Ratings and reviews

I used to rely on this app, but during severe weather events it just isn't safe to have to wait for a FULL PAGE ad to play before seeing any forecast or radar. And there is no way to exit the ap until it finishes. With no live broadcasts, plus ads, you're playing with people's safety. During our last power outage, we were LITERALLY in the dark, hoping that we were interpreting the radar correctly, but not really knowing what to expect and having no live guidance. Come ON KFOR, you know better.

Too many ads. This app used to be really good with minimal ads on the top and bottom of the screen but now I can't click on anything without getting at least one, maybe two intrusive ads that must play before I can see what I'm looking for. If this continues, I'll no longer use this app and probably will not follow KFOR weather. Do better, KFOR. Do better.

I have very few complaints about the app. Annoying features (like the utterly useless "future radar") can be turned off. But now I'm getting hit with game ads when I need some quick weather info. Nothing can be done; it's ubiquitous, but I'm tired of being farmed for ad revenue. I'll deal with it, but the first time that I'm hit with an ad when I'm trying to get critical weather information (you know--like tornado warning level stuff), the app is gone (if I survive).
