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.

2026-06-02	NC*****	I used to love this app but now it plays a two minute ad every time I click on a different section, like hourly forecast or daily forecast. It’s so bothersome that I had to delete it.

2026-05-31	My*****	Why does a weather app need pushed ads to check the weather. Good thing there is no weather warnings as I may never make it to shelter since I have to watch an ad first.

2026-04-14	So*****	I used to love this app until just recently. When the weather is frightening and you want to see updated radar, you shouldn’t have to watch an ad first. Like WTH?!? Put that in the 7 day forecast area where you know someone is just chilling and making plans—not when their lives may be in danger.
