Ratings and reviews

It's one of the few local weather apps for Knoxville, so there isn't much choice. Cons: Hard to read, ads everywhere, awkward layout. Pro: It's decently accurate and it's local,. If my old weather app wasn't broken, I doubt I'd use this though. It's the ads in invasive areas that kills me.

3-10-2024 The below issues are back once again. They will work for quite a while, then stop working; but this time the issue has nit cleared up. It would be nice to have the storm info available. Especially since it is now Spring!! 1-19-2023 -- Below issues have still not been addressed! 12-4-2022 Tapping on symbols (earthquake, storms, etc) no longer give pop-up information about them. Also, like others have mentioned, once I clear a notification it will show back up 2 or 3 more times.

Update New version appears to have corrected the widget issue. Thank you, devs! <3 Widgets have stopped working on my Galaxy Z Flip 4. I use the 3x2 hourly forecast, but I tried all of them. After adding to desktop, they just sit there mostly grayed out, though tapping does launch the main app. Reinstalling app did not fix the problem. Widgets from other apps are working fine.
