Alerts don’t work!!!!

Since the last update, I do not get any verbal notifications. Also, when you go to turn alerts on the map none of them show up. There’s a lag even though the app is connected to the Internet just needs to be fixed. I’ve used this app for more than 10 years and now it’s barely functional.

The best app ever

This is the best app ever on my phone I love how y’all prepared for storms like tornadoes and severe thunderstorms, which we just had them on Monday and Tuesday not very much on Monday but a lot on Tuesday, please make more videos. I really wanna see what’s happening and I live in Memphis so yeah

Update ruined radar

This app used to be great but the update has ruined the radar options.

Radar needs improvement

The old radar system was a lot more user friendly and easier to understand new update is not good

Best to worst

This app was my favorite travel app. Not only for weather wherever I was at, but especially for the Traffic part of the app. The Traffic part now ONLY works for Memphis - no more checking the roads for where I’m at, where I’m going, or for my daughters traveling on the road. For this loss of functionality, giving it 2 stars.
