Ratings and reviews

The new version of this app is not user friendly. Most of the time videos will not load. The radar could be simplified. I do like having More of a breakdown of certain weather aspects that I am trying to view such as precipitation, cloud coverage, and temperature, however the app itself is slow to load and hard to navigate. 12/22/22 update. Pixel 6 pro- constant force close with any setting change or use of back button. Very frustrating. 7/9/23 update- force closes almost every use of the app.

Layout's too busy. I don't like the new NWS alerts. You eliminated my ability to choose what type alerts I want to receive. I only need severe weather alerts, please bring back this option. Having the weekly forecast on one screen made it easier to review. If I needed more detailed information on a particular day I could click it. Scrolling through days is not good for planning. Extremely slow and crashing often. If it's not fixed soon I'm deleting. I can't use an app that crashes when I need it

This New version is terrible! Just went thru Hurricane Sally and was not able to keep up with the storm because it required wifi according to pop up. No power no WIFI! Felt helpless. If I could rate it zero I would! Bring back the previous version! Sometimes, "If it ain't broke don't fix it," does apply! At least give us a choice! ...I really don't trust this version if the weather gets bad. Hmmm, doesn't even display the temperature anymore at the top of my phone. 😔
