## Review summary

WAAY StormTracker offers strong radar and forecasts with a user-friendly interface, and solid, up-to-date storm coverage. However, users report a heavy ad burden, excessive/duplicate alerts, radar display problems after updates, and some accessibility issues like presets not saving or location restrictions. Core radar/forecast features are solid, but ad and notification annoyances significantly affect the experience.

### Pros

- User-friendly interface and easy navigation.
- Accurate Doppler-based radar with interactive features.
- Detailed hour-by-hour forecasts and consistently updated weather data.
- Reliable radar and alerts that cover storm activity.

### Cons

- Intrusive and persistent ads that can block or delay radar use.
- Excessive or duplicate push notifications for the same alerts.
- Radar loading/display issues after updates (e.g., radar not loading, missing Past/Future radar).
- Presets or settings do not stay saved.
- Location/access restrictions that prevent app use in certain areas.
