Ratings and reviews

Agree with the recent reviews regarding the missing temperature in the status bar. I don't care to see the sun or moon or clouds or whatever at a quick glance - I want the temp back like it used to be. I can swipe down to see it, but I do not prefer this. There's also been an ongoing issue (unrelated to the recent update) with a notification on the icon that I can never get to clear. I don't really care about that so much, but since I'm here complaining anyway, figured I'd mention it.

Been using this app from almost the beginning. It was one of my favorites. Now not so much. When it works it's good. But it freezes a ton and constantly switches to different locations that's 100s of miles away instead of staying on follow me. Also the alerts are worthless now. When you click to read the alert you no longer stay on the app but directs to the website full of pop ads and link bate articles. Once I find a weather app I like better I'm switching and removing this one.

When it works it's good, but freezes a lot now. Have used this app for years and really rely on it, but the past few weeks, it's not working well. It freezes when opened and you can't scroll or choose any of the options, ie maps, daily, hourly info. The "follow me" location doesn't actually follow me. Stays locked onto a previous location, or randomly chooses some other location. Have deleted and re-installed several times. Hopefully bugs will get fixed, as I haven't found a better app yet.
