Ratings and reviews

The radar is great. I like seeing the video updates and hourly weather. What I don't like is how many notifications I get. When a notification is dismissed the same exact one will pop up, sometimes immediately. Often the same few notifications will pop up multiple times in a day. I didn't want to turn notifications off because it's a reliable weather app, but it gets too be too much.

I recently switched over to this as my default weather app. I love being able to see clips from local meteorologists. My only complaint is not being able to customize the First Alert notifications. I had to turn those off because I was getting too many. I did see that I could customize the severe weather alerts, which I appreciate. I would still like the option to get alerts for things like winter weather advisories or watches. Other than that minor complaint, the app has been great.

This is my only weather app. It is the most reliable. We just had an app update. The radar past/future mode had a change. I did prefer the old setup. It gave you a better indication of how the precipitation would be moving. This new change offering one or the other radar movement seems like it's an old version.
