## Review summary

Users value the app for accurate local weather, live SkyTrack cameras, and trusted meteorologists, plus 24/7 updates and severe-weather alerts. However, repeated issues across reviews include intrusive ads, confusing navigation, degraded radar features that hinder localization, frequent crashes, and concerns about precipitation accuracy. To retain users, Wave 3 Louisville Weather needs UI improvements, reliability fixes, and better radar/forecast accuracy while maintaining its strong local-focus features.

### Pros

- Accurate local weather updates with timely alerts and trusted local reporting.
- Access to SkyTrack cameras for live weather visuals.
- Voice/spoken alerts for severe weather (e.g., tornado warnings).
- Reliable, 24/7 weather information and a go-to app during storms.
- On-air meteorologists and forecasts that feel informative and reassuring.

### Cons

- Too many intrusive ads and long commercials, including video ads interrupting weather content.
- Poor UI/navigation and changes that make it harder to access localized information on multiple screens.
- Radar features degraded: past-present view is harder to access, requires zoom, and appears less localized.
- Frequent crashes, stalls, and slow performance when switching views or loading content.
- Inaccurate or unreliable precipitation forecasts, with rain often predicted that doesn’t occur.
