HORRIBLE

App works okay. The forecasts are rarely right. Severe weather notifications happen after the event. If they say breezy , expect high winds. Can’t e trusted.

Out of here

Not very accurate and they seem to keep finding ways to squeeze more and more advertising into my weather. What good is a 14 day forecast if you can’t forecast weather more than 2 or 3 days accurately?

Annoying Ads

I often consult the hour by hour data. The video ads have been intrusive, but now they pop up every 2 seconds.

Not loving the updated app

I loved being able to open my app and see the current temp and conditions not liking
The cluttered look.
It was just a bit too much for me.
I had to delete it.
