User Reviews

Users praise the app for easy use, accurate local forecasts (WLEX), and reliable storm tracking. However, many reviews focus on ad-related issues: intrusive, video-heavy ads disrupting navigation, hard-to-close pop-ups overlaying radar/forecasts, and ads causing delays in loading and content. These concerns are paired with occasional radar/update delays, reducing usefulness during severe weather. Despite loyalty to WLEX’s accuracy, the ad experience and data delays push some users toward ad-free or alternative weather apps.

Pros

Easy-to-use interface.
Accurate local forecasts (notably WLEX).
Longstanding, trusted weather source in the area.
Helpful during storms and can reduce anxiety.
Solid storm-tracking features.

Cons

Intrusive, video-heavy ads disrupt navigation.
Ads overlay radar/forecast content and are hard to close.
Radar/live data updates can be delayed or unreliable.
Startup and navigation can be slow due to ads.
Some users consider ad-free or alternative apps due to the ad experience.

Recent reviews

The ads pop up too frequently and you can’t even exit out of the ad. You have to exit out of the app entirely and hope that when you open it back up, it might maybe let you actually use the app long enough to check the weather before another ad pops up and halts your use of the app. This is a local organization so I gave them a few weeks to get the issue sorted out and the ads went away but then they came back. It seems they care more about receiving money from marketing than allowing their community access to weather forecasts.

This app has always been great, and the most accurate weather app compared to so many others on the market but I can’t stand full screen ads! I open the app, and I get a full screen ad right away any more. Click on the map tab, full screen ad, can’t even look at the map fully without getting another full screen ad. Want to look at the hourly? Got to watch a full screen ad first, want to scroll down, you get another full screen ad! So annoying! I have to close to app just to open it again, just to get another ad! I know you got to pay bills but come on folks!
