I'm removing my 5 star review because they just did an update and now my vewing screen is only HALF the screen size. It was almost full screen before they added other links. They might be wanted by some but I used this strictly for weather. I get my news.Other places. They added so much advertisement that it takes up.space even cutting into my half size viewing screen! I hate this update as other things have changed in the app. I will UNINSTALL it and find an app that gives what this one did.

Turned best weather app to the worst after last update. No longer gives audio alerts for severe weather. Totally unsafe to have while driving with GPS. It has a banner alert across the top of your screen every 20 seconds that covers your driving instructions. I had to pull over and change from "follow me" weather alerts to some place that wasn't having bad weather in order to use "Google Maps" while on a trip. Radar is terrible compared to before last update. You don't respond to email.

Channel 9 will always be my choice, in news, local stories and especially the weather. I also have the News App. What I like most is you're able to customize alerts that you would like to be notified of and which alarm sounds and notifications you receive. Alarms come through nicely and that gives me comfort, knowing I may be able to get to safety, if needed. And, they always go live when a weather warning is in the broadcasting area and stay with us until the threats pass. Thank you, WSOC! 💕
