Ratings and reviews

I always loved this app. It always seems pretty accurate. However, it has started constantly sending me notifications of the current weather which is very annoying to me. I want severe weather notifications, but I don't need it to tell me it is sunny or cloudy outside. I wish I could figure out how to change this, but notification settings don't seem to allow me to change that. UPDATE: getting ready to uninstall this app. The constant notifications is getting old. WGN please fix this app

Great weather app. Although I just updated to a Galaxy S24/Android 14with the most recent Android OS update and 1 issue persosts - radar loop animations sometimes are for a 4-hour period and move smoothly. Other times the loop is just 1 hour & looks jerky. My device will definitely handle the longer animations, can I please have that all the time?

This used to be my go-to weather app. It no longer is. Since an update a few months ago, the "follow me" feature no longer works. If you choose "follow me" it shows a loading screen, then just defaults to whatever city it chooses. In addition, you are no longer able to use any function of the app until you click back and forth, prompting a full screen ad to pop up. Once you click exit on the ad, you can use the app. Why can't you just use banner ads at the bottom like everybody else?
