Ratings and reviews

Convoluted. Ad heavy. If it's weather you want, just bookmark their web page. There, everything you need is immediately scrollable. In the app, the main weather page has a list of the earlier weather broadcasts. (?!) You have to navigate to the different sections, then click through what you want -- while sifting through SO many ads.

The layout of information is easy to access and covers an assortment of news locally, regionally, and around the world. The major problem I have is when they send out news alerts and you click on the notification, it always takes you to watch the live news feed.... But there's never anything to watch. It simply says "We'll be right back". If you're sending out a notification, there should be something to read or watch immediately. This issue occurs even 6+ hours after the original notification.

I was OK with this app until it was recently changed. I want to see the current temperature on the first page (top-right corner) and get to the summary by tapping the temp -- LIKE IT WAS ORIGINALLY DOING. Now, I have to navigate around (jump through hoops) to get there. It was doing fine until it was recently "improved".
