## Review summary

User reviews overwhelmingly criticize WKRG Weather's update: users dislike the new design, clunky navigation, and ad-heavy experience. Repeated issues include unusable radar (inaccuracy, brightness, speed), non-working alerts, loading crashes, and non-functional livestreams. A few users still value the radar's NWS warning overlays and the older, simpler data display. Overall, many want the old version back and for the app to fix reliability and usability problems.

### Pros

- Radar overlays with NWS warnings (polygons) on the map help track severe weather
- Radar remains a core feature that some users rely on for storm tracking
- Older, simpler layout displayed key data (temperature, conditions, humidity) all in one view (a pro noted by reviewers)

### Cons

- The new version is clunky, non-intuitive, with too many links and a cluttered UI
- Intrusive ads, including full-screen ads on launch, slow down or hinder use
- Radar readability/accuracy deteriorated in the new version (clunky, too bright, fast time slider)
- Alerts/notifications do not function or are misbehaving (audio alerts removed)
- App won't load/crashes or stalls; persistent loading issues
- Livestream feeds do not work; links are dead
