New format is clumsy and a huge step backwards in my opinion. But the worst is the weather! We used to have the wonderful lightning track local Doppler and now it’s a basic live view like everyone else! And all the other locations are gone. Sure you can have 5 at the top now (I think I had 20 before saved) but you can only see the current day and even that you can’t see much of. 10 day forecasts are gone as well. And the alerts are gone or at least I can’t find them. I still get notifications that a storm warning is in effect for one of my old saved locations but when I click the notification it just takes me to the main page on the app?! What the heck? Biggest downgrade I’ve ever seen for any app, ever.

Despite having numerous setting in the app to control what notifications you will be sent, those choices aren’t respected. Notifications are used incessantly for things like, “Spring weather on the way, see how warm it will be on the days ahead...” They might as well just say, “Click here so we can show you some ads.”

Terribly disrespectful.

I wanted a local news app that alerted me to important local news. After using the app’s own settings to control that, I instead have a constant set of alerts about things that are nothing more than fluffy attempts to get me using the app more.

Prior to this update I looked at your app a couple times a day. I liked it. It was easy to use. Relevant. Since the update I look maybe once if I can get the ad to be swiped away without closing the app. I am not interested in the new layout. In fact I go to tap on the app and I say nope not wasting my time. Figured I would give it some time. But still don’t want to use it. You have gone the way of spectrum app. Not relevant. I hope you will put the app back to its useful purpose.
