I can’t see the radar without turning off 10 layers of alerts that cover it up. ### 1/5 — New wx program *2022-02-09, version 5.4.949* You have let a computer nerd to get hold of the best wx program I’ve ever had and destroy it. I live in Texas near San Antonio. I have all kinds of wx reporting stations locally but chose to use your station from up in the northeast because it WAS the best to navigate. Now you have gone crazy trying to have it be more modern. I’m in search for a new station that has something similar to your old format. I’ll give y’all a week to correct this crappy format AND illuminate the advertisements. If you don’t do that I’m a goner. I’m sure you don’t care because you’ve paid big bucks to have an excellent wx totally screwed up.

During stormy weather either nothing is indicated or a portion of the reflected weather flashes. ### 2/5 — Weather app *2022-05-19, version 5.5.703* Don’t like the ads. Clearer day by day forecast. Liked old design better. ### 2/5 — Draining my battery *2020-08-02, version 5.0.601* This was my favorite app until I kept experiencing bad battery life. I discovered this app was running in the background for hours and worse still this app is not showing up in the settings so I can’t even control it. ### 2/5 — Annoying Ads… *2020-05-07, version 5.0.301* …have become way too prominent (splash screen, top of every page). Deleting. ### 3/5 — Weather watcher in Chesapeake *2023-06-02, version 5.8.501* Great App but sometimes it doesn’t work showing the clouds or precipitation in my area. The map is just blank. And that can’t be. Also I ask for earthquakes. Don’t get those anymore. It’s changes all the time. ### 5/5 — Love it *2025-05-19, version 5.17.508* 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. ### 5/5 — Fabulous app! *2023-07-26, version 5.10.500* 100% better than the Weather Channel app!!! ### 5/5 — Fast weather updates *2023-01-27, version 5.7.301* Enjoying this app. Great satellite and information!
