Streaming Issues

This was my sole weather app, but during last few warnings(tornado and severe thunderstorm), there is no streaming. Link for severe weather coverage always goes to pre-recorded weather.

Just so bad

I don’t know if it’s because of the decrease in personnel and funding, but this app has changed so much for the worse. Much less interactive and much less informative.

Ads are ridiculous

These ads are just ridiculous. WHNT doesn’t make enough money already?
