BBC Weather - Latest Quality Issues

It keeps reordering my (saved) locations, seemingly randomly. This has happened over a number of the last updates.

Most pessimistic weather app available
The summary for my area on Friday is light rain showers and a moderate breeze. The detail shows sunshine/clouds for every hourly interval except there is a 3% chance of rain at 5pm. How does this equate to a daily forecast of light rain??? It is wildly inaccurate most of the time too. Met Office is much better and more suited to the optimism we need to cope with British weather!

First of all, I would like to say that it is good for looking at the weather, but unfortunately, it keeps logging me out, tons of bugs, and incredibly annoying that it will let me see the weather once and then i check it later in the day and it just logs me out please fix this!!!!!!

Effective all in one weather app
I had four weather apps before trying this one. I have trialed this and found it is easy to use and it tells you everything in an easy to find and easy to see way.. It is not cluttered. I have found it accurate and highlights important things like high winds. So I have deleted all my other weather apps and kept this one. The only thing I would add is that it does cast a rather gloomier / pessimistic outlook on the day (cloudy icons when its actually a really lovely day etc ) So not helpful or realistic in that respect.

Too slow to load (app), recently too unreliable! E.g. thunderstorms at 13:00 on Sunday never materialised!

Never says the same as the TV
I only use this app to get an idea of temperature, it never says the same as the bbc tv weather forecast, which is more reliable.

Freezes
This app starts but won't let me see the forecast for anything other than the current day. It's frozen - at least in that respect.

Please find a different approach to gloomiest icon
I love the BBC. I love their weather forecasts. And BBC Weather is my go to weather app. However, I really don't like how the icon selected for the day summary is always the gloomiest for the day. It's unhelpful and depressing. Case in point - the forecast for this Thursday is sunny or sunny intervals for every hour interval during the day except for one hour, where it's a black cloud (30% chance of rain). Which icon is chosen for the day summary?.. the black cloud of course. Doom. Gloom. It's needlessly depressing, particularly with our changeable weather here in the UK, and not a representative summary. Boo.
