3/5Needs current conditions !
I want to see the current temperature etc EVERY TIME I open the app. Often the advisories and ads appear where current conditions should be. Also it should be less steps to check the weather in another location. Not multiple steps to add a location and then multiple steps to delete that location. Otherwise, good app. Oh yeah, when it opens it says Fox 35 instead of Fox 2 at first.

2/5The iPad version is horrible
I have been using this app on the IPhone and IPad for years, possible since it was created. It is my go to weather app that I check everyday if not multiple times a day. With kids and activities, it helps me plan my days. But this version (I don’t know when it was updated) for the iPad is unusable. The spacing is terrible and makes no sense. I will continue using it for the iPhone but will be deleting and looking for a different one for IPad which is a shame. The one thing I don’t like about the iPhone version, how the screen width shrinks as it is opening up, messes with my eyes, but I just blink long til its over and all good. Please put some time into the iPad version and make it good again.

2/5Weather forecast is wrong way to much
I work in the concrete industry so our job is based off the weather. This app when it comes to rain/thunderstorms is wrong 85% of the time. For instance just about a few hours ago they had a 95% chance of thunderstorms then I check the app a few mins ago it the thunderstorms is completely gone. I can understand being wrong by days because the storm could travel different path ways by then but getting it wrong by hours on the same day is bad. It been days when the app say no rain at all that it pours down and days that they say it will rain the day is dry. The app it self is cool for the features but whoever is predicting these forecasts needs help.

5/5Best weather app for Detroit or out of state
Working in the travel industry all aspects of weather is important and this app does it all, locally, nationally, internationally. Personal travel snd business. Easy and complete. This app replaced my weather channel App years ago when TWC videos became overwhelmingly political. I just wanted weather.

4/5??
I used to be able to turn my phone sideways to view the radar but now I can't. Is this something that changed when the app was updated? Is it possible to have that option again? Otherwise it's a great app. I like that it lets me know when there's a warning but I wish the voice was louder.
