Ratings and reviews

This has been my go-to weather app for several years. It's easy to check the hourly forecast for any city I'm going to be visiting. Unfortunately, I decided to uninstall it. The app was sending weather notification sounds even though I had all notifications turned off and even blocked via Android's app permissions settings. I had to use "Nice Catch" to figure out which app was doing it. I'm disappointed, because it is a good weather app, but I hate notifications more than I like this app.

This was my go to weather App. It WAS 5 stars for me. I liked the original layout with the map and daily Temps on the opening screen. I updated app, because the temp quit displaying on my notifications bar on my android phone. ...Still no temperature displaying on my notifications bar. I do not like the pop up ads every time I open the app. The constant ad banner before the update, displayed at the bottom, was sufficient. As soon as I finish my review. I will unistall...and rate one star!

I did the most recent update and wasn't having any problems at first. I was on the radar page and was trying to switch out of the future radar which was a 24 hour radar, but it wouldn't let me. I uninstalled the app and then reinstalled it. Now the future radar only goes about 6 hours. I really liked the 24 hour radar and am hoping that eventually it will come back. Until then, my rating will not reach more than 3 stars.
