Ratings and reviews

The weather advisory information is white text on light blue screen and is unreadable. I do feel the rest of the app screens are good.

The only unique feature of this app is the video update by local meteorologists. Everything else is available on any of many weather apps like Wunderground. Some of the ads are trackers that also link to malware.

This was a good weather app, until the last update. Now its full of ads and crashes often, plus the radar map is too cluttered. Update 2-26-19, the app was better after another update, but unfortunately the last update causes the app to not even launch. Sometimes i can hear an advertisement play after the app crashes. Update 10-23-21 I finally deleted the app, constantly gave the wrong location, and the constant notifications are really annoying, received 5 alerts for a freeze warning.
