Ratings and reviews

It's accurate sometimes. Don't see a way to contact support. Since last update I have a notification that it's updating location all the time. Update for developer reply: I don't think you understand my complaint. The message in the notification bar was there for more than a day and did not change until I restarted my phone and then it went away.

Update: accuracy has gone to the dogs. Completely unreliable at forecasting precipitation of any kind. Only one nearby radar and apparently it's offline? When it works, it's great. but the design is only so-so -- it looks like a badly ported iPhone app. As a replacement for Dark Sky, this is the best I've found - but it has a long way to go. here's to hoping the developers keep investing, because there's a huge Dark Sky-shaped hole that still hasn't been filled. The widget is great.

Sometimes radar will blank on zoom or move of map, or even freeze and not play when I press play. Webpage much more reliable but annoying to have to change the theme away from (the weather channel) terrible because it does not have a contrasted color for hail to one that does like my favorite (universal blue) all the time. Just found workaround for that choose theme then create a launcher shortcut for the webpage. But app is great when the radar actually works.
