## Review summary

Users praise WMTV15 for accurate, reliable weather data and useful severe-warnings, plus detailed information and ease of use. However, the app draws strong criticism for intrusive ads, location/alert inaccuracies, iPad compatibility problems, missing dew point data, and slower radar updates. Overall sentiment is mixed: solid data and alerts clash with usability and stability drawbacks.

### Pros

- Accurate and reliable weather data reported across multiple reviews.
- Severe weather alerts/warnings are a highlighted feature that helps users prepare for storms.
- The app provides detailed weather information and is generally easy to use.

### Cons

- Intrusive and heavy advertising, including unskippable ads and ad screens on startup.
- Location/alert accuracy issues: alerts show for the wrong places and the app sometimes mis-detects user location.
- iPad compatibility issues and crashes after updates (or outright non-function on iPad).
- Dew point data is missing or hard to find (demands for dew point visibility).
- Radar updates can be slow/not as timely as users expect.
