## Review summary

Users like the app for push alerts, clear local graphics, timely storm updates, and usefulness for newcomers. However, they repeatedly report intrusive ads, audio problems during videos, and inconsistent/localized forecast accuracy, with some feeling the app’s value has declined due to these changes.

### Pros

- Push notifications for severe weather and alerts.
- Clear local weather graphics presented in a straightforward way without heavy narration.
- Timely storm updates and generally accurate forecasts.
- Helpful for newcomers to stay aware of weather in the area.

### Cons

- Intrusive and frequent ads, including full-screen ads and video ads that disrupt viewing.
- Audio issues during video forecasts (ads bleeding into forecast audio, missing audio, and muting problems).
- Forecast accuracy/localization problems ( Jacksonville-specific forecasts sometimes inaccurate or differ from TV/online reports).
- Perceived decline in overall app usefulness due to ads and changes.
