Ratings and reviews

When it works it's okay. Sometimes it crashes and I have to force my phone to restart. The other apps on my phone don't crash my phone. I agree with another review about the weather forecast changing in real time. I don't even look at forecasts anymore, just the radar maps and watch for cold fronts. Climate change has made weather forecasting a dead science. The advertising has not been intrusive. I do like the look of the app over other news stations, otherwise I would uninstall it.

This is the only weather app that I trust because of, well, James Spann of course. Being able to hear alerts read out loud when I'm not even using my phone, is the most comforting feature in my opinion. Plus, I can keep up with and get alerts on family members in other states. Unlike most apps, there's no charge or subscription needed for any of it. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

It was fine until the latest update changed the look of the notifications. Instead of showing the current temp, it now just shows an icon for the type of weather (sun for sunny, cloud for cloudy, etc.). I can just look out the window to see if it's sunny. I would rather see the temp, thanks. Now I have to pull down the notification bar to see it. Not loving that extra step.
