3/5Can not remove add
I saw once a banner to remove ads Just once been waiting days to see the banner removed and seek in no such luck. Would be nice if you helped her settings could update your app to remove ads Thus no way to update this app to remove ads

4/5Emergencies happen at night
Really like this app, especially that severe weather alerts are announced. BUT if something happens when your Do Not Disturb setting is turned on, you won’t know till you look at your phone. If there’s weather that’s severe enough for a warning coming to my area, go ahead and break through my Do Not Disturb!

2/5Disappointed
This app is terrible. Their video forecast is usually day old vs ABC’s that updated their video forecast three to five times a day. Also, the forecast is generally incorrect (more than their competitors)

1/5MomofTRJ
I hate the new look. This app used to be my favorite because it was user-friendly and very easy to read. You could click on the 10-day forecast and it has each day compartmentalized in an easy-to-see box. Now it all runs together and is more jumbled looking. Please go back to the old look. Newer isn't always better.
