A friend told me to try again. This time it worked. Still randomly crashes. The widget sucks so be don't use the widget. When the app is working. It looks and works great. I'm giving it a chance for now. Yesterday i got my alerts from cities and states i saved. i was able to warn family of the storms that happens Yesterday in Oklahoma City. Again when it's not crashing. It works and very accurate.

The way that they pop their ads is really sketchy. They're basically relying on people clicking by accident when it pops up suddenly. It's also annoying to see an ad after every single refresh of the weather map. It works, but I'd look for something that doesn't have as aggressive ad pop-ups

False ground clutter that covers the entire Tampa Bay area of the map. It's even their alot on the TV map as well, they just ignore it like it's not there. They say no rain in sight and yet there are little green blobs all over the screen. And a big intrusive ad pops up immediately. I will just use one of my other weather apps as long as this app chooses to use full screen ads.
