User Reviews

Users praise the app for accurate local weather, solid radar, ease of use, and reliable alerts. However, recurring complaints focus on intrusive ads and several disliked UI changes that hamper readability and usability, including display of storm warnings and status-bar layouts. GPS/location issues are less common. Overall, the app provides valued weather information, but the user experience and ad load are common pain points.

Pros

Accurate local weather information with strong radar features.
Easy to use and fast to access current conditions.
Helpful weather alerts to stay safe.
Useful daily outlook and forecasts.

Cons

Intrusive ads that degrade the user experience.
Redesigned UI changes reduce usability and readability (e.g., larger bottom/status bars, cluttered screens, and limited display options such as storm warnings).
Layout and status-display issues, including a problematic status bar/display layout.

Clicking the radar is different now. It's hard to stop it at the end of the loop before it starts over. It needs to be slowed down. If there is a serious weather event occurring (tornado, severe thunderstorm warning, etc.), the "J Allen" ads need to be suspended during the event. We should not have to watch an ad before hearing/seeing an urgent announcement.
