Ratings and reviews

While I like the easy access to their analysis posts, and the app is WAY better than when it first launched, there are still problems: Data doesn't always refresh on opening. Crashes frequently. No matter the date, the daily forecast shows it as the first of the month (e.g. July 1 when it's actually July 24). No periodic (e.g. hourly) breakdown of future day forecasts. Also, a nice to have would be to decouple the temperature and speed display units, so I can have °C and mph.

Great app for delivering the most useful source of weather news on Houston and the surrounding area. Revision 9/12/23. Alas, this app is hopelessly buggy... The main weather page is stuck on August 6th with a 12:00 sunrise and parts of it, like the radar don't update. I did report one bug earlier, which was quickly fixed, so I'm hoping for good things in the future

Minimalist but buggy, and needs a widget! Please, give us a widget! I can delete my other weather app then (well maybe not, I go out of town for work). I do love how easy it is to navigate, the minimalist look and feel makes it easy even for my 70+ mom to use! The evacuate Katy notification does not stay though. I actually rarely go into apps, I get my info from the widget usually and that's all I need, typically.
