I used to love Weather Underground but stopped using it once The Weather Channel took over but crazy that IBM own that, what an odd acquisition.

I still use it, mostly because I've been using them for nearly two decades and they've been the most consistently accurate in forecasting for my area.

But since the IBM acquisition, the app has been so slow to load.

I used to love the WU app, it was beautiful and accurate. A few years ago I started noticing more and more puzzling changes, before I realized IBM had purchased them. They ruined an incredible app. Seems like they just outsourced development to lowest international bidder.
