Ratings and reviews

I normally love this app. But in the last couple days the temp notification has disappeared, which is vital for my family. Now all I have is an icon showing if it's cloudy, rainy, or sunny. That is useless to me. I went to settings and it still shows that it SHOULD be showing temp. Without the temp in the status and notifications bars I NEED a different weather app. I can see the sky out the window. I cannot see the temp by looking outside.

I've used this app for at least 5 years, but the new update took away the temperature indicator from the icon on my notification bar. Now I only see clouds, etc., but I can already see that outside for myself. I check my phone to see what the temperature is at a glance. I have liked this app better than other weather apps I've tried so I'll stick it out for a little while, assuming it will be fixed. But if it doesn't, I do need to find a different app that displays the temp.

So whoever designs the backgrounds and typography needs to learn about contrast and legibility. Thin white lines on pale blue backgrounds for daytime? Are you kidding? Use BOLDFACE font, and a contrasting color. A little larger point size would also be nice in the stats down below. I like to screenshot and share, but... C'mon. You can do better.
