Well I am current on all my apps. The Major misbehaving app is  
Graphic Converter which I am always at current beta or -1 (beta). Yes  
I have two weather apps because one gives me information that the  
other doesn't. The RADAR one gives me a quick look at the region the  
other just gives me the Chicago. I have friends flying in all the  
time and its needed to figure out how bad ORD is going to be.
