## Review summary

Users praise FOX 17 Code Red Weather for clear radar maps and reliable safety alerts, and for usefulness across locations. But many cite a problematic update: harder warning filtering, darker shading, and non-persistent radar settings; intrusive ads (including pornographic ads); lagging/incorrect radar data; and excessive non-severe alerts. Some users request widgets and air-quality data as future features.

### Pros

- Clear, fast radar maps with accurate current conditions and hour-by-hour viewing.
- Reliable Code Red weather alerts that help keep users safe.
- Useful across locations and travels, aiding planning and staying informed.
- High overall usefulness for quick weather checks.

### Cons

- Radar/warning controls were made confusing in updates; filtering is hard, tornado warnings can't be isolated, and opacity affects all layers; settings don’t persist.
- Ads are intrusive, occupying screen space and including pornographic ads.
- Radar/precipitation data is often behind or inaccurate, even within warnings.
- Too many lightweight alerts (rain/lightning) that wake users or clutter notifications.
