User Reviews

Overall, users praise 4Warn Weather for accurate, detailed weather information and useful features like interactive radar, hour-by-hour forecasts, traffic cams, and a well-liked widget. Positive sentiment is common. However, multiple reviews complain about intrusive ads, performance/UX problems after updates (slowness, unresponsiveness, confusing UI), and inconsistent forecast accuracy.

Garbage. Unskipable video ads in Spanish that force play when switching tabs.

🤮 I just want to check the weather but first Im forced to watch an unskippable ad for a game no one's going to play, but that's only the 1 of 3 times the app even opens with out crashing. If you do get the app to open and watch the long ad, you might want to check the rader, oh wait it also has a 1 of 3 chance of working. Guess you'll just have to look at the hourly predictions that are almost never accurate. Thanks News 4, thanks for nothing
