Ratings and reviews

There are too many ads especially during inclement weather. I definitely want to watch an Arby's add when the sirens are going off and I have no other access to media. I think the responsiveness of the app needs to be worked on as well as the promptness of notifications of alerts and other notifications.

It's great for day to day weather forecasts, though it's a little slow. When it comes to emergencies the app rarely sends me timely notifications and often doesn't have anything at the top about the emergency. My weather radio will go off long before the app does (if the app notifies me at all). I have the app specifically to get notified about tornados, and an hour+ delay makes me worry about when I may be caught away from home (and subsequently my radio).

It's almost on time with accuracy, except I've been getting updates on the weather for yesterday. Needs a little work on the lightening strike timing (2 minutes later), plus the rain accuracy. It tells me rain has been detected in my area 10 minutes after it has already started. It didn't use to be like that. I only gave 4 stars⭐ because of this. everything else is perfect.
