Ratings and reviews

The weather info is generally pretty accurate, only thing is the notifications are super annoying. It seems like they send them out every 20 minutes. Hey, just letting you know we saw a new cloud type thing. I have tried changing the settings for serious alerts to no avail. Seriously considering deleting the app just because of the annoying notifications.

OMG, the ads! The ads are everywhere and always playing. I can't see any news alert without at least 5 ads that are a minimum of 30 seconds long. I am screwed if I even open a notification. Nothing will play; all I get is a blank screen if I should open the app by clicking on the notification. Let's talk about the notifications. One is enough. 4 back to back of the exact same notification is absurd. 2 things the app is good for are the sevier weather alerts and looking up closings.

It's a great app when working properly. But several times over the past few months I've experienced increased issues. When I open the app, nothing works. Just stick on the temperature line It's frozen or something. Can't push anything. And I don't always get notifications like I should. I've tried clearing cache and even tried clearing data. I even Uninstalled and reinstalled several times the past few months. Can you guys help?
