I had weatherbug for a long time & recently it wouldn't open for me. The only thing I could see was the map. I un-installed it & reinstalled it. Now it says I have to agree to terms, but when I click on agree, it does nothing & freezes up. I don't know what changed, but I hate it now & will have to find something else unless this gets fixed

This used to be the best weather app you could get. Yeah it was kind of glitchy at times, but it was still better than most. Now however it is garbage. They "updated" it a couple times and it seems they updated it so well it is now unable to open at all. Went from great app to unusable with a single update. They last update did nothing to fix it, so don't bother trying. I would give it zero stars, but it will not let me. But rest assured, it isn't even worthy of a single star. Pity.

Update 11/25/24: Downgraded to 2 stars. The app now takes forever to load, and I usually don't have the time to wait on it. I even updated the app, and it didn't help. Frustrating because I have used it for 8-9 years and it's been great. Fix this, WeatherBug! 12/20/16 4 Stars: This is my go-to app for weather on my android.
