2/5Useless Tornado Warning
The warning was issued for the entire county. The entire county. It led to a map which was limited to a fraction of the phone’s screen and was unintelligible. No hint of where or when the tornado was first detected or the direction of travel. The city’s siren was more informative than this app. Looking elsewhere, we discovered that the tornado was spotted about 10 miles due south of us and traveled east, and that the warning had since expired. All in just a few minutes. Absolutely useless in severe weather.

4/5Great but…
I live this app so much more than other weather apps. However, the last update took away the past radar option. That is the best way to see where a storm is coming from and takes away the fun of watching the weather and preparing for severe weather! Bring back the past radar!

5/5Very helpful
I don’t understand all the haters. This is a great app that provides accurate weather information in a timely manner. Easy to use.

2/5Ads are their top priority
It’s frustrating that they don’t even allow their own weather update videos to finish before the meteorologist is cut off mid sentence and another ad starts to play. Even during critical weather situations, you have to sit through an ad before the app opens, and before any critical weather video will play. This app is all about the ads.

4/5Slow startup
I don’t like to ad that slows the startup of the app. Get rid of that, please. Everything else is great.
