Ratings and reviews

As far as weather apps go their radar features are pretty great considering it's free. That being said this app can be EXTREMELY annoying and misleading. Get a notification, swipe it off screen, and three more pop right up, repeated 10 times a day... If you turn notifications off though you can miss severe weather alerts, which brings me to the misleading part; MINOR events like light rain, light gusts, or high humidity should NOT warrant alert notifications FFS.

Since the updates that were made, I've had trouble watching videos. There's always an ad before the video starts (fine with me it's a free app) and the ad plays with no interruption. But. As SOON as the station's video begins, it starts buffering. Then, it will play the video for a few seconds and start buffering again and so on. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app trying to fix it on my end to no avail. I really liked this app. Really hope it gets worked out soon.

Since the new 24 hr loop has been added, this app crashes all the time. While the 24 hr loop is nice, I miss being able to view the future 3 hour loop. The 3 hour loop was more accurate than the first 3 hours available within the 24 hour loop. Fortunately I haven't updated my weather app with WIS Rival WLTX, so for now I still have a more reliable app to use.
