Pros and cons of WGN-TV Chicago Weather app for iPhone and iPad

WGN-TV Chicago Weather app good for

When touching on a day in forecast on the main screen, it goes to the wrong day. For example if I touch Friday from the main screen it opens up the forecast for Saturday
This app is the best weather app out there. I love this app. This app is my life. When Im bored I go on the weather app and BAM!Also when there is a tornado I go straight to the app. Thank you god for blessing me with this app.
OMG I SOO RECCOMEND IT WHEN THERE IS LIGHTING YOU GET A STRAIGHT ALERT AND HOW FAR IT IS AND OTHER STUFF I SOO RECCOMEND IT!!!! YOU HAVE GOT TO GET IT!! LIKE OMG SOO COOL but you need wifi. But I have unlimited data so cellular data is useful but YOU NEED it. Download the rest of WGN apps and you have real time alerts and you are ready!!!

Some bad moments

I used to love this app until this latest version. They took away all of the color from the app so you can no longer see the day at a quick glance. It all blends together. Also, there is a glitch in the system. When you click on a day, say, Monday to get the details, it skips to Tuesday and gives you those details. This went from one of my favorite apps to one of my least favorite. Instead of taking a step forward, they have taken a step back. Bummer.
Honestly, it could be a tornado outside my window and this app would have a picture of a sun! Sigh...
Colors are bland and reading the 10 day and hourly forecast gives me a headache now. Pinpoint on the radar too large. What were they thinking!! Do not upgrade to the new version!!!
This version is horrible. The interface is a downgrade. Its harder to read, harder to differentiate things.
I really dislike the new upgrade. I like that there is more info but I really dislike the look. It is very aesthetically displeasing to the eye. All one color so its hard to read and decipher the different days etc. Please change it back!
Graphics are horrible. Bring back the old! New is not always better...especially in this case. Whats with the giant blue blob of a circle showing my location? It could be 1/4 the size. Horrible.
