Tooooo many ads

Have been using this for the detailed radar and pretty accurate hourly forecast for a long while now. But now it is overrun with pop-up ads that make it difficult to look at anything. I can barely switch between any of the features because of ads appearing.

Awful since they added ads

Takes forever to get rid of the ads, if you can. Often it freezes and no number of attempts to close and restart fix the problem. This makes it impossible to see the weather. I’ve given up and am deleting it until they can fix this.

Well I’m done

This was my go to local weather app. Now I can’t look at a forecast without seeing 2+ ads before it shows up. STOP ruining apps.

Annoying Ads

Ads were getting really bad. I deleted the app out of frustration. Royal kingdom came up and I could not get rid of it. I’m going to reinstall and see if it’s better. The other channels app you can just swipe to get out of ad but I like this one better. So I’ll try again

Love it

I love it because it is so good.and it is good for you. You can check the wherever you can and it responds it back to you. One my favorite part it is a hour time and you can go to the map. this is great app for you guys you can have it whenever you want. The map is good for you. The day is good for you. Everything is good for you. This is just for Virginia Beach own. but you can go to other state and look at the other weather and different country you want to pick. I live in China in different places, but they have it and I can check there where one and what app.
