Ratings and reviews

I appreciate having access to the weather forecast on the go–got the short cut to the app on my home screen😙–plus the alerts when severe weather pops up. Don't havta be tuned in to the actual station to keep up with the latest developments. This came in handy when a tornado touched down about 5 miles from where we were seeking shelter with no access to a tv/radio. I also like the radar feature. Worth every MB of space used on my phone.

It is good to have when there is a threat of bad weather. Other times, you will get a notification about weather day. Clicking on the notification will most times take you to the app to watch an ad before watching a video concerning the notification. You can get the same information from any other weather app faster than watching the ad. And there is no premium service offered to rid you of the ads!

Normally I would give this 5 stars, because I've used it for years and it's always been great. But lately the app has been having some issues for me. It will go a few days and be great and then it won't open and keeps crashing and I have to uninstall and the reinstall before it will work again. It's super frustrating when you're trying to find out how long the rain in supposed to last but you can't get to the radar. 😬
