## Review summary

Users praise NC1 Weather for its accurate radar, good local alerts, and ease of use. However, multiple reviews express frustration with the removal of certain data such as dewpoint, the unreliable video alerts, late non-weather notifications, and the shift away from detailed textual weather alerts. Overall, the app is valued but several features need improvement to meet user expectations.

### Pros

- Radar feature is better than the National Weather Service.
- Local weather alerts are appreciated and considered useful.
- The app is generally accurate and easy to use.
- Users appreciate having a good local weather app with detailed alerts.

### Cons

- The removal of the dewpoint reading was unpopular; users want it restored.
- Video weather alerts often fail to load, causing frustration; users prefer textual alerts.
- Non-weather related notifications are sent late at night, disturbing users, especially across time zones.
- The new weather alert format with minimal text and maps is less informative and not well received.
