Ratings and reviews

I have used this app on 3 android phones and an iPad for several years. Two weeks ago, it was a 5-star app. For a long time, it was the best wx app I've ever found and depended upon it. It still works fine on my iPad, but performance suddenly changed last week on the phones. It now takes FOREVER for the android version to acquire weather or other data. I have three stored locations on the app. When I move from one location to another, typically there is a delay of almost 3 minutes before the new location's weather is displayed. Even after acquiring the wx summary on the Home screen, if I click on hourly, daily, etc, there is another lag in displaying that info. Today, I searched for a new location by zip code. Once again, a delay of 2-3 minutes before it pulled up a list of likely cities. The problem persists regardless of whether I am connecting via cellular or wifi. I do not want to leave this app, but presently it is unacceptable.

Great features. Great detail. Love the lightning strike monitor and the hurricane track. I can change the location and get the same info. Best weather app ever

decent app, but I find the advertisements to be extremely annoying, especially since many of them are scams.
