3/5Annoying Ads
I often consult the hour by hour data. The video ads have been intrusive, but now they pop up every 2 seconds.

5/5Exactly what I been looking for
I’ve used WeatherBug for years because I like that the 10 day weather is in a vertical, list format. However the app is painfully slow. I’ve tried other weather apps but the daily weather is always horizontal and I hated having to scroll over to see the whole week. THIS app is exactly what I wanted, simple, vertical list, I can see the whole week without having to scroll left or right, and the temperatures are more accurate than the other apps I’ve used where they would be a good 4-6 degrees off.

2/5New update is bad!
Since the update, there is sometimes NO forecast video! Also, the new ads before the videos start are SO ANNOYING! They are the same ads, usually and really annoying! Tonite (Tuesday) the forecast was for Monday night into Tuesday! Trying to get a forecast video for Tuesday night into Wednesday! Also, as someone else pointed out, the forecasts are wrong a large percentage of the time! I depend on the weather for my livelihood and saying it might rain or it might not rain is not helpful. I can say the same thing and I’m not getting PAID to say that! I need to know for sure! I know weather is not an exact science but-come on! With all the radar and tech, get it together!

2/5New update is buggy
I just spent 15 minutes trying to watch a 5 minute video on the storm forecast and never successfully finished it. Commercial ads play then the video starts. Then 30-45 seconds later another ad. Then the video starts over again. Often when I try to move the video forward to where I left off, another ad plays. Occasionally the video would continue. More often it started over again. I never did manage to watch the entire forecast video. I love your weather and other than this the app is great. Please fix it fast.

4/5Menu bar
Takes multiple swipes at menu bar to get it to open up. Really frustrating.
