Whoever signed off on the recent upgrade should be fired

Graphics are blown up, and you are greeted with a full screen ad

Fail

Hello WeatherBug - which actually looks great on initial test

LOL - I was speaking of the Apps layout and how it appears on your screen, they changed the look and feel of the app completely

If you look at the reviews I'm not alone in my disdain

Wow indeed!

the version i have on my tablet is 3.8.3 and has the menu bar over on the left side - Locations, Weather, Maps, Severe, etc. when i touch Weather, i get a 2nd menu bar next to the first - Right Now, Hourly, 36 Hour, 10 Day. is this what you got before it broke?

Yes, sounds about right

With the new version, the opening screen is full screen ad, (Currently for Toyota), with the current temperature a small square

The square has a + sign, and you need to expand the box to get more info

The 10 day forecast days are much bigger than before, you can only see three days at a time and need to scroll

Butt ugly graphics IMO as well

BGif my app isn't already updating by itself (which seems to be the case) then i'm certainly not gonna force it after hearing this. thx for the heads up.

Free app, right? The only way to make money is advertising revenue.
