I changed to 3 stars. I know my opinion probably won't matter to whomever helps develop this app but here's goes. The settings is so buried you have to click at 3 different places to finally get to it and it doesn't save my preferences. Every single time I go to the radar I have to go in and change it. And the new design is so cluttered looking. And as other reviews state the font is too small.

Just FYI this app is still so much worse than the original pre-update... they did reach out about my previous issue of constantly being logged out of my premium subscription. That was fixed but now almost every other time I open it it tells me I'm not connected to the internet and the refresh button does nothing. The app itself has reduced readability, smaller icons, more white space and overall very bleak... Plus not a single new useful feature I can find 🤔

The previous version WAS 5 STARS! The current version 14.5.0 is NOT! SPECIFICALLY RADAR: 1.LAYERS: a. Severe Alerts no longer provide a NWS explanation of the alert when tapping on the highlighted area of the map! Therefore providing NO info about the alert! b. After selecting Lightning, Severe Alerts etc., they aren't retained after closing the app & must be reselected each time app is opened! 2.SETTINGS: Selections, e.g., Map Style, Speed etc. are also NOT retained after closing the app!
