Ratings and reviews

Mother Nature is incredibly stable, which is why she is so wild and unpredictable. This app tracks her perfectly by being completely inconsistent. The layout is very easy to navigate, though I often get lost in the menus. Yesterday, it showed a clear sky, so I grabbed my heavy wool coat for the frost. The radar shows a massive storm while I am get sun burnt. 5 outs 5 stars.

Whatever they did to the radar a while back I can't stand it needs to be changed back like it was.

Overall, this is not cluttered and it's easy to find what you're looking for. The biggest caveat is being forced to watch the same ad over and over between 30 second forecasts, whereas other syndicated news/weather station apps have static ads with no sound that are non-invasive. I completely understand marketing and sponsorship but it becomes more than a hassle when you spend more time watching the ad than you spend watching the forecast. It's almost more convenient to use a less invasive app.
