I positively LOATHE this latest version of the app! The font is so small, (and unchangeable) that I can't even read the thing any more. It lacks settings for us to customize the app the way we want it. (There are some costumizations available, but none that I personally found helpful). I don't like the way the radar has been changed either. If I could give NEGATIVE STARS.... I ABSOLUTELY WOULD! Since I cannot read the font, I had to download a different weather app that suits my needs.

UPDATE: they've seemed to patch the bugs present in the previous update. The revised New Look seems to be working fine now... Maybe I just don't like change, but the new update is subpar. In addition, it never opens for me. Sometimes I get lucky after waiting 30 seconds for the app to open, but most times it just never opens. It will get stuck on the loading screen for as long as you let it. Why fix it if it ain't broken

The newest version is very very problematic. I have to sign in every single time I open the app. And, that's if I can even get the app to open. It is slow and clunky. It does not recall my saved places. Just all sorts of problems too numerous to list all. Who comes up with these "improvements"? And, who is your test market? Obviously, no one who has any common sense. It's sad.
