Dump the Ads!

I have this app to understand the weather, not to be barraged with Ads! Make up your minds. Do you want to provide an app the shows us the weather or Ads?

27 JUN 2026: surprising that you don’t show us ads for disaster recovery for those who couldn’t see the weather info because of the obscuring ads.

Please change the radar

With a recent update, you changed the radar. I don’t like how quickly it moves. I don’t like there isn’t an option to change the speed. I’ve tried just using the bar to stop and go, but it’s too jerky. Please, please change it back.
Otherwise, this is where I check my weather forecast…forget any other app!

Ads Ads Ads

The full screen splash ads at every turn ruin an otherwise decent weather app. There’s banner ads too, that should suffice. You don’t need to block the screen, especially during severe weather.

Great App!

This is my preferred weather app by far. It has never failed me!!

Jumps to hourly tab

Very annoying, constantly jumps from Home tab to Hourly tab. I just want to use the horizontal scroll for the hourly ON THE HOME tab! Like it used to work.

Current radar

The current radar is not accurate compared to other weather apps or even the radar shown on the local TV channel. It’s like it’s off by a few hours or so. It could be pouring outside but the radar on this apps shows the rain or storms is miles/hours away.

So. Slow.

When it actually matters and there is weather, the past and future cast stalls. I get it if it’s cellular but in WiFi? No excuse. Tired of all the good weather apps getting bought and nerfed and we are stuck with these lackluster ones.

Latest version April 26

Logo NWA Weather Authority acts as an overlapping image that covers up data on screen in parts of this app. THE fix worked to remove overlapping image!!!

entirely too video heavy

this is a mobile app. having graphics and charts would suffice. not a fan of constantly having to load a video - wait for an add just to see a forecast

Ads Ads Ads

The app is good and the info is good but the ads that pop up and obscure everything make it a non-stater for me. I would almost be willing to pay to avoid... but then again, maybe not.

HORRIBLE - FLOODED WITH ADS REDIRECTS

HAD TO DELETE IT. Obnoxious ads, multiple redirects, trying to make money on ad clicks and in no way trying to provide a service to local viewers. The WORST weather app EVER!!!!!

Video ads are a deal breaker

This has been the most accurate forecast app I’ve used. The pop up ads were annoying but a quick swipe and they were gone. The new mandatory video ads however are a step too far. If I need forecast data RIGHT NOW I can’t, I have to sit through video ads. What If it were an emergency?
I get the bill need to be paid, and showing still ads would be a fine compromise. But this...

Sorry, Dan. I’m out. I’ll get my weather data elsewhere.

This app used to be good

This app used to be good. The last tornado warning we were under, they didn’t even provide the local weather... basically makes the app worthless..

Better have WiFi

When it matters the most and there’s a cloud in the sky, this app is so busy with junk it won’t load if your on cellular. I’ve not once gotten a “live” report. Sunny day forecast is great but if there is stormy weather you might as well just look out the window. I’ve needed it to work several times in severe weather with plenty of signal and the app has let me down. every. single. time :-(

Clickbait and Bugs

Crashes and way too many notifications that don’t matter. Example - Gives notifications for counties in Oklahoma when they have a tornado warning. I don’t mind seeing that in the app because it’s our region, but don’t send notifications. Also get meaningless notifications like, “Will the storms stay in the forecast? Click to see!” Uninstalling.

Annoying ”teaser” notifications

Find another option!!

Frequent notifications all of which are just unimportant teaser questions from Melissa and Dan.

Ex: “Will this heat continue or does the weekend bring us a cool down? Click here to find out -Dan”.

These pointless and very annoying notifications are always signed from either Melissa or Dan...they spam you several times a day!

It’s unnecessary and rude. It’s literally made me not like them anymore.

Weather related notifications should only be used for communicating important ACTUAL weather related news.

Love this app

I absolutely love your app, when I was in Missouri over the summer it still gave me the weather alerts in my exact locations excellent app

Latest update broke it

Please rollback the "bug fixes". It stopped working when you rolled those out.

Crash crash crash

Newest update won't open without crashing.
