Ratings and reviews

The app is intentionally minimalist, which makes it very easy to use and navigate. Unfortunately, at the moment, there appears to be bugs for Houston and Conroe locations where the information is N/A. There are some issues with scrolling the app in the main page if you start with your thumb on the blog post snippet. Overall, I really like the app and would expect these issue to be resolved fairly quickly.

Simple and clean, just as I would expect from SCW. I was very excited y'all came out with the app, there are just a few bugs I'm noticing right now. Notification settings in the app don't seem to work. I set it to "space city weather alerts" for the urgent alerts. Even though I've turned off "new blog post" I'm still getting daily alerts for each post. Also the toggle for "evacuate Katy" won't stay put, it untoggles right after selected.

While I like the app a lot, it is quite buggy on my S21 FE. I will receive notifications but the app won't update with the new weather info. I've tried deleting and reinstalling the app which fixed that issue the first time. But not the second time. I had to clear the cache and data for the update forecast to show up. I guess I'll continue to read the emails as I cannot rely on the app
