Recent reviews

Have been using this for the detailed radar and pretty accurate hourly forecast for a long while now. But now it is overrun with pop-up ads that make it difficult to look at anything. I can barely switch between any of the features because of ads appearing.

Takes forever to get rid of the ads, if you can. Often it freezes and no number of attempts to close and restart fix the problem. This makes it impossible to see the weather. I’ve given up and am deleting it until they can fix this.
