This new version is garbage. Did anyone test it on the public before releasing it? Go see the temps for the week and it shows temps, but no day/date information is displayed. Go to About, check the the Email Support. The app asks what app to use to send the email, then opens the selected app and the TO: field is blank. How do we get support if we don't know the email address to send to? The app is difficult to navigate and no longer useful. The prior version was much better. Finding a new app.

This update is awful. The radar is inaccurate and difficult to navigate. It no longer allows you to track which way storms are moving and you can no longer track the lightening. It doesnt even track where the weather actually is. I get alerts that take me to the main page with no explanation. Please revert back to the old app which was great.

Really miss the old app, it was simple and easy to access. This new one is to cluttered and can be a bit laggy with the lovely (sarcasm) full page pops up that were shoved in there. I also miss having the hurricane/tropics tracker all together in one app, I don't really appreciate having to download a whole separate app when it used to be conveniently bundled together. Also sometimes sends notifications with no actual notifying going on.. You click it and it leads to nothing, which is annoying.
