New app is terrible!

Ditto what many others have already said, not user friendly, difficult to locate info, looking/working thru blogs difficult. It doesnt appear any user tests were done.

not an improvement

too much info crammed on one page- writing too small- bring back the old app

Glad I didnt get rid of original app

This is not as good as the original App. The other one works fine, so why? The new one is limited and not as informative. Boo!

Best

This very good it tells you about warnings and when lighting has been detected. Its VERY useful!! Also people who hate this PLEASE STOP COMPLAINING!!

Bad

I liked your old app MUCH BETTER! This one pretty much STINKS! Screen is way too small and it really doesnt give many details!!!

OMG! Dont like the reviews? = DELETE!!!

This is now the 2nd time reviews have been deleted from this page!!! Whats up with that? Below is the 2nd post about this app that I posted after the 1st one was deleted w/all the other negative reviews for this "New & Improved" app. (this is now the 3rd) Leave up all the reviews, positive or negative, thats what this space is about! Right? It would be informative to Me & others if the Powers that Be could respond as to why the reviews were deleted, that would be great! Lets put it to the people! Leave both apps "Live" & see how many move from the old app to the new app & then go back to the old more informative app after they realize how "BAD" this new "update" really is!

Keep old app,please!

The new app is dark, difficult to read and hard to navigate. The overall look of the new app is terrible compared to the old one which is brighter and has everything right at your finger tips. Love the old app and am hoping that it is kept as an option. Keep the the old app!

This version is a downgrade

Awful. Have used this app since its launch and was my main go to weather app for years. I find myself hardly using it now, the colors are too bland and its hard to read. It looks like one giant blob. Also, the pinpoint(home location) on the radar is too large. Im bummed

Poor app

This version is much worse than previous version. If this is an improvement I would hate to see what a degradation would be. App is inflexible. Screen layout is terrible. Radar area is so small as to be useless. I really liked the previous app but doubt if I will use this one at all as very frustrating. I will be looking for an alternative. Latest version better but still falls far short of the previous versions extremely clean user interface. They should pitch this version and go back to previous!!

New and improved

This app.improved we design in better function.

Great app

Great updates on local weather

Nice updates are on app. I use it all the time

Hardly ever works

If it does manage to load everything is blank.

Unable to set locations

First thing it prompts to set a home location, but the location picked up was 13 miles away and it couldnt be moved (yes, location service was turned on). Finally got the app to pick up my "Home", but now cant rename it to be "Home". Also unable to pick other locations. Whats the point of location accuracy if you cant set the locations you want to know about? This needs an immediate fix.

Love it - use it multiple times per day

Only suggestion: although the home page picture is dramatic its also depressing. It would be nice to have a more cheerful (i.e., something with sunshine) image.

Weather app

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.
