Latest version cumbersome, buggy – WWBT First Alert Weather Review

I always appreciate updates to an app as they keep it fresh. However, the most recent update has made the app unnecessarily cumbersome. I liked that the previous version opened directly to radar. Now when the app opens you have a selection of windows you can open first. Even though radar is the first of these window options, you have to select the radar window to open it. If there is a weather alert, the app goes directly to the alert window and opens it. While that isn't a bad thing per se, if a severe storm is imminent, the radar is more important to me than the alert, especially since the alert coverage area is highlighted on the radar. The latest version gives you the option of manually indicating your exact location, meaning you can place the GPS indicator directly onto your house. According to the app this allows the app to show you the weather exactly where you are. That's great! The only problem is that I do not remain permanently in one location. Once you select your "location" the GPS indicator will always show you in that location regardless of your actual location. The app does not seem to be intuitive in that regard. Also, when trying to watch a video, the app immediately crashes. The information on the app is beneficial, no question about that, and the recent update has improved the visual presentation. Functionally though, it needs some work.
