Ratings and reviews

I have used this app for years and found it to be the most accurate. However, it no longer displays dew point, wind speed, sunrise/sunset times. Which is all useful pertinent information I was daily. Furthermore, not being able to quickly move past the initial add is also a major vote for using a different app.

Since it's last update, the humidity, dewpoint, wind, sunrise and sunset no longer show up in the current temperature screen. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, it still doesn't show like it used to. Would be really nice to have those features back.

Overall, the best weather app I've ever used hands down. Extremely intuitive and easy to understand, and very accurate. Moving locations can be a bit wonky but that's not a big deal. So why one star? Because every single time you open the app, even when you're just switching from another window back to it, it has a 10 second unskippable ad covering the entire thing. Utterly shameful design decision.
