Ratings and reviews

I love the radar on this app. Other than that, it's annoying. If you tap on a notification, 9 times out of 10 it will bring you to a blank app screen. So I have to close the app then open it again. If I don't tap the notification and try to clear the notification instead, it immediately pops back up. Especially annoying when there are several notifications, as they take turns popping back up after every clear.

Been having trouble lately with the Weather notifications opening a blank WLOX Weather page when I click on them, with the bottom buttons displaying. I thought it may be because I often am not able to click on the notification for at least a few hours after I receive them, but I was able to click one I got this morning within minutes and still took me to the blank webpage. Also, the Hurricane tracker is showing, but when I activate the radar, to see the latest formation, nothing shows of it

Needs improvement desperately; It's sometimes not as visible or readable for the visually impaired like myself. Ads block where I want to go on on the app at times also. I keep WLOX 13 weather app on my phone because it is more accurate than others. On another note, WLOX 13 News closed captioning on my television is almost always unreadable, jumbled, misspelled, run into different words that don't make sense in viewing the news. It's very frustrating to see clear captions on another channel.
