Deleted it after years of use

I have been using this for years because it has a great track record for accurate weather however, with the new pop up video ads they implemented I am absolutely furious. There is no way to turn them off. I have deleted the app and now I’m looking for a different source for my weather.

Was great, no so much now

I have loved this app, it has been my go to for weather across the country for 2 years now. Recently an update brought in pop-up ads that remind me of a pay to play video game. Ridiculous.

Hate the changes!

I really loved this app and used it all the time. Best weather app with radar for my area, by far! But now I hate it because of all the pop-up ads. They’re loud, even when I have my phone on silent, and come out of nowhere. And you can’t close them easily once they time out. I have to close the app and reopen it just to get rid of them. Super annoying! Now I find myself avoiding using this app and using other weather apps instead. I may even uninstall if nothing changes.

Annoyed

Really loved this app until a few days ago when it started having a popup ad when switching from weekly to hourly weather. I hate having my morning coffee in peace, while checking weather & a noisy ad pops up. I would’ve gave it 5 stars before the ads started.

Radar

Your 24 hr radar is now freezing after only 12 hrs

Radar

The radar needs upgrading. Goes for hours with no graphics. I have started going to Weather Channel or Accuweather when I want to see the radar. Not my phone. Other weather radar’s are fine. Needs fixing.

Great app!

This app has really improved. No more blaring popup ads, easy to navigate, and lots of good information. I use it multiple times a day to stay current.

I love Weather!!!!

Heyyyyy allll! My name is Isabel and i absolutely love weather!!!!!! Wane Wx is my absolute favorite! Yasssss Queen!

Hate the full screen video Ads

Going elsewhere. Would return to this app if the annoying full screen ads were eliminated.

No way to exit the blaring pop up ad

I’m finding another weather app. Sick of the blaring pop ups with no way to close or silence, i.e. the robocall ad. It’s more annoying than the actual robocall.

Ads

I understand free apps need ads, but this is next level!

Video ads with sound

Intrusive full screen video ads that cannot be closed. This can be awkward when you just wanted to check the weather and your phone starts blaring some ad in a setting where it may not be appropriate

Won’t Open Most of the Time

Have downloaded three times and it usually only will open nine times out of ten. I give up.

Ads.....☹️

Like the app. Tired of the ads popping up when I all I want is the weather. Add a paid version to get rid of them or scale the ad placement back.
The news app is no different!

Ad city

Your video ads are annoying. Seriously every single time I click on radar I am forced to watch another video. No thanks there’s about 10,000 weather apps to choose from. Goodbye

The newest update saved the app

I can use the future setting again and the entire radar is nice and sleek.

Didn’t need to change the maps

Wish they didn’t mess with the map it was find how it was

World’s worst weather app

WANE needs to trash this app and start over. It only opens 50% of the time on iOS devices. Use Weather Underground, that works 100%, all the time.

Too many ads

I’d love to use this app. I mean it’s well-designed it’s from a local television company I just don’t understand why they need so many cheesy ads. Do They not know that people will uninstall it! It’s a huge turn off???

How many times

How many times in one day do I have to update? Everytime I updated the app it would appear again, not worth the time
