Ratings and Reviews
New version Still has issues
Removed last version installed 1.5.1 and app still says that there is a new version update as soon as possible. 🤷🏻♂️
Notifications
The latest version (1.5.1) doesn’t respect its in-app notification settings.
It literally started spamming me with all news and alerts almost every minute. I turned off the in-app notification settings and the app still keeps spamming me with news and notifications. The only way to stop this madness is to turn off the notifications for the app in the system settings.
Give us back the web browser app
Wow this blows. Can’t get any additional information On fires. Just weather station data? Fix it or give us back the browser version for my phone
