5/5Latest version crosses my “line”
I have used this app for some years now. Really like the content. I probably open this app 15-20 times each day. Sadly, the latest version (late January 2021) crosses my line of minimum acceptability, making it unbearable (for me). The new feature that just goes “too far” is a big banner of advertisement that appears a fraction of a second after the background of the home screen first appears. Then, nothing else appears for about 5-7 seconds, after which the app’s useful options appear. Essentially, I now have to wait an additional 5 seconds EVERY time I open the app, during which period, the ONLY thing I see is an advertisement. My time’s too valuable. Bye bye, app. Going elsewhere. Too bad.

5/5My Everyday Weather
It can be good to either have several weather apps or have one that is different than other people in your household or workplace, so you can compare weather results, and average them out. I have other weather apps but this one is my everyday one that I use the most. So many weather apps are riddled with ads & popups, & this one is not. No one is constantly trying to get you to “upgrade” either. I have used this app for over a year, maybe 2 now, every day.

1/5Recent Update
I love this app and have used it for years. Every update they do somehow makes the app a little bit worse each time. This update however is the WORST one they have ever done EASILY! Having to make a “custom” map to display weather alerts and the radar itself is stupid enough already but making the radar go on top of the weather alerts makes this app very frustrating to use. If you look at the map for something like a tornado warning, the radar goes on top of the warning polygon and you have to use the time bar to move the radar off of the warning to see it. Why make this change? The app was good before, and before the initial redesign it was better! Please fix this app, I WILL change my review when you do!

5/5Tell where the weather is going to be
I live in a little town called Leesburg but it seems unless bad weather is going to be close to Cincinnati the information is always saying are county’s to the east. Would like you to be more specific about your country to the east. Especially snow and rain. Thanks

4/5Very good app!
I really like the layout of this app and like the type of radar you use; it seems more detailed than others out there. TWC blew it when they integrated past AND future radar together. Also, it would be nice to be able to change the speed of the radar (I prefer it a bit slower). My only (small) complaint is on the daily forecast, it would be nice if the sun & clouds were in color & not just all shades of gray & white. It makes it seems like every day is going to be blah. Seeing a bright yellow sun in a forecast gives me a happier outlook!
