### 1/5 — I deleted because of too many ads

*2026-06-03, version 6.2.512*

Awful loud pop-up advertising take over your whole screen. Been using this app for years I’ve now deleted it. Not that y’all actually care.

### 1/5 — Too many Ad’s

*2026-06-01, version 6.2.512*

There are pop up ads every time you click on a forecast or map, please change this back to the way it was!

### 1/5 — Annoying Pop Up Ads

*2026-05-22, version 6.1.601*

The pop up ads are ridiculously loud and annoying. After having this app for 10+ years I will be looking for another!

### 1/5 — You ruined a great app!!

*2026-05-21, version 6.1.601*

This app used to have the best radar and over the past year y’all ruined it. The pop ups are terrible. Some has sound and that you can’t control. It’s a dam shame that greedy idiots has to ruin everything. Don’t download this app!!!

### 1/5 — Stop The Ads

*2026-05-12, version 6.1.601*

This weather app is very reliable and informative, but now they have added pop up ads that come up out of nowhere and are long to get out of. I’m just trying to look at the weather guys. I’m looking for a new weather app now.

### 1/5 — Since the update

*2026-03-08, version 6.1.601*

Since the update, it’s not as user friendly. It has pop up ads when you try to click on radar. The earthquake alerts use to be sized according to the size of the quake. Now they are all the same size and you have to click to verify the size. This use to be my favorite weather app, now It’s back to the drawling board.

### 1/5 — Stop the pop up ads

*2025-07-24, version 5.17.706*

I used to love this app.  Now they have added pop up ads when you go to switch between the map and or forecast.  People need weather now not an ad for an apartment.  Going to delete and find/use a different weather app.

### 1/5 — Now with MORE Ads 😡

*2025-07-17, version 5.17.615*

This was my go to app for weather, minimal ad placement but now every menu selection makes you watch an ad!!!!!  Not functional anymore, will be using a different app from now on-so disappointed!!!!

### 1/5 — Not receiving push notifications

*2024-01-20, version 5.13.800*

Useless app, not receiving NWS alerts!

### 1/5 — Slow & ad

*2024-01-12, version 5.12.705*

This is the slowest weather app I've seen.
Also, the ad is for a place not even in my area.
It says Max, it's Min.
