Greatly improved
5.0 is a great improvement in terms of UI design. It's slow to start up, but runs well. I would actually be tempted to drop the money on the paid version if it ever gets updated like this one. (I hate ads in my apps)
The only thing I'd still like to see added is push notifications for severe weather and weather alerts. That would be a VERY welcome addition for us "tornado alley" dwellers.
Awesome
Beautiful redesign. Love it. Use it every day. You can always rely on twc!
best app ever
This is the best weather app I have ever seen. Weather Channel, you made it perfect this time!
