### 1/5 — Can’t find any info!

*2020-08-23*

Looking for a map with storms.  Nothing comes up.  No map, no nothing.  If it’s there, it’s certainly not user friendly to find it.

### 1/5 — Worthless

### 5/5 — Nice app

*2018-03-26*

The developer added a switch to turn off the ads!

**Developer response:** Dear User,

Your feedback means a lot to us. The aim of the ads were never for commercial purposes, but for our researches.. therefore we have added a switch in the setting pan to allow users (who consider Ads "distracting") to switch Ads off, with no cost.
I strongly recommend you to visit the Settings view and switch off the ads.
Thank you for your feedback.
