Disappointed
I have used this app for several years. This spring Ive noticed there is a bad lag in timeliness of data displayed. North Texas had 7 confirmed tornadoes last evening and this app either did not display them or displayed them after they had touched down and moved on. Time for some serious updates to this app.

Wish it worked like it used to
This app was amazing up until recently. Not sure if developer stopped updating software or what, but I wish they’d get it fixed!!
