I am starting to get really disappointed with this app. i have used this since 2016. but i am going to have to move on now. frist it started with locking some features behind a pay wall. now i get 2 or 3 ads when I use it. there are a lot better apps out there with a lot more detail features. your too basic to be doing all these ads. edit after some time I reinstalled the app to see if it changed. it looks like the click through ad are gone and we only have banter ads. thank you for listening

Have used this app forever. Not anymore. Can't even get past the location setting prompt after the update. Really sucks.
started crashing my phone recently. between that. running poorly the last 4 months and the incessant ads I can't use it anymore
the weather is never correct on here. tells me no rain.... it rains... tell me 2-4 inches of snow..... its 8. very inaccurate
Every report given, did not match up to the radar. If you waited 5 minutes everything was totally different. Then when I go to refresh the app it would say null with a red screen for tornadoes. Complete trash. I've had this app for months and it hasn't been accurate at all. If I could give zero stars I would.
not accurate at all. Gave light rain forecast but I was smart enough to use a third party radar before planning a trip. Glad I did, cause now we have multiple tornado threats and I would've been stuck out in them. Probably shouldn't have a forecast if all of them are always wrong. edit: after leaving my review, app just force closes, and the widget no longer works. if I could give it zero stars I would..
It won't open up. Just goes through the same thing over and over.
ads have absolutely destroyed the experience and ease of use of this app. weatherbug ftw!
unless ads every 5 secs an half the time the app never even loads
change my review because the newest update has made the app completely unusable for me. It will not open.
