Ratings and reviews

No longer does custom notification sounds. Still has the option to set them but always uses the generic sound. I liked being able to know right away when bad weather was happening without even picking up my phone. No reason to take away a working and useful feature. If they don't want to support them anymore for whatever unknown reason they should take out the option to set them as well.

I don't find the ads to be too intrusive. I like the way forecasts are presented. The weather map is ok. However, I only give 3 stars because the accuracy is ridiculously bad, especially with regard to precipitation. It often gets precipitation completely wrong (heavy rain vs. no rain at all) just 15 minutes into the future. Imho, that is a weather app's most important feature. It doesn't matter how good your presentation is if you're presenting bad data.

Gets the job done, but could be so much better. The notification menu is a joke. Nothing actually turns off unless you disable it in Android's notification settings. The forecast is also surrounded by a ton of unwanted news. I downloaded a weather app, not a news app. Further, would prefer if they could disable ads when your area is experiencing severe weather. I don't want to buy anything when my life could be in danger!
