Surplus of Ads Ruin what used to be a 5-Star App

This used to be a great 5-star app that was extremely helpful, lightning-fast, and so simple to understand, use, and navigate. It initially had a minimal number of ads that were short, easy to skip, didn’t block or detract users from viewing the important content of important and critical info in time-sensitive situations like severe weather, major traffic incidents, dangerous events, and other life-threatening situations. That praise and those exemplary qualities of your app no longer exist because WSMV has allowed ads to ruin a formerly great tool that once was leaps & bounds ahead of the competition.

The over overwhelming proliferation of poorly managed, intrusive, illogically placed ads over the past few years combined to morph your proven successful frontrunner app into a product that many former followers have abandoned because it has changed so dramatically from the most useful tool in our cluttered toolboxes. It’s simply NOT the go-to station of choice among folks who need to quickly and easily launch an app and quickly navigate the maze of distracting, poorly placed, time-wasting ads to stay abreast of life-threatening, important, critical, need-to-know details that would and could be so valuable and useful in emergency situations. Lives are frequently at risk in many situations, but we can no longer rely on your app to be of any use to us even in noncritical, routine daily life. Your once meaningful app simply is too hard to navigate through so many ads and broken links that interfere with our repeated attempts to get to the details and what’s important to your hungry, time-challenged users. Why don’t your emergency notifications that so frequently pop onto our screens fail to take users directly to the correct story, photos, or videos related to the disruptive popups? Why are there up to a dozen or more irrelevant ads and links so illogically placed between the actual headline and the beginning paragraph?

Well, enough rambling. We’re frustrated and disappointed that we’ve seen your app fall so far downward from atop the pedestal into a crowded group of competitors well below. We’ve had to find a suitable app to replace your formerly top-ranked app. We still check back frequently with hopes of seeing vast improvements in your app, but we’re dismayed by the continuing level of decline. We would be so pleased if we could quickly spot a valiant effort by the great staff and senior WSMV 4 management team to fight its way back into the top spot as the app of choice when concerned, discerning, anxious users can once again place their trust in your important app. We all need you to guide us safely through these turbulent times when every second counts!
Thank you.

Too many spam notifications

This is supposed to be a weather app but you get more notifications about other things and have no way to turn them off. I want notifications about weather events not about the color of fireworks.

Great

This app is great it tells the truth most of the time and has fun warrings that can really keep you on your toes and make you think twice .Anyway i recommend it deeply .You can learn stuff that you would not if you did not have this amazing experience on this wonderful app. The reason how I found this app was I said Tuesday is going to be 66° and sunny but then she looked on her Weather app and it said almost the complete opposite so that is how I found this amazing weather app that I totally recommend to you. If you do not have a reliant Weather app you should totally get this. I am not a Weather app freak but I do know one thing that this is better than most weather apps that you can find like the one that comes on your phone when you first get it that one is not super great. Like I said, I do not know much about this kind of stuff, but my mom says it is better than most which I believe is true in my opinion so if you were really looking for a Weather app, this one should be the one for you

Weather radar too fast

The weather radars have all been changed in that the Past radar goes by too quickly. It used to pause at the current time’s radar return before repeating the cycle. Now it flies by that and returns to the beginning of the cycle. No time to study the map unless manually pausing it.

Keeps going down

The app can be difficult to navigate. Trying to get current local news can be difficult.. Someone loves some generic news channel that has nothing to do with Nashville. The app is not in sync with the news in the morning. I hope they’re not paying good money for somebody to put this together.
