Not user friendly
The information listed is very informative but if you don’t understand what the data means it doesn’t really help you understand what you’re looking at.

Poor updates/refreshing
I can never get the app to update to reflect real time. So for short forecast I am stuck with information from an hour ago and it won’t refresh.
