## Review summary

Many reviews praise the app for local weather usefulness and familiarity, but multiple pain points recur: intrusive ads after updates; unreliable radar and video forecast features; stability problems that make the app slow or unusable; and inconsistent forecast accuracy. Overall, users value the local-weather angle when the app works, but reliability and ad-related interruptions are driving dissatisfaction and migration to alternatives.

### Pros

- Useful for local weather and straightforward to use when the app loads.
- Has been a long-standing tool for Cleveland weather across devices, with familiarity for users.
- Provides local forecasts that people rely on for planning when features work correctly.

### Cons

- Full-page ads introduced in updates disrupt the experience and navigation.
- Radar reliability issues: misleading displays (clear sky when raining) and 24-hour radar playback freezes.
- Video forecast features often do not update or fail to play (Video Error, cannot play requested video).
- App performance problems: slows down, sometimes won’t open or locks up.
- Forecasts are frequently inaccurate or inconsistent, reducing trust in the app.
