I hate this latest update. The screens are messy and hard to read. The text on the widget feels as if it has been cut in half. For those of us with older eyes, it is almost impossible to read. Have already installed a different app that has larger font and less messy screens yet with more information. Also, your update erased all of my saved favorite places. Not appreciated. Didn't even know you were going to update, or I would have saved all of my places. Lost a customer 😡

"Has everything I need and it's quick to load! That's a major plus! I also find it fairly accurate as weather forecasts go. Don't change it or "improve" it please!" * This was my previous review. Of course they "improved" it since and now I have to scroll all the way down to get the daily forecast, I can't find the moon phase (which was at the first screen before) and the videos aren't related to the actual weather forecast (you have to watch 10 unrelated videos first to get one relevant)

Been using the app since I got my first smart phone. Was great. Since the last update, the app barely functions as it should. Won't allow me to scroll thru days in daily, weather alerts come but I can't read them anymore, the app constantly freezes, and after a fresh install, i cant add the widget to my home page.I am in the process of looking for a different app. This app has become garbage.
