4/5Stop wasting my time with useless information alerts!
There are over 20 categories of notifications but this app needs one more so I can uncheck it: “unimportant information”. “Gentle trades for the next few days” or “Winds are decreasing; when will they ramp up again?” is NOT information I need to be alerted to! Haven’t you ever read the story about the boy who cried “wolf” too often? When the real thing came along he was ignored because of too many false alarms! These are not actual ALERTS; they are simply a developer’s PLOY screaming “Look at my app”! STOP IT!

3/5It’s fine if it’s all you’re using
The thing I don’t like most about this app is that it does not let you switch between Say texting. If I select the text message that just came in, I go back to the app to finish watching the report and it starts from the very beginning, and I have to watch a commercial again. That is super lame, but the people reporting on it are great

1/5Forecasts contradict themselves
OK. First there are a bazillion ads, but more importantly the forecasts are not consistent. Here is an example. Today the chance of rain is listed as 20%. BUT if you expand the forecast it tells you that there is a 50% chance of rain in the morning and a 60% chance in the evening. Now I’m not a mathematical genius but I know that 50% and 60% do NOT come out to 20% for the day. So the question is: Which forecast do I believe? Right now, neither one! 1 star because I can’t rate it any lower.

5/5Weird
This is a pretty weird app. Not only does the future feature work the past isn’t all that reliable either. Caught between the future or the past I don’t know what is happening right now. Guy needs to tell his boss to stop pushing the app until it’s fixed. Every time I hear him pushing it I cringe. I worked in IT for 50 years so I know what is great and what isn’t. This isn’t. Recommend Dark Sky for iPhone. The second star is strictly for Guy Hagi. He’s a good man caught in the middle.

3/5Don’t like new updated version
The weather radar map was great the way it was. The recent update made the radar map always dark (day or night), and doesn’t seem accurate. Don’t like the “past and future” option either. Both looks the same. Doesn’t show as much as the previous version. Please go back to the old version!!! If not I guess I’m just going to use someone else’s app.
