I have used the older version for YEARS and loved it. Better than my other weather apps. Now this looks like the rest. And I hate the radar! Seems I'm not alone! Bring back the old version! I also have noticed the satellite when zoomed in is a very old image. The old app which used Google maps was much more up to date. Mapbox, the current image supplier, is using an image that is AT LEAST from early 2018. Edit: note it says it's 1° with light snow. I'd post a screen shot if i could.

Timing on the radar is off, it doesn't keep up with the time. Notification are late. I will get a notification about a storm, after it already happened. March 23, 2026 app continues to say connection error. I don't have any connection issues with any other apps I use.

I usually don't write reviews especially for apps, but the update to this weather app is awful. For years I only used wjxt's weather app, but I will be deleting the app and putting weather bug back on. I'm sorry about this. I am loyal to channel 4 for 40 years. Between this and your newscast with all that awful music. I probably won't be watching your newscast too much longer. Again I am so sorry.
