Changes to app are Not good – WSB-TV Weather Review

So, I used to love this app. I used it even when I wasn’t in Atlanta. It gave me a message today that I would be forced to update on May 1st, so I just went ahead and updated. I wish I hadn’t updated, I actually wondered why it had bad reviews even as I clicked update. I sorta hate this app now. A. I had multiple locations saved, and it did not retain any of my locations. B. It no longer has an option of what type of map you see. I find the green background jarring. It formerly had multiple options, and one of those was a light colored background similar to a traffic map. I believe it used to call them satellite view, or hybrid view. It no longer has any choice other than seeing a satellite view of green grass, and with green radar on top of it. C. The general method of navigating is very different, and not as user friendly. Those weird shortcuts that you have to drag a choice to, are not user friendly. I would like to easily check on the actual radar, with the warning/watch zones off by default, but able to be added. I would like the map to provide more contrast by defaulting to road map appearance, not satellite. I would like the cloud transparency to be an option, but the radar only on by default. And I would like to easily switch between saved locations. All of which I formerly could do with this app, but not since the update.
