update is terrible

Radar is awful now.

Too many intrusive ads

The ads are brutal and pop up everywhere disrupting viewing. Too many videos. I don’t want to watch a video when I want an overview. I prefer the Action News Jax weather reports and their staff on television, but hands down prefer the News4Jax App.

Ads ruin it

The ads are too intrusive - I immediately uninstalled it after trying it. Not worth it!

Temps in winter

The area you report on is vast. That is good but not for us in Jacksonville specifically Avondale and Ortega. Both my partner and I grow tropical in and outside of the green house. We are both next to the river and the forecasts we hear are the low expectations for Waycross or something like that which causes a flurry of activity and hard work costly work only to find out the low in our 32205 area was 41 not 25.
Also, what’s being said live on TV and live on “ now” online are two entirely different forecasts on temps by the same person.
