Great app. Has been my go to for accurate weather. But recently has been freezing up. I uninstalled and will try to reinstall and see what happens.

★★★★★ Jerry Schultz · May 2, 2021

Nice, easy to navigate, clear, and relatively accurate forecasting app. Only thing is that radar trends to indicate precipitation well before observation indicates. Not an app issue per se, I assume it's a radar precision issue. Otherwise, it's a great app, and forecast is as accurate as any in the area.

If person is downtown whether shopping a while or at work isn't the temperature on notification bar for downtown or is it always the airport temperature? I ask because I live downtown

Not getting the true news. Director Garland was shown to be political at a hearing he was at. But Northland news chose to only show how he was treated with kid gloves. Not the true facts. Fake news Northland news. And don't say you didn't have time the fake report went on for a while, so you had time for the facts but didn't report them so that equals FAKE NEWS

Radar is good, forecast changes to rain the same time you see it on radar. It's not a reliable forecast at all. Changes by the minute. Planning something a couple of days out is completely roulette.
