Ratings and reviews

This is the best weather app out there as far as I can tell. It gets three stars because this version is a downgrade from the previous version. The layering menus are less stylish, and far less intuitive. The haptic feedback is gone. The tropical track layer is now integral to the radar layer, and cannot be toggled off. It's still good, just not as good as the last one.

Do like the option to see weather in different cities and states. Do like the 10 day forecast, helps when packing for trips. Do like the hourly feature. There are times when our temps go from warm to cold in a matter of hours and it really helps when hard freezes come into play. It will take time to adjust to the radar update, not a fan right now. I liked the third option of past/future running together.

most annoying app ever. it keeps waking me up at night with alerts. I just stopped it from running in the background to see if that works. UPDATE: did NOT work. Still keeps waking me up in the middle of the night. you literally have to delete it off your phone to make it stop completely. I FIGURED IT OUT. Go into the app itself and go to the 3 lines. then go to settings. you can shut off those dam alerts there.
