Ratings and reviews

A friend told me to try again. This time it worked. Still randomly crashes. The widget sucks so be don't use the widget. When the app is working. It looks and works great. I'm giving it a chance for now. Yesterday i got my alerts from cities and states i saved. i was able to warn family of the storms that happens Yesterday in Oklahoma City. Again when it's not crashing. It works and very accurate.

False ground clutter that covers the entire Tampa Bay area of the map. It's even their alot on the TV map as well, they just ignore it like it's not there. They say no rain in sight and yet there are little green blobs all over the screen. And a big intrusive ad pops up immediately. I will just use one of my other weather apps as long as this app chooses to use full screen ads.

When I opened the app it said, " a new version is available" and took me here. So I decided to read the reviews because there was hardly any 5⭐ reviews and after reading them I could understand why. For starters those ad's are big and the exit button is really tiny. Also, it crashes after I've looked at the radar, so I just tell my phone to close the app. I don't understand why they need a button for the news, I thought this is a weather app. I wish I could track tropics within the app.
