Ratings and reviews

The app used to work great when it was bought for $4.99. Something happened to the push notifications and they stopped working. Weather informant was removed from the play store for a while as a result. When it was put back on the play store it was completely redesigned along with a subscription fee. Even favorites can't be saved anymore without it. This used to be one of my favorite apps, what happened to it is a shame.

I would put a zero because this does not work for me. I have trouble shooted it repeatedly, keeps crashing, drains my battery, and am being denied a refund. Update: Still won't work. No refund. Won't connect to database. Developer won't contact me. DO NOT BUY!!!

Every since the storms yesterday I am not getting any alerts and no pop ups please fix this. Update, I have emailed support and the owner yet only to get no response or resolution to this issue!!!! Very disappointed.
