User reviews
Not as good as it use to be! Why was the dew point taken off on the home screen? Often times the hot sticky weather isn't always mentioned for the days weather, with the dew point you new if it was going to be hot & sticky or not. Please include dew point, I'm sure others would appreciate it too!

I used to live this app. Now it only works about a 1/4 the time. Whenever there is a video if the sound actually works it ends before all of the information is revealed. Please get this fixed
