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.

When this app was originally launched it was great, I downloaded it specifically for the weather. The map was easy to use, it had a play button that you could use to see the movement of a storm. But they "improved" it so much that they removed virtually all control from the user. I now use the WFAA app, where I have more control of the weather map.

The notifications were about articles to read and now half of them are about watching the news, not a fan
