1. 5/5Just the facts !!!

   With this program you can check the weather any where in the world. It works almost instantaneously to give you either a written statement of the weather or you can look at the pretty pictures . Either way you get the latest update available for any where in the world.

2. 1/5Disengenuous - beware

   I was astonished to find that the app does NOT follow its own settings...when you first set it up, you are given three choices as a setting: (1) Never use your location (2) Use your location only while using app (3) Always use your location Well, I chose (2), because I thought it only fair that an application might need your location info while you are using it, so that it runs more efficiently or better, etc. However, after I left the application - stopping it, I noticed that I still have a banner running at the top of my screen which says,”NOAA Now is Actively Using Your Location. I went to the website to the privacy information located at the bottom of the page, and was informed that the company that runs and oh AAA now does not knowingly pass your personal information on to anyone. That being said, if that is the case then why does it need to run in the background, even when you have left the application and closed it? Because what it is telling you is not actually what it does. For that reason I am uninstalling this application and sending a notice to the Better Business Bureau about the company’s misrepresentation of its product. Caveat emptor - let the buyer beware (even though this application version it’s free)

3. 2/5Useful app, horrible advertising

   I used to really like this app. It contained the latest, most useful information. That being said I’ve stopped using it because with the last update brought a new advertising feature. Now, just about everything you try to do in the app brings up an advertisement for something. Some ads are only a few seconds long, others a half a minute. Mostly harmless but extremely annoying, every time you tap to view something different, an ad pops up. I’m done with it! I’ll find some other app with the same information but less annoying ads!

4. 2/5Ads ruin the App

   Although the information in Global Storms is very helpful, the video ads make it nearly impossible to use. Ads pop up all the time and they are often impossible to close or skip, meaning I must shut down the App and try again. You guys should consider testing your app on a iPad so you encounter this frustrating problem. Update …. It’s gotten worse. The ads for games are out of control and the Skip Video button doesn’t work. I assume they added that button just to be extra annoying to users.

5. 1/5Ads

   This app used to be awesome (especially the hurricane tracker), even with ads...but now, when it’s opened, you are given the option to buy and go ad-free, or to continue with ads...only you are now inundated with ads. Every single time you go to a new screen, an ad pops up and there’s no way to close it....EVERY. TIME. So you wait 10-15 seconds for it to close on it’s own and/or give you the option to close the ad...nothing happens so you have to minimize the app and open it back up for it to move on to the next screen...nobody has time for that in a weather emergency. So much for the “option” to go ad-free...no thanks...
