Ratings and reviews

The weather is good, but leaving any of the notifications on results in a relentless deluge of repetitive alerts. I left weather, health, and traffic alerts on and had over 10 messages from the app, none of which was important. It also sends an alert at 6 in th Monday sometimes just to inform you that the weather is going to be the same as yesterday. Thanks for waking me up when I was planning on sleeping. Edit: This app got even worse. It's complete garbage now with all the bugs.

I just had to sit through an ad during a weather event! My weather radio went off with a tornado warning and I'm trying to see if there's a TORNADO coming at me and I have to watch a freaking T-Mobile commercial? Ridiculous. Ads should be disabled for live weather. As for the rest of the app, videos take forever to load, despite the fact that everything else on my phone loads quickly. Whatever. That's mildly annoying. Having to sit through an ad during a tornado warning is no bueno.

I usually love the app, but in the last few weeks it crashes every time I click on a day that isn't today in the weather forecast. Please fix as I love the accuracy from your meteorologists.
