But don’t just listen to us! Here’s what the experts are saying:
"Basically, forget everything you knew about The Weather Channel's app, because for all intents and purposes, this is an entirely new thing. And it's fantastic." - Android Police
"One of the other new changes aside from an awesome new user interface is the way the app will alert you of rain. Before it had a general idea, but the official Weather Channel app will now tell you the exact time it will start raining in your location. That’s neat." - Android Community
"My personal favorite is the new and improved narrative of climate descriptions. For example, the app now gives a more precise idea of what to expect from the weather in your area. Things like “dry conditions will continue,” and “expect rain until 4 pm,” show up to clue you in about local weather. You could say, it pretty much takes the guesswork out of reading weather forecasts." - Android Headlines
“We love [The Weather Channel app on Android] because we can hit all the important features, like ‘What It Feels Like’ temperature, the 10-day forecast and hourly temperature, faster than any other app. If you need the ‘expertise’ of a meteorologist, the short and sweet video forecasts will get you up to speed in no time.” ~Gizmodo’s The Best Android Apps

NO FACEBOOK SHARING? Both Windows Phone 7 & iPhone have this app & both can share their weather on Facebook. What's up Android, you can't or you don't want to add that feature? I would have kept it if I could share on something other than Twitter. I just use my accuweather for the forecast to see what's going on. Add sharing for Facebook & I will be happy to download this app again. Oh & I also have the WP7 & the TWC app is awesome on it! Please do consider facebook sharing.

Stop trying to turn this app in a social media app I don't understand why, but you guys added this stupid mpoint system.. this is a weather app, not facebook or some game. Future updates should focus on the fact that this app is extremely slow and there isn't a refresh button... I have to force close it and open it again every time I want the radar loop to update...
