## Review summary

Users praise WSVN 7Weather for strong radar (cones, satellite) and a clean, fast, easy-to-use interface that makes it a go-to storm app for Florida. However, recurring complaints center on instability (crashes and missed notifications), feature gaps (location settings, storm metadata, removed video uploads), and media playback or update glitches (no audio, orientation bugs) that affect the overall experience.

### Pros

- Comprehensive radar features with weather cones, satellite view, and accurate radar
- Easy-to-use, clean daily/hourly interface designed for on-the-go weather checks
- Widely valued as a go-to storm/travel weather app for South Florida and nearby regions
- Fast performance and responsiveness compared with some competing weather apps

### Cons

- Stability and reliability issues: frequent crashes, slow updates, and occasional missing notifications
- Missing features and configuration options: no simple way to change current location, no storm names/dates, and some features (e.g., video uploads) removed
- Audio/video playback problems: weather videos often have no audio or broken playback
- UI/UX drawbacks after updates: orientation issues in emails, navigation delays, and a tendency to resemble another app rather than maintaining originality
