Good but could be better

This is a nice app if you like to geek out on weather but the layout leaves a bit to be desired. I like the fact that it lives in the menu bar and can give you alerts about severe weather/floods/etc. It also has an animated radar map integrated which is a must in my opinion. The bad comes in that the radar map takes several clicks to get to and to get animated. It would be nice if the radar map could be put into the map drop down window and animated by default so you could get a quick view of incoming storms/rain. Additional the when theres a warning for your area it should be shown in the menu bar so you can know aboutg it without having to click the dropdown button. Another downside is that while there are many features to this app there isnt much in the way of customization. There is some but like the issue with radar there needs to be more in the way of pereferences / options. Theres also the fact that getting weather updates any faster than once per hour costs an extra $9 a goes up depending on how fast you want them. Considering that theres tons of free apps out there that will tell you the weather in 1 minute increments this seems like a slap in the face after laying down real cash for this app. Give us every 30 minutes by default at the very least. 1 hour updates are pretty much useless when a tornado is coming your way.
