## Review summary

Review synthesis: Users repeatedly praise the radar capabilities and the DMV-focused data, and note the app is a strong weather source when it works. However, the majority of criticism centers on intrusive ads, inconsistent radar/forecast accuracy after updates, and frequent freezes/crashes. Many users dislike UI changes that removed familiar views or complicated navigation, and some report disruptive or erroneous alerts and location-management issues. Overall sentiment is mixed: the app has valuable features, but reliability and user experience problems significantly hamper its usefulness.

### Cons

- Inaccurate/unstable forecasts and radar after updates
- Frequent crashes, freezes, and load issues
- UI redesigns that removed familiar views and complicated navigation
- Jarring or overly frequent alerts and location-management issues
