Ratings and reviews

The app gets worse and worse with every update. Forcing a full-screen pop-up ad as soon as the app opens is very bad practice, considering people can be checking the app urgently during severe weather. Stopped saving the settings for the radar map. I don't want to have to turn on the various overlays every time I want to look at the radar. Seriously, revert this app to the version that was available like 5+ years ago. It was so much better.

I'm sorry, but this app is horrible. The old app, we could select the screen in which the app would open. I don't want to have to select the radar after it's opened. I used to open the app directly to the radar screen. Radar motion stops the moment I try to widen the radar map, the old never stopped. The drag screen is annoying, if I try to move the map, and I'm too close to the "drag" screen, it opens up. If I wanted to see a blog, or anything else I would have selected it.

Newest update makes it crash. App is unusable. I un-installed and re-installed. Makes no difference. App keeps crashing. It is now the middle of August and again did everything as described above. The app crashes everytime I try to use it. Radar is nearly inoperable. Still a 1 🌟.
