5/5Ms. T
I kept checking this app during hurricane Barry and the wind speed forecast was accurate for my area (25-35mph) Sat-Sunday. Rain forecasting is dependably spotty at best ; ) Although hurricane Barry was not much but a trop storm, people are still shell shocked from the floods of 2016 causing quite an emotional stir. Parents in BR went to a hotel, better than leaving their home in chest deep water in 2016!

1/5Getting too stupid with the ads
The forced ads are now to the point of ridiculousness. I can’t open up your app without two ads being pushed through. Never had this issue before. This is why I’m deleting your app and going with a different one. I understand that the ads pay for things but when they are forced through every few seconds and I can x out of it, I’m no longer interested in your product. Only reason I’m leaving a review is in hopes that you all will wake up and correct this BS.

2/5Seriously?
This App used to be great. Now I can’t see the map because long, drawn out ads pop up immediately and once they’re done you can’t even click the X to close them out. I closed the app 3 times in a row and the same ad just kept popping up. Look, I know ads help revenue but if that’s the issue just make people pay for the app so they can have weather at their fingertips as soon as they need it. Sad to see this app change so much.

5/5Quick Updates
Nice to be able to pop in and get quick updates for the next few hours or the next few days.

5/5Overall a good app.
The best feature of this app is the radar. It loads quickly and animates wellThe hourly and daily outlook features are not particularly accurate, but I’m sure that’s because this is an app is not a degreed meteorologist….. it is simply widely used set of algorithms.
