Worthless

This is the most worthless weather app I’ve ever used. For this to come from a local station makes it even worse. The radar lookalike it’s from 1997 and the app itself is so hard to navigate. I’m using an app from the panhandle that gives me a more accurate weather forecast than this garbage here. Do not download this useless weather app.

Great Radar - fix your alerts

Living in Tampa and enjoying outdoor water sports, I rely on this app’s radar including lightning strikes. It’s fantastic — better even than Apple’s weather app’s radar or Weather.com’s. It even has alerts when lightning is approaching the area. Up until now, the radar and alerts have been the best part of the app. Unfortunately, someone higher up that clearly doesn’t use their own app decided weather alerts should include when the weather girl is live.
I. Don’t. Care. That’s not a weather alert. I’m so tired of seeing this alert multiple times per day, I’m sorely tempted to delete the app.
Regarding the other reviews’ complaints of ads — there’s one you can immediately click out of when you first open the app — not an issue.

Stop non safety notifications!

The app changed to include notifications for live news. I only want safety notifications so I’m deleting the app. Even though you have great radar and lightning alerts, it’s not worth getting too many non important notifications!

Accuracy is the worst

On a daily basis they miss the high temp by 6-8 degrees to the hot side compared to Weather Channel and other local stations.

App not working correctly

The app crashes every time I click on the radar map. I do not get all the reading of current temperatures and feels like temperature. I also has uninstalled the app and re- installed the app and it still does not work
