Old Issues Still and Ad Hack Attempt
Old issues with alerts still happen from time to time. But the final straw was when an add try to get me to download a virus. Avoid at all costs now.
Can do lots with the interactive map
Always use this to decide when to walk my dog Mia
WAND Weather Map
The Doppler map no longer accurately tracks weather events. Something has happened in the last few weeks making the map almost useless for tracking weather events.
Storm??
Radar shows storms over my whole town and there is nothing in the sky. Other apps also show nothing in the way of weather. Incorrect and misleading. Not sure why.
Tornado Alert Fail
Weather app never alerted us for a tornado 2 miles from our house. Total fail for me. Radar is good but don’t count on this app to tell you when there is a tornado.
Popups
I don’t like the popups that come up on the screen. If I wanted to look at ads I wouldn’t be on the weather screen.
Horrible because of ads
Do yourself a favor and get WICS or FOX or WCIA’s app because this has full screen ads that deploy and block view for seconds when trying to navigate.
This app had banner ads at one time, but then they decided to deploy full screen ads that prevent usage until you click it or they expire. In an app that you use in emergency situations this is absolutely not ideal, in fact, I find it rather gross.
I swear I wrote a review about this the other day, yet now I can’t find it. I was going to update the original review to include alternatives that offer the same content but without the full screen ads, but I can’t find it; so I’m writing another review to let people know they can get the exact same functionality without using this app.

No longer my go to!
Used to be my favorite app for weather! I don’t even mind they added the ads. What I hate is that you can’t close the ads. It shows you an ad then makes it impossible to close. Ruined it for me. I’ll use the weather channel!
Offer a paid version please!
The ads are horrible and so irritating & inconvenient to wait on. I want weather from my local station, and I used to love this app. Please listen to your audience and change this ad situation. I would happily pay a small fee for an ad-free version! PLEASE!
Ads are out of control
The app isn’t to bad overall but they have gone overboard with the ads. Not only are they on the screen in banners which isn’t too bad, I deleted the app when they started to pop up and completely cover the screen. You have to wait for the “x” to come up and close the screen, then do it a second time. Just as bad as a low budget website selling garbage. Low class move on their part.

Hate the ads
This was once a great app before they started using ads.
Adds!!!
Had to delete the app due to not being able to close the add after it runs. This app never used to have pop up adds. Would reload if they get rid of the pop up adds.
Why Ads Now?
Why all of a sudden are they filling the app with ads? And they are often difficult to close the ads between forecast pages. Uninstalled app.
Get rid of the pop up ads
I just had to delete this app because it would not let me get out of the ad. I used to like this app but not anymore.It is quite annoying to wait through an ad until it will give you an X so you can cancel it. GET Rid Of THE ADS.I just want to see the weather.
Worst app
Ads are now on this app. Very annoying. I am deleting
Full screen video ads with audio
This has been my go-to app as long as I can remember for local weather. I don’t mind ad-supported apps, but I can’t tolerate full screen ads that appear out of nowhere blaring audio. Time to find a new app.
Get rid of Ads
I used to like this app, but now it’s getting the boot because of the pop up ads… and the ads are for games that I have no interest in ever playing.
In An Emergency, Do I Want To See A Pop up Ad!!!
I’ve had this app for several years and check it frequently through out the day, especially during bad weather. Recent changes allow pop up ads to cover the screen, not just banner ads!!
Do I really want a pop up ad for a game to hide the map of where the severe weather is? And the sound comes blaring out unless you’re phone is on silent. Whoever had this bright idea should be outside when severe weather is heading their way, Lol!!
I understand you have to make money with advertising, but do it on the tv, not on an app when I’m checking on the path of a tornado or severe thunderstorm!!
Hate to replace this but I’m trying out new weather apps. Bye Bye soon.

Get rid of the pop-up ads
This is been my top weather app for many years- It has always been superior to any other weather app-Until recently when the whole screen pop-up ads with sound started-Please stop these ads so I don’t have to delete this app!!!!
Weather now covered in ads
Ad banners were tolerable, but now playing ads over the weather map means I will have to find an app that is usual.
