Radar map doesn’t advance

The animated radar map won’t display any precipitation once started. Extremely disappointing. I’ll need to use another local station’s app for weather. Can’t rely on this one.

As another reviewer wrote, I also had trouble getting out of the "enter location" page. I managed to stumble out to the home page but still don't know how I did it. If the app has an hour-by-hour forecast anywhere I can't find it.Apps for mobile devices should be easy and intuitive, especially those that might be used for quick checks for busy people. This one isn't.I went back to my previous app. It doesn't look as slick, but it has hour-by-hour and long term forecasts besides radar and health alerts. And it's intuitive.

Most everything works but can’t seem to get animated radar map. It does not display any radar until I zoom in map and only then a static radar image appears over the map. Not more useful thAn the KATU app at least animated radar works there.

Fails to honor my landscape orientation, forces portrait mode. Huge accessibility issue.

Improved radar lapsing, updated alert management, and numerous quality of life improvements and bug fixes!
