Ratings and reviews

I appreciate the app since it uses data from the NWS and no ads. However, although I have the alerts turned on for watches and warnings, it won't alert me. I can't find active watches/warnings on the home screen. The ongoing notification's forecast is way too wordy and it does not update. I logged a bug for the ongoing notification not updating with new info and never heard back, can't access the bug page, no fix. I'll use this for the forecast but will need to find a different app for alerts.

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. 🤪😂

Like the functions but can't make it save locations - very annoying - originally I thought that it cleared memory of saved locations each day, but now it seems to be doing it randomly. I save a location, even if I flag it as a favorite, it is still deleted, sometimes each time I open the app, sometimes it let's me open several times in a row. I don't believe I have ever seen it remember my location on the first use in a day.
