The app itself seems to work and function properly on my device (pixel 3). That said, here's what really bugs me. 1. The audible weather alerts are over the top. I get hammered with "A new alert has arrived!!" Over and over again, for messages that can hardly be called an alert. I've attempted to shut these alerts off, and they kindly take the liberty of returning shortly thereafter. 2. "TORNADO WARNING. OPEN ME IMMEDIATELY IF YOU WANT TO LIVE!" *20 second ad.*
I have been using this weather app for years with great results - always accurate and dependable. However for the past several weeks it has been slow and often jus wouldn't open. I just reinstalled and it is working well again, for now. Hopefully this will be a permanent fix because I really depend on this local weather app!
Forecast is less accurate then generic NOAA forecasts, get audio alerts several times a day alerting me to the fact that nothing is happening. Cannot find a way to turn these off. Makes me watch an add before I can even see what the alert was about. Seems the whole point of the alerts is just to get me to watch an ad.
*EDIT* Problem has been fixed.. as promised.... Unable to disable audible alert....grrr......used to love this app for local weather, but in one of the last updates, I can no longer turn off audible alerts....nothing worse than having "There is a new station alert....", when you are engrossed in something at work, and about jump out of your skin. please fix and I'll give two stars back.
It used to work perfectly, but now there's a bug so it randomly freezes and sometimes I can't scroll. I'd appreciate you guys looking into that. Otherwise, this app is amazing.
Used to love the app, for reliability on the weather. But after the last update, it's taking a long time to load and I can't even scroll.
Its just ok. I uninstalled due to the constant banners and reminders for even clear calm days. Cant watch a weather alert with out ads on to of ads. It crashes quite a bit.
I don't like the consistent reminders and banner that keeps popping up. Even when in setting you turn it off.
Super annoyed with this app. It's not as good as it used to be. It does not want to move when you try to scroll.
Seems to have a bug. You can't scroll to see anything.
The spam ads are ridiculous.
rating this poorly because the obnoxious notification that you cant shut off..so ..i'll delete
Please go back to the old radar.
Love it because I watch WXOW WEATHER
nice weather.
inaccurate wheather.
Started out great but now there are more and more ads. Recently started with full screen ads. That's enough for me to lave and for you to stay away.
It was a great app until the extremely annoying, full page ads started. Uninstalling due to the amount of ads.
I hate the new ads
Worked a lot better before the last update. Now it crashes when I go to the 4 day forecast. Also liked seeing beyond 4 days.
Updated, this on my Android, because I could not get daily forecast past this year. Now t crashes the moment I try to get any daily forecast
Keeps crashing at daily forecast section.... Old version was better.
I miss the news tab! But I love the new weather updates!
No wind info. Only 5 day outlook
The new full screen ads make me think my phone is infected. Uninstalled as these ads are annoying.
Second to nun
Used to be better. It was an easy, reliable, no frills weather map with the important info quickly accessible. Now it takes forever to load, half the time the app doesn't update so I cant actually see the forecast, and it's filled with a bunch of info and articles i dont care about. A "lite" version that is closer to how it used to be would be nice.
