Ratings and reviews

I picked the narrow widget but it doesn't look like it looks in the menu where you select which widget you want. It's supposed to be short and wide but it's not. It's a square. I also wish there was settings so I could choose to have the background transparent if I want to.

The app is good, but it lacks a major feature, in my opinion. You can't tap on an alerted area on the map to view information about the alerts currently in effect. There is also no legend to indicate what each alert color means. This is the only improvement I can suggest.

It's fine to get a rough idea of what the weather MIGHT be. But the radar or hourly forecast (or more than 2 days out) - forget it. Better to look out the window. Yes, like any other forecast, this station excels telling me tomorrow what it was like today. Any other job you'd get fired for such low accuracy.
