## Review summary

Users repeatedly report clutter from ads and non-weather content, a busy redesign that ruins usability, unreliable weather forecasts, and non-working or unsavable alerts. These issues lead many to abandon WKBN 27 Weather in favor of the older app or alternative weather solutions.
