### 1/5 — Newest update is horrible

*2026-06-25, version 6.2.517*

I’ve used this app for well over a year and have loved it. They just added some new update and it has ads everywhere you can’t even use the app anymore without ads. Right when you open it - ad. Swap to another tab or page - ad. Extremely disappointing and not usable. I thought this was the best weather view I’d found in OK until this

### 1/5 — Not good anymore

*2026-06-25, version 6.2.517*

This used to be my favorite weather app. But now every time I try to get on ads pop-up, I can’t even check the weather anymore. 
!

### 1/5 — Used to always rely on this app

*2026-06-25, version 6.2.517*

Can’t open the app and check the weather anymore. As soon as it launches a timed add takes over. I will remove the add by removing the app.

### 1/5 — WAS A Great App

*2026-06-25, version 6.2.517*

—- Update —-

It keeps getting worse! We’re in the middle of a lightning storm, and I can’t check the weather map. Why? Because a STUPID AI ad keeps popping up and won’t allow the map to show for more than 5 seconds!

Are you really that obtuse!?

—- End Update —-

I’ve been using this app for about 10 years.  It’s been the best weather app, until recently anyway.

Some marketing genius thought hijacking your screen and forcing you to watch an advertisement was a good idea.  Ads that look like my iPhone screen with virus alerts hijack my screen. Are you seriously stupid?  Fire your marketing team!

Rule 1 of software development:  NEVER lock the user into something they can’t get out of.

### 1/5 — Way too many ads now

*2026-06-24, version 6.2.517*

After the radar appeared to stop working I reloaded the app and now can’t get away from the front loaded ads. Time to go looking for other provider. Ugh.

### 1/5 — No longer the best weather app

*2026-06-24, version 6.2.517*

This used to be the best weather app to go to for storms, but not anymore since the ads have been added, the app does not function as it should. It does not update the storm tracks and if you try to zoom in to see just how far anything is everything disappears and you can’t switch from radar to clouds and radar to alerts and everything show up it just disappears

### 1/5 — Fix the app

*2026-06-24, version 6.2.517*

It used to be way better than it is now please fix it
The radar doesn’t work right kicks you out every time you try to use the slider 
ads pop up 
the radar shows nothing or it shows yesterdays weather

### 1/5 — Agree with others. This has gone downhill

*2026-06-23, version 6.1.501*

For years and years, this has been the app I have on my home screen for checking weather updates and it had my favorite display of the radar. Living in Oklahoma, we need something 100% reliable when making a decision to head to the shelter. Now my radar no longer works and sometimes kicks me out of the app completely. Very sad since I finally convinced my husband this app was more accurate than his. 😞 fix the radar!!

### 1/5 — 😡

*2026-06-23, version 6.1.501*

Can’t even get radar to work

### 1/5 — Radar on app

*2026-06-22, version 6.1.501*

Radar on app doesn’t work. Tried to notify and wouldn’t accept my email. Guess they don’t care
