### Cons

- Excessive advertising creates clutter and frequent ad loops, detracting from the experience.

- Bugs and confusing navigation, including an problematic 'always on' setting prompt and inconsistent app modes.
- Too many or unwanted notifications (non-severe weather alerts) overwhelm users.
