Review summary

Users like the app for quick access to detailed weather info and safety alerts, but recurring radar and forecast accuracy issues, heavy ads, and a cluttered UI undermine usability for many.

Pros

Easy to use with quick access to weather information (few taps away).
Comprehensive weather details (humidity, temperature, wind, sunset).
Timely weather alerts that help with safety during severe weather.
Helps with planning the day thanks to accessible forecasts.

Cons

Radar imagery is unreliable: flickers, fails to load, and does not always align with forecasts.
Ad-heavy experience with intrusive ads and pop-ups that are hard to close.
UI/UX changes after updates feel cluttered or visually messy, making navigation harder.
Forecast accuracy issues and data gaps (10-day forecasts often wrong; missing rain totals).

2026-05-18	Bu*****	This channel is the most trusted one in the area for severe weather and they know it. Nonetheless, they put 30 second unskippable ads on every video in the app. Tornado warning goes off. Sirens in my neighborhood are going off. Hail pouring down. And yet to watch the 1 minute video about the tornado warning I’m living through, I have to watch a 30 second add. Turn off ads on videos about severe weather.

2025-09-09	Af*****	Sometimes when I click to view the 10 day forecast, I lags which takes me back to my Home Screen. I would love it if that got fixed. Other than that the app is useful and great!

2025-08-25	An*****	Weather alerts like news stories are something out of the ordinary. Telling me every couple hours there’s no weather to report is not what I’m seeking. Should this persist I’ll eliminate the app. Rusty, Jade, Emily and Bo do the best job with weather in the market. That’s why I activated the alerts.

2025-08-07	Ju*****	For some strange reason the app radar hardly ever matches the tv video forecasts. And the 10-day forecasts are often wrong. It’s sometimes hard to plan outside events or trips when you’re not sure what the weather is going to be.
