1. 3/5Radar good, forecast lacking

   The real time radar is good. The real time +future is pretty good. The future only radar is a total guess. If they give a notification of weather to hit within 20 minutes they are fairly accurate. However if the hourly forecast predicts a thunderstorm or shower at a certain time in a couple of hours it’s only a 50:50 chance at best that they are correct. If it’s a big system and strong with severe weather they are very helpful with their alerts. Those system don’t tend to die off. Perhaps since they are located in South Bend, Indiana there forecast is accurate there. Further east where fronts off Lake Michigan die the forecast is not great. Also fronts coming out of the Southwest tend to die off after hitting the Plymouth to Goshen area. Some topographical quirk and it’s been observed time and time again.

2. 3/5The ads

   I like the app in general for the information available on it. I would really like if the ads could stay appropriate or have a choice to remove any for good I don’t want to see. I have had this app for several years now and the ads are showing more provocative and/or horror ish content and I dread opening it now. Considering switching after having recommended it in the past to many people I know. I would not now unless this ad problem changes. Thanks

3. 3/5Show me something

   Can you please update the app so that when you get a weather alert for snow, rain or lightning and you click on the alert, that the actual radar map shows up?! The entire time I’ve had this app, when I get a notification and I click on it, the radar map comes up and is blank. Then I have to do multiple clicks in the app to leave the radar and come back to the radar to actually see what it was going to show me to begin with

4. 2/5Update

   The new weather app update in Feb or March is awful. Radar is way too confusing and just isn’t helpful. Think the app before was so much better. Now you have to pick the 24 hour option to even see what’s coming. Why would I need to see what’s already passed!! I liked it when it started at the time it actually is not 2 or more hours before and ending with the time it is now. I don’t need 24 hrs. I just want to see what’s coming in the next 6-8 hrs when I’m leaving my location. 24 hrs moves too fast and you can hardly see the time it’s predicting. Just go back to what worked. Why fix something that wasn’t broken!?? I’m finding a new app because this is just frustrating to use now.

5. 3/5New Changes, Mixed Results

   First of all, while the satellite imagery serving as the background will take some getting used to, it’s not bad. I bet that could be the source of some of the loading issues other isers have been complaining of though. Loading satellite data is notorious for taking a while. I do like being able to see lightning reports and forecast radar for the future so those’re a plus. I’m not 100% on the extra detail given to the Strong (green lightning), Hail (blue hail), Rotating (Yellow wind), and Strong Rotating (red wind) symbols though. It feels a bit too busy to look at. There is such a thing as too much eye candy. Someone not familiar with the app and/or weather maps in general may find it too confusing and too busy. Also, I am NOT a fan of the different color codes assigned to watch/warning polygons. Part of this is due to how the app used to be but it also has to do with traditional color codes. Red is typically reserved for Tornado Watches and Warnings. Suddenly seeing red polygons allocated for Severe Thunderstorm Warnings instead of the usual yellow/orange colors typically reserved for Severe T-storm Watches and Warnings is off-putting and confusing. I HIGHLY that be changed.
