An editorial reading of the saved reviews

Weather Underground's strength is hyperlocality through a network of personal weather stations, but the radar visibly lags and forecast accuracy has declined. The app is technically unstable, freezing several times a week.

I discovered Weather Underground long before I could even get a smartphone. I've always liked it and have never even tried anything else. I have noticed a severe lag in the radar image to the point it is almost worthless. A thunderstorm capable of producing tornadoes came through and was gone before

Been my favorite for years. I don't see much in the way of glitches, but I do want to put it in my iPhone 13 widgets and it never shows up on the widget list so I can't put it in my widgets which would make it more useful. I have tried everything.

I love this app! I've been using it forever! I can't remember the first time I downloaded it. At least a decade ago? Thank you for the graphs and everything! I just moved up north, 2.5 hours north of Saint Paul, to Duluth, and your app has helped me navigate my new life with VERY different weather.
