Thankfully I had the prior version backed up! The new map feature isn’t worth putting up with the awkward UI that presents HUGE type and bubbles but still requires expanding everything for details. (That UI was so annoying that I barely noticed TOYOTATOYOTATOYOTA) Also, Weather Channel, on the main menu why are videos more important than Forecast??

““Expect rain from storm Billy Bob to start at 3:15p”—No more guessing! If your weather is changing within 6 hrs, we let you know what it’s called and the exact time it will happen.”

FTFY.

They should definitely consider renaming it “Toyota advertisements…NOW with weather!”

Hopefully it’s not a video ad that plays for 5 seconds or more everytime you open the app

I’m fine with free apps making money thru advertising, but this update is like one big advertisement that happens to show the weather.

I am sorry I can’t have my old weather channel back for my Htc 4G it was much easier to use and also didn’t have a large portion of the screen used by Toyota adds

I just have the free version. I mainly use it for the alerts so I don’t mind the ads.

full screen ad is too much. I know its free, but it has to be alot more subtle

Does the app still require the recording of audio on your device as a permission? If so, I’m not updating.

Saw it…got rid of it. Don’t want all that advertising. Got WeatherBug instead. Much cleaner. I want the weather–not a totyota!

1Weather has an awesome widget and a great GUI layout.

Eye in the sky is too good to be replaced unless a new app comes around.

I have not used a dedicated weather app in a while. Don’t the fine crop of homescreen widgets with weather do the trick? HD Widgets, DashClock… cLock (CM).
