Ratings and reviews

Pretty good overall. What I especially like about it is that it seems to be much simpler and less cluttered then most similar apps. I like the interface and that it is so easy to just swipe by and away the opening ad. About the only item of significance that I don't like is that it does not provide, at least that I can find or configure, accurate local air quality index. It seems to just relay overall country average, which is useless local needs, where we are at any moment.

Pretty good weather app. Updates smoothly and the presentation is very pleasant. My only issue is that the text size for the temperature on the status bar is tiny on my Moto X3 Play. It's way smaller and lighter (non-bold) than other icons/text on the bar, so both looks out of place and cannot be read easily. I'd give the app 5 stars if I could read the temperature on the status bar. I came from another app that stopped updating the status bar temp, but it isn't much better if the temp is updated but unreadable. I'd also like to see the forecast discussion added.

Yahoo!, I do like this app. I keep large widget on home screen, and the forecast accuracy is good in my area. The LARGE °F temperature font in full-screen mode was changed some time ago, and now looks RATHER REDICULOUS on otherwise nicely refined photo presentation (on GS6)! I notice same isn't updated in Google Play's app store description screen shot examples, and nothing has been done to enhance readability of tiny fonts such as in horizontally scroll-able hourly temperature predictions.
