Unwanted notifications (Too bad I can’t rate 0 stars)

I downloaded the app for weather alerts, and my settings only allow weather related notifications.

Instead I receive multiple unwanted notifications for the start of NBA and WNBA games, potato chips, puddles of water on roads, K-POP concerts and other topics I do not want. Repeated requests to the app developers are ignored.

Do not download unless you want unnecessary notifications.
