Ratings and reviews

Radar and whatnot is decent. Like the map etc, but my severe weather notifications NEVER work anymore and I haven't changed any settings, have even gone in app settings and within the app itself and on my phone all notification permissions are on and I'm never notified of severe weather like I was when I first downloaded the app, and that's why I downloaded it in the first place. Totally disappointed.

This app became a hard pass for me. Video ads have started auto playing when opening/closing the hourly forecast and the map. I learned this the hard way when in a quiet office environment. Audio from the ad was blasting full volume. This is very unfortunate for what used to be my go to weather app.

The layout of the weather information is nice, and the radar is especially well designed. The ads would make the app unusable, but Block-This solves that problem. Unfortunately, the widgets are unusable. They usually fail to display anything, claiming to be offline. They are also very basic, and visually boring and simple.
