Ratings and reviews

It was great for about a week, then when I opened it I had to sit through multiple ads that were either impossible to get out of and kept linking me back to Google play, or the ad would play through and there would be no option to get back to the app. It's easy to have ads with a normal size "x" to close- when that x is hidden or so small you accidentally hit something else- that's a deliberate choice. I uninstalled, since this app seemed to be more about selling me games than weather.

I checked the radar map and it showed no a drop of rain for hundreds of miles away. 20 minutes later I get a notification of heavy rain in my area. Guess what...it is not raining. So I looked at the map again and it's still clear. When I tapped on the warning it shows a lot of rain east of here. The app has not been very accurate lately.

Used 2 love this app. So much that I kept using it when I moved 800 miles from STL; it followed me when I visited Yellowstone the year before I moved. Recently it's been less accurate. I have the radar layers set to show clouds & precip, but even when I can clearly see full cloud coverage in my area, the app shows none. I'm trying a different (hand local) app before I decide if I'm uninstalling.
