Ratings and reviews

I enjoy the local weather app, especially to rewatch the forecast I may have missed on TV. My complaints would be, why isn't the most up to date (TV) forecast on the app? Instead of seeing the noon forecast, it's the video from the night before.... that's not helpful. On that same subject, why doesn't the Daily high/low match what I just watched on TV via the meteorologists? The two should be synced.

it doesnt update the temperature automatically. I always have to open the app to see the updated temp

Dropped down to 2 stars from 5. I mainly use this app for the radar and whatever changes they made several months ago is horrible. Confirmed with my wife that is mostly unusable now for figuring out where storm cells are moving. I think it's because there's 30 minutes between frames. That's too much time. I use this app (or used to use this app) to watch the powerful storm cells and now I see them jump across the city making it unusable. Time to find another app.
