Ratings and reviews

This is good overall. I use it because it has pretty good radar with past motion for last hour to track rain/storms, clouds, etc. Also shows current conditions (including dew point) and basic hourly conditions for next 48 hours. Main complaint is it freezes up quite often on my android phone. Should be easy fix for IT people, so no excuse.

Not too happy about the status bar change. I used to look at my phone and see the temperature without having to open the app when I can't fully use my phone. Now only a partly cloudy or sunny symbol shows. I can look outside and see that from a window. I can't feel what degrees it is when I'm inside at work etc. I don't want to have to pull the drop-down notifications either. Edit:You all put the temperature icon back! Thank you! But now I'm getting news about a missing person in my notification

I used this app for years and loved it but the most recent update about a month ago keeps it from working right for me. The main thing is that the “Follow Me” keeps changing to a saved location and I have to manually change it back all the time. Also, the weather banner doesn’t always show when I wake my phone to see notices, I have to clear all notifications like email, text and voice mail before the lock screen weather banner shows. I moved on to another app.
