The information seems decent, and the paid seems compelling but I constantly get full screen ads that I have to wait on to time out. I wanted to just try the free version before upgrading but the stream of full screen ads just makes me feel like I'm being railroaded into a paid tier. I'm going to try other options before deciding. This one is definitely the most ad invasive app I've ever experienced.

Hi. Sorry for inconvenience caused by the 3rd party ads in the free version. We check the ads algorithms regularly, trying to make them not annoying but yet useful and profitable for us. Please note that our subscription provides totally ad-free experience. Hopefully, you'll find the app to be useful no matter which app version you choose to use.

I used to like the app. Having some kind of indication if there was going to be rain around. It wasn't always accurate, but it seemed pretty decent. There was an ad every now and then, which I didn't mind. Now there is an ad every 5 seconds. You don't even have the chance to see how the rain is moving before you get another ad. Super annoying and reason for me to delete the app. I understand nothing is free, but the amount of ads is just ridiculous.

From what I could see the app itself was decent. I liked the layout and data organization. But, the ads were intrusive, especially the Temu ones. The lines of ads were not bad, but the full screen ones stopped me in my tracks, and one wrong click, and boom...it's opening my browser and taking me to God knows where. I was not ready to plop down $20 without more experience, so I deleted it. Maybe consider being ad free or less intrusive until I am hooked on the app. This was too easy to delete
