The ads are out of control

I loved this app and now I hate when I open it. Forcing me to watch an ad everytime I click through anything is going to force me to delete the app.
The information, radar, videos of weather broadcasts-all great.
You’re ruining a good thing.

Ads issue

There is no way to pay a subscription or anything to remove ads. This used to not be a thing. But now literally every fricking click on the app an ad pops up. Like man I’m just trying to see if my house about to blow away in a hurricane not play “clash of clans”

Horrible

The adds have made this app unusable. Can’t open the app to see the weather without having to sit through a long add.

Adds stink!

Getting 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.

Ad sounds

The ads with sounds are terrible. If you are in a quiet setting trying to check the weather, it is frustrating to have sounds that are not expected. Please consider only silent advertisements for the app.

Full-screen ads with sound. No thanks!

Loved this app for years. Lifelong acadiana resident. App is now unusable. Plays loud, fullscreen ads on app launch and more. Uninstalling and extremely disappointed. Banners were fine, I know ad revenue keeps the app free, but this is ridiculous.

Ads make app inoperable

I have used this app for years. Lately, the ads have been so invasive that it makes it nearly impossible to check the weather. Everytime you click on something or open the app…another ad. Not to mention all the ads where the close button doesn’t work. This sucks!

Seriously?

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.

Ads are ridiculous

This started a couple weeks ago. Every time I touch the app to go to radar, hourly, daily, or Doppler, a stupid ad shows up (with a timer on it). Sometimes 5 seconds, sometimes 30 seconds or more. I’ve had to wait through 5 ads to be able to check the weather!

I’m getting really tired of every time you click on a different area of the app an ad pops up. All I wanna do is look at the weather without having to wait for ads to run through before you can close them.

KATC Weather

The new update is still horrible. The map is so hard to read used to. It was so easy to keep up with the weather. It’s impossible. When you look at day and then look at the hour and it’s completely different. Day of the week sometimes says no rain then when you look by the hour it’s completely different. I really wished y’all would put it back like it was.

The new update on yawls app sucks. It doesn’t make any sense of what you have to do to get weather. Someone needs to look into this and fix it. You cannot send no emails to y’all. It doesn’t make any sense about the way. The new update is laid out. You cannot get no alerts for lightning, severe thunderstorms anything.

Went from excellent to poor

Only weather app I use to track, temperature, wind etc, whatever you need, it's there. It travels with you anywhere. Just enter the state your in, with the three little bars on the top right corner.
