Ugh. I used to like this app, but ever since they "updated" it, it no longer has an accurate default location. My neighborhood has its own weather location, but I cannot set the app to use this as the default, and it won't update the "current location" to my neighborhood when I'm near home. Instead, I get the forecast and weather alerts for the city proper, which is 30 miles south and often dramatically different. I keep waiting to see if they'll fix it, but I'm about to give up.

edit: 8/25 This app is mostly ads and bugs. changed to 1 star from 2. The 4x1 widget is awful now. Weather widgets should show weather not time. Bring back the forecast for tomorrow. Also in the app it is way too much work to get to the radar and forecast. I like being able to jump to what I want not scroll forever. Poor redesign. Off to eye in the sky.

The widgets are very poorly designed and implemented. Three of them are broken, either overlapping with other widgets because they extend beyond their frame, or content is cut off inside the widget so you can't see it. I also don't like that most widgets show the time...all phones have a clock already so this puts 2 clocks on my home screen. All of this makes most of the widgets unusable for me, which is the main reason I wanted to try the app.
