Don’t like the app. ### 3/5 — Getting worse *2025-01-16, version 5.17.511* Full screen radar is not lined up. Bottom is missing slider. Top leaves a gap. Hope next update fixes that issue. It was fine before ### 3/5 — Getting worse *2024-12-27* Blue temp on blue background is awful. Last update took away full screen radar. Took the slidebar out when full screen and left gap at the top. Tells you it’s raining after you already know it’s raining by looking outside. Going backwards. Please start over and make this app good again ### 3/5 — Color *2024-12-24* Change the color of temperature. Exspecially over night. Blue on a blue background just blends to much. ### 3/5 — Tooooo many ads during emergencies *2024-07-14, version 5.15.402* You send me notifications that there are severe weather warnings and then to educate myself I open your app and am bombarded by ads. Like I get making ad revenue but how about ease up when you declare an emergency. I have to watch one ad to see the map and if I click the map WHOOPS another ad. No idea what the weathers gonna be like in 10 min but I know something’s coming… ### 4/5 — Nice App, splash screen is too long *2023-07-03, version 5.10.500* I certainly do like the app, but the delay in opening due to the app advertising splash screen needs to be shorter. ### 3/5 — Good weather app *2023-05-09, version 5.7.301* Please create a widget for us app! ### 3/5 — Like *2023-04-05, version 5.7.301* So far so good ### 1/5 — Weather app *2023-03-05, version 5.7.301* The old weather app was better ugh Yes it was I hate the new one ### 1/5 — Alerts *2022-06-16, version 5.4.940* You don’t have to send the same alert out every 5 minutes. I got the message there’s a thunderstorm watch. This is now 3 in 5 minutes. Chill out ## Frequently asked questions about The Mid ### What does the WTAP Weather App do?
