Ratings and reviews

I'm just keeping the app for the radar and alerts. I just lowered my rating to one star because the last update made the app to not be able to rotate into landscape view. Developers, please let me know when this is fixed. EDIT; The on screen pull down bar with the current temperature has changed. Now the temperature display is so tiny, I need reading glasses to see it. Please change it back so the temperature is easily visible like before.

The app itself gives the weather as designed. Lots of pop up notifications even when settings are edited, I know it's hot there's no need to tell me five times per day. The real issue and cause for deducting two stars is the third party tracking attempts. Over 6K tracking requests blocked by my phone in less than a week is wild. App is not customizable enough for notifications and allows too many intrusive 3rd party trackers.

Re installed it today and I'm still not getting texts or notifications like I did before the update. I don't know what's going on. Harder to navigate and why do I have to always see the one business add before it even pulls up the radar? Considering switching to another. Still have the app but our phones will not make the alert sounds on our phones.
