Ratings and reviews

This has been my "go to weather app" for personal use and as a pilot. The forecasts have been remarkably accurate helping to plan activities and flight routes. The latest update version is a terrific improvement making it easier to navigate from one view to another with a single touch.

They fixed the issue when it wouldn't open on my phone, so that's a big plus! Everything is on the home page now, not a big fan, but navigation is easier. Quick to find the details you want.

Why would you change the background so that blue rain is on a blue background? Can you at least give me a choice of background. The app used to be easy to view. The recent changes have made it difficult to view. Used to be my favorite weather app.
