Used to work perfectly well. Sadly, the redesign completely broke the home screen widget. Shows the wrong time (because it does not factor in winter time) and the temperature is simply "null°". No matter what temperature is displayed in-app. Looks like an uninstall candidate right now.

Used to Be the Best, Now It’s Just Annoying I’ve used The Weather Channel app for years and it used to be the gold standard. Reliable forecasts, clean layout, and easy navigation. But after recent changes, it's completely gone downhill. The new design looks cheap and cluttered, and worst of all, it’s absolutely flooded with ads. There are ads between every single section—between hourly forecasts, between maps, even between things like the UV index and the radar.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra that I'm very happy with, and the app still works on this phone to a large extent. However, since the update there are times when the radar time display slider does not move, and the time display (hh:mm) that correlates to to the slider and what is on the screen does not change. When this happens I can watch the radar display but I have very little idea what is past, present or future radar.
