## Review summary

Users praise WBNG Storm Track 12 for strong local coverage, up-to-date forecasts, and educational insights, and view it as a solid local alternative to the Weather Channel. However, multiple reviews cite intrusive ads, inconsistent forecast data, video playback issues, excessive alerts, and occasional stability problems. Top benefits are local focus, accuracy, and presentation, with key improvements needed in ads, data reliability, and performance.

### Pros

- Strong local focus with up-to-date forecasts from the Binghamton/Southern Tier weather team.
- Perceived as a better local option than the Weather Channel.
- Educational and extra information from the local team.
- Pleasant UI/look and feel.
- Useful weather alerts for local events and away-from-home coverage.

### Cons

- Intrusive ads and mandatory UHS video ads that are hard to skip.
- Forecast accuracy and data reliability problems (inaccurate rain chances, changing snow inches, missing temperature).
- Video playback issues and audio problems with forecasts.
- Alerts are overly frequent or intrusive for minor weather events.
- Stability issues across devices (map not working reliably; iPad freezes; submission errors).
