### 1/5 — Giant ad - Unusable

*2025-11-06, version 2.1.8*

They put an ad in the middle of the entire screen that I can't dismiss (button doesn't close it).

So... after many years I can't use it anymore. 

It's a friggen UI on top of NOAA - I wish these greedy surf app devs would realize they offer very little value. Make it free with no ads.
