example so I can test it myself. I've used different options in the radar. (daugherty2016@gmail.com)

Edit: By bouncing, I mean that after it loads it will jump around in non-sequential time. For example, it will show images at 5:00, 5:30, 5:40, 5:10, 5:50, 5:00, 5:20, etc. Just randomly bouncing among the times in the range. Happens every time, and especially if I resize the scale on the map or change settings (image source, etc.). Good, clean, concise app. Too bad the radar doesn't work. It bounces randomly between times, crashes often, etc. Using on a Pixel.

When you say bounces between times is it doing that because it's not finished loading? Otherwise it's possible the fix I added isn't released yet as I'm not at my development computer until mid July. *I think this will be fixed in an update once I am available in July. Thanks
