You’ve ruined one of the best weather apps with full page ads suddenly appearing! Political ad no less to start. The audio was unexpected at 2AM in the morning, and at full volume woke others in my home! Further, the silence button and the X button are too close to the corners to shut off or close! This may be because my phone is set for larger text… but still should not be! Move to another app feature?… Another ad! I’ve used this app for years and is my local weather. I’ve given the app excellent reviews in the past. It was quick to load… but no more! Totally disgusting business practice. I have so many personal settings and locations I hate to leave behind, but if this is not remedied it’s time for me to find another app.
I have used and love this app for years. I tolerated the multitude of banner ads despite the fact they were mostly repetitive; the same ad over and over and over. But now these full page pop up ads for some gutter company are ruining the app; but it could be any company and I still would be annoyed. I understand the use of advertising, and the banners were sufficient without making me keep closing these popup ads over and over. Instead of being interested in the services this company offers, I am annoyed by their insistence on using these full screen ads and by WTVR for allowing it. This is a no win for either of you.
Used to be a really good app and still is for the radar map. However, the daily and hourly showings do not work. I have uninstalled and reinstalled only for it to fail again in those two areas. Fix it.
I finally deleted this today because I got sick of the constant pop up “How About Premium?” pages interrupting. It got that annoying for me. It wasn’t there with the previous app, but now, no thanks. I’ll find another news source.
This app is highly accurate and very up to date. Choosing the follow me option allows to receive the weather no matter where you are (even out of state). Weather Alerts are on point and keep you safe from extreme weather conditions before hand. CBS 6 is by far the best and will recommend to everyone.
I’m giving 3 stars only because of a few issues I’m having with app. And I don’t know where to go to get help! It’s been my GO TO app for weather for years, but recently I’ve been having an issue with my radar. I have uninstalled and re installed the app numerous times, and it won’t fix itself. 1. My radar screen flashes the radar off and on continuously. I can’t look at it unless it’s in motion. And even then sometimes it flashes and I have to go to another radar app. 2. It used to follow me and I’d have 2 blue dots to show the areas I want to see radar. I’d keep it on my home so I could see what was going on at my farm as I work on the road. And it would follow me so I could see what was happening where I’m driving. Now i have to toggle back and forth from follow me to my home town. It’s a pain in the butt while I’m driving. I’ve tried every scenario I can think of to get that feature back but it disappeared when they added the different controls to the bottom of screen. 3. It would be nice if I could go to the daily screen and see that it might rain at some point in the 24 hours instead of having to open the day up to read about the forecast. Many times I look at the daily and it’s showing sunny or cloudy but not rain and then I open to read the weather and it says in the written report that there will be rain in the evening. It’s a little misleading. So I’ve learned not to just look at the icons without opening it to read the full report. Other than these 3 issues that used to work and now doesn’t, I love this weather app. But I’ve found myself using other apps more frequently now. It would be nice also to have a future humidity /wind forecast as well so I can see how humid and/or windy the forecast will be in the upcoming week to 10 days. Again I have to use another app for that. When having a farm, working full time I rely on weather forecasts to plan ahead, and keep up with conditions as much as possible. I look at weather so many times a day it’s unreal. I do love the new features that have been added about strong storms, wind, hail etc on the current radar!
